My Lord Rees Mogg
An excellent piece about the way in which the questions asked can change the results of an opinion poll.

Ambrose speaks out!
You really do want to read this. As elegant a description of our cause as you might see. The final lines:
Sadly, I think we must start planning to extract ourselves as gracefully as we can from this Project before it has the chance to abolish referendums for ever.
Quite.

A delight from Polly Toynbee
A real glory here:
The British tax system urges us to use property as a bank, because it is barely taxed.
Now it’s certainly true that it could be differently taxed, better taxed. But the claim that property is barely taxed in the UK?
Actually, we have the highest property taxes amongst the advanced nations.
| #1 | United Kingdom: | 11.9% | |
| #2 | Japan: | 10.3% | |
| #3 | United States: | 10.1% | |
| #4 | Canada: | 9.7% | |
| #5 | Australia: | 8.9% | |
| #6 | Switzerland: | 8.1% | |
| #7 | France: | 6.8% | |
| #8 | Ireland: | 5.6% | |
| #9 | New Zealand: | 5.4% | |
| #10 | Netherlands: | 5.4% |
Makes you wonder why anyone listens to Polly Toynbee really, doesn’t it?
