And I thought the British government had made some unfathomably crass decisions…
Surely the British government is hardly in a position to make similarly unfathomably crass decisions ?
Do we have anything approaching this which could be scaled back ?
“Ukrainian law currently places people who fought for the Soviet Union in the 1979-1989 war, and people injured in the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear power accident, in a special tax and benefits category giving them reduced prices on most government-provided services, including public transport and electricity and telephone bills.”
As far as I’m aware anyone who has served in Afghanistan is not placed in a special tax and benefits category giving them reduced prices on most government-provided services, including public transport and electricity and telephone bills, although I could be wrong. Which would suggest that the British government has simply always behaved in a crass manner – if that situation is considered unacceptable.
