Over on Telegraph Blogs, their idea of the right man to judge
David Cameron's speech is David Cameron's cousin.
Congratulations to the Prime Minister on having pleased a cheering
audience full of people who thought that a personal income of £41,000 was in the middle of anything.
That is
nearly twice the median household
income.
Now, about the 85 per cent of people who earn too
little to pay the 40p tax rate?
It is the income of nearly 5 million people from headmasters to train drivers. A tax on having worked your whole life to pass a pay threshold is a tax on aspiration and on work.

It's not as if you'd ever have to pay it.

The whole thing is already unravelling, anyway. It turns out that they do not even plan on trying to do it before 2018, due to their having added so much to the deficit during this Parliament.
If Mr. L. is a layabout, he is the best dressed, best housed, best fed, best watered, best read, best spoken and best connected layabout there has ever been.
