Government early signs

So far so good, if we can ignore the treasury secretary David Mills with an expense claim that didn't seem to have been dealt with the tidal wave of the last parliament.

I watched the Cameron speech in Yorkshire. He mentions local stars Pace, and that he used to be involved with OnDigital trying to flog their freeview platform. Ok you cannot win them all.

Good points, 1 in 1 out for tax legislation. Bad points they could really mess up on Capital Gains Tax. Although I can see the point in wanting to address the imbalance of 40/50% on income and 18% on capital gains - a lot of people have structured themselves around this being the status quo, and it is unfair to suddenly hit them with this.

On the other hand this is hard times, as long as the public see enough of the banks getting pushed harder in our interests maybe we'll buy it.
