Of course, I’m down with the kids, but I do now find myself venturing out walletless more often than not now I I’m confident my ‘phone-pay-thing works. Is it such a bad thing? I’m sure there was outrage when banknotes were introduced in the 16-somethings, even though there were no pensions to be collected at the post office, because there were no post offices. Coins long ago stopped being worth anything; and if the internet and everything else goes belly-up, we’ll be back to bartering vegetables from our allotments anyway.

Why did she/they (in the old sense) think that tinkering around with IHT and CGT would be enough to sort out the NHS; and the potholes; and…and the list goes on. My guess is that they asked the Treasury for a list of anything not involving income tax that they could get away with lightly, although they should already have learned from the winter fuel stuff that all publicity is not good publicity.
