Another nice snippet from Cleggs’ new centre-cleft school of British politics:
“We all read the headlines about benefit fraud. We all agree it’s wrong when people help themselves to benefits they shouldn’t get. But when the richest people in the country dodge their tax bills that is just as bad. Both come down to stealing money from your neighbours.”
Did I hear that quite right? It’s just as bad for some banker / high-roller / celeb / industry magnate to defraud ‘the British tax payer’ out of serious wedge as it is for people on the breadline cheating the system to feed their families / heat their homes / find a job / and generally get by.
The caring sharing face of ConDemUK. Give me strength.
