The Times leads today on rich people leaving the country due to the Governments possible tax strategy. Unsurprisingly the emphasis is not on the lack of patriotism or tax avoidance. They also failed to mention that the governments latest auction for bonds was over 10 times oversubscribed – this is a reflection of foreign investors confidence in the British economy and how it is run! Lack of balance here and yet another pathetic example of the decline in British Journalism. They would rather concentrate on a few rich selfish twats than the need to get the NHS working properly, the dire housing situation and our polluted waterways, etc.
I am waiting for the government announcing savings on the use of consultants – last years cost was severaal £billion! I am willing to give the government time to sort things out – but the announcement about imprisoning water chiefs seemed a bit like a typical economy flush!
