Inheritance tax

Former cabinet minister Stephen Byers has called for inheritance tax to be scrapped and replaced.

Have you ever noticed that the rich people always manage to pay fewer taxes than the poor; it’s because of all the crafty lawyers that they employ. After all can anyone spend more than a certain amount? Let’s say £1,000,000 the tax man should get all amounts above that. Then the rich might spend some more of their money whilst they are alive and buy goods and services that might just help the poor stay in employment.

Home Secretary John Reid has gained almost as much UK media coverage in the past two weeks as John Prescott and Gordon Brown combined, a study claims.

Well what a surprise, I don't think. It has become blatantly obvious for months
now
just who Teflon Tony would like to take over the reins of power when he
retires/is thrown out. Never mind his gentleman’s agreement with Goody Gordon,
only a fool would expect a politician to keep their word or do anything straight
and above board.
