Exactly why did the abolition of the 10p income tax band come as such a surprise to so many people? Gordon Brown announced it in his last Budget as Chancellor in March 2007. The news was commented on and then died a death – until the abolition came into force this April.
Anyone who has already read the new book by my fellow writer Frank Rawlins would have known it would rebound on Gord. There on pages 254/5 of The Trouble With Money (The Diary Of A Lottery Winner) is the hero’s verdict on the abolition – written on March 22 of that year.
He really rips into Brown – I couldn’t have ripped better myself.
Buy it, read it. Whichever party you support, there’s some vitriol for everyone. Go to www.huckbooks.co.uk
