What about this one then?

IR35 rules to hit private sector with 54% dividend tax

Some April Fools just ain't funny.

So I guess that 7.5% dividend tax hike I've been hearing about was an April fool's day joke too.

Phew that's a relief - Didn't fancy paying an extra several thousand pounds in tax next year.

Sadly probably not a hoax

Since Frederick Chetwynd-Talbot was the 18th Earl of Shrewsbury, and is dead, chances are it's a hoax. At the moment.

The Times has an article about students campaigning to change the names of Kings College and Imperial College, as they are " “symptomatic of the historical and structural racism and sexism that cause daily microaggressions to students of colour and those who self-identify as female” and they should instead be called Gaia College and Citizen’s College."

"Mr Chetwynd-Talbot said the moves would be a start but had other suggestions. “I’m not terribly happy about Jesus College, Oxford, either. And don’t even get me started on the School of Oriental and African Studies,” he said."

Utterly believable.

Reading The Daily Mail in the pub (sorry) and they have a story about Olivia Coleman about to be announced as the new James Bond.
