Well, Middlesex anyway... read on
And so I get the train home; someone has kindly left a copy of The Sun (or should that be ‘your super soaraway Sun'?) on the table in front of me. OK, what’s in here about tax and finance, I wonder.
On the front cover is our illustrious leader darling. Sorry, I wasn’t being familiar. I meant to say on the front cover is our illustrious leader, Darling.
The Chancellor has received a letter from the Bank of England explaining the rise in inflation, which I believe from yesterday’s paper has particularly hit the price of bananas, my daily breakfast on the train.Perhaps I’ll cut down to two from now on!
The main story has one of those headlines that only The Sun can do: ‘Oi Sarky, we’re narky over EU navy malarky’.
Apparently, brave British taxpayers will not be happy that their contributions to the defence of the nation could mean that one of our aircraft carriers ends up sailing under an EU flag.
Page two has more tax-related stories.
First, the Conservative party chairman, Caroline Spelman, is still in the line of fire over her MP expenses. When is HMRC going to get to grips with this issue?
Secondly, in the continuing campaign to take the heat off HMRC over its loss of 25 million taxpayer records, someone has nabbed Hazel Blears’s laptop.
Government plot? You decide.
Finally, page three - or should that be PAGE 3!?
Today’s ‘news in briefs’ is that Nikkala (sounds Finnish to me, but living in Middlesex?) is shocked that inflation is heading towards 4%. She says: ‘I am definitely curbing my spending’.
So much so that she appears to have saved money by only buying half of her bikini.
She adds: ‘We’ve got to support each other through these financial tough times’.
What more can I say? Lots, but probably best not to.
I’ve got your best interests at heart, so I won’t provide a hyperlink to Nikkala's story.
End of your coffee break: get back to that other three-letter word ending in 'x'.
Tax, of course.
