Clegg's conference speech
BBC NEWS | Politics | LIVE - Clegg's conference speech
I rather enjoyed Nick Clegg's speech, but wish he'd gone further on taxes. His comment on reducing the tax burden for 9 out of 10 families implies that there'll be tax cuts for all but the highest earners - which, don't get me wrong, is a good thing - but why not go further? I've long been of the opinion that a 50% tax rate for all those earning over, say, £250,000 would put enough money into the system to help the poor, schools, hospitals etc. whilst not affecting the rich too much.
Maybe that's a very simplistic view, I don't know .... I guess I just get angry that some Premier League footballer earning £50K a week is paying the same percentage of tax as a fairly average earner working hard for £35,000 a year. Seems very unfair and I'm sure a higher rate tax bracket would help.

Ding dong ...
As of yesterday, I have another string to my bow - I am an Avon lady!!
I do like Avon products, especially the moisturisers, and though there is apparently someone working my road, I've never received a book - so I've signed up to work with Avon myself and will be distributing my first set of brochures later today.
