And, some good 'stuff' in there as well. The last presentation gave the hint the self employed may be for the high jump.

I see The Guardian has a new article today which is much along the lines of this thread.

"People tend to marry and make friends with a relatively narrow social circle of colleagues, old school or university mates and fellow school-gate parents, which is why most regard themselves as middling-ish earners; they’re confused about where they really stand, because they’re measuring themselves against an unrepresentative group."

And now the Chancellor has hinted the Tory Manifesto may be altered on not raising tax, national insurance, and VAT.

"The chancellor has given a major hint that he is no fan of the 2015 Tory manifesto pledge not to raise income tax, national insurance or VAT."
