Inheritance tax - do we give a damn whose idea it was?
Not really.
A threshold increase was always going to be announced.
The Boy George knew it was coming so said "£1Million" knowing it was a bit ahead of what Darling/Grodon had worked out precisely. Who cares, he/they thought, if £1M would have a negative effect it's bigger and, in this instance, better than £700k.
More money for hospitals and education and .... see I've forgotten already the other thing, are all ... yeah the flight tax... I remember. Anywez they were all anticipated and The Boy George did a clever bit of upstaging - stole all the punchlines. That's the way I read it.
Or - Did he? I have serious doubts all round - everyone of them is a fibbing Tuareg.
Hell I'm confused now. Maybe they were Genghis Campbell's ideas afterall- Simon Hughes thinks so. Not much you can do with a name like Simon Hughes?
Go for a fixed term between elections that's what I say.
I'm not sure I can be bothered voting again. Certainly not for a party.
Forgive my political outburst - I retire from paid employment tomorrow (12 Oct 2007) after 42 years and I'm feeling a little trepidatious (must check spelling).
We had in mind that this blog site would be 'Arts & Literature'. Didn't we TWIR? What happened?

The genuinely extraordinary thing is the media feeding frenzy that's erupted over this - an idea which will directly benefit a very few of the population while the overall tax position remains revenue-neutral (i.e. the Tories are robbing the poor to give to the rich . . . no change there . . .)
And the "Tories" over here are desperate to keep their dynastic fortunes intact by eliminating the tax altogether. Their marketing move is to dub it the DEATH TAX.
Nick,
I don't think there is such a werd.
Congratulaions on your retirement.
