Here, via Tim Worstall, is the blandly smiling, terrifying Tooheyesque face of Richard Murphy, a man bent on extracting ever-more tax to increase the flow of his collectivist coffee: It is in the private sector that we need cuts – or more tax if they refuse to do it. The […]
Is hosted by Mr Eugenides, holding back his rage (or not). Here is one link to another pseudoynmous blogger: an English magistrate giving us insights on the law in practice.
