Oh, and Simon Heffer too. Speaking of Jeff Randall, Cameron needs to plead with him to be a Tory peer in the Lords and get him in the team before it is too late. Oh, and Simon Heffer too.

Think of the money you would save by sacking those incompetents at the "working" tax credit office. Spot on with regard to taxing those who earn less than the average wage.

If Cameron had any economic policies that were anything other than anaemic, they would have a 30 per cent lead in the polls.

We also have to eat and use energy. You would think that with all their talk of "social justice (no I have never believed in any such thing), this would have been taken into account.

According to HMRC’s estimates, the richest 10% of taxpayers pay 53% of total income tax. The current average rate of tax for someone on GBP150/- is 31.6% (about GBP47/-) compare that to 14% for someone on GBP20/- (GBP2,800). So the former is paying 17x more tax than the latter whilst only earning 7.5x more. Not only that the former group are unlikely to get any government social benefits apart from child benefit (tax credits etc.) So in my mind they do !

Unfortunately government policy only incentivises the useful to leave. If only we could persuade a few quangocrats to migrate to Switzerland.

Spell it out for us and we can see for ourselves whether we agree with you. I suspect many people have no idea of the extent and cost Reply: I have done so, many times, on this site. Start with abolition of the unelected regional quangos. John – please name names – much is said of wasted public money going to quangos – but which would you cut ?
