One comment I will make is that if these tax cuts will be made, going beyond the 4p cut in income tax, indirect taxes such as VAT should be the first in line for the axe. These really are regressive taxes which proportionately hit the poor much harder, which is presumably why Thatcher was such an enthusiast. The low, despicable nature of Camoron's focus on IHT at the expense of taxes on useful activity, reflecting a preoccupation with the well-being of himself & his mates at the expense of those who actually want to make their own way in the world, must be exposed. Poetry!
