      I laid flowers outside her house when she died. Very sad day. I got interviewed by foreign news crews.

          I told that to the news crews so I suspect they never used my footage. And I understand the views of those who hated her. She was a very decisive person and it was good she never had a state funeral.

          Oddly she thought being equally despised and loved was great - it proved she made a difference.

            She was indeed very divisive. You can't doubt that she had a long term plan (whatever you may have thought of it) that saw beyond her initial term. Just don't get that any more with politicians. It's all 5 year sticking plasters.

              Is that the same North East that gave The Tories an extra 8 seats?

                TBF Boris has a 10 year plan. That's it though. That's all he's got.

                  But is the general thinking along the right lines? Remove NI as an entity and chuck the shortfall into Income Tax?
                  The tax system with its various brackets and different names ( PAYE, employees NIC, employers NIC) are design to obfuscate the overall rate of tax an individual is actually paying.

                  I've had conversations with educated people who are happy they earn less than the higher rate tax band, because they think they would have to pay 40% tax on everything they earn.

                    Successive governments talk about moving toward a progressive tax regime, when they actually mean progressing towards an ever complicated tax regime!

                    For example, in April 2017, the thresholds for Primary and Secondary NI contributions were finally aligned. The rates published last month for 2020-21 show these are due to go out of line again.
