Taxing Times To Come

Time was when HMRC and the Treasury refused to discuss individual cases.

George Osborne had expected us all to applaud his "good deal" with Google, which was presumably intended to be the first of several with the great and the good of the Internet.

Well, we didn't, and we won't.

Osborne is already as unpopular as Jeremy Corbyn, but for far less complementary reasons. And that is before the coming Crash.

That there are "more people in work" is only because there are more people in general, there are zero hours contracts, and the unemployed have been reclassified as the self-employed. No one is fooled. 

The voters will prefer the nice and principled man with whom they disagreed on this or that, to the nasty and incompetent man who had destroyed their livelihoods.
