UK Deficit & Debt Reduction Plan

In order to get the deficit & debt down, why don't the UK government just slap a motherf**k load of tax on luxury items, e.g.

1) an extra ?2 of tax on a packet of cigs
2) an extra ?1 of tax on a pint of beer
3) an extra ?2 of tax on a bottle of wine
4) put 20% tax on flights (or increase by that much if already exists)
5) increase VAT on foreign holidays by 150%
6) increase VAT on cars with > 2ltr engine by 20%
7) increase VAT on cars with > 300hp by 300%
8) put extra ?2 tax on cinema tickets
9) increase VAT on jewelery & watches by 100%
10) increase VAT on cakes, sweets & chocolate by 300%
11) extra ?200 tax charge on new TVs that are > 32inch
12) extra ?500 tax charge on new TVs that are > 40inch
13) extra ?1500 tax charge on new TVs that are 50inch or bigger
14) new tax charge of ?5 on tickets for sporting events that are televised.

Basically, nobody has any fun for at least the next 12months whilst we get things under control.
