Find the lady
Is it me or is this ‘tax cut’ announced today, that the media are clapping like seals over, nothing more than a tawdry con that would have disgraced an amateur magician on ‘When Will I Be Famous?‘

I don’t know about you, but I’ve often thought that what this country needs is a change in the tax system to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Well, yes. I’ve never figured out why anyone is stupid enough to buy the “Gordon Brown Financial Genius” story anyway.
Any idiot can make things look good if you buy stuff on tick and hide the bills ; Enron spring to mind.
I’ve got a mate who’s an amateur magician.
Nothing tawdry about it at all, though nobody goes to see the shows except friends and family.
One would have thought by now that journalists would have learnt not to go by what the Chancellor announces, but instead to wait and read through all the press releases etc that accompany the Budget. Perhaps they are too lazy to do so. Suits Gordon Brown (and, to be fair, all other politicians) to have a lazy media hanging on in search of an easy headline.
There’s a chap who makes a living as “the socialist magician” When I discovered this, I remarked to the boss that you never see any capitalist magicians because everyone knows they’ve got the invisible hand. Badoom chink.
