On my LBC show tonight from 7...
7.10-8pm Ken Livingstone wants to tax millionaires at 80% and anyone earning £200,000 60%. Is he mad? What effect would this have on London's fragile recovery. I'll be talking to Ken Livingstone and Oona King.
8-9pm How much damage does divorce do to children, and should we be concerned that one in four children are bedroom diners. The family meal is disappearing. I'll be talking to Anne Atkins.
9-10pm The LBC medical hour with Dr Rob Hicks. Phone in your health problems or questions.

That level of taxation is mental. As a working class boy I find it incredible that a government thinks it could be morally just to nick over 50% of someone's wages.
ReplyDeletemillionaires tax 80%!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMore economic madness from Red Ken - Labour have really strated to Bolt leftwards. Wonder how much tax tony blair pays!!!
Is Ken Livingstone a madman?
ReplyDeleteNo, but he plays one in public.
Such a tax regimen would severely impact his placemen/women, so is only intended for public consumption, not for actual use.
No Ken's not mad, just infantile and very very stupid. I still can't work out why he hasn't emigrated to Venezuela.
ReplyDeletePlease - don't give the man air time; the spotlight is all he craves. Ignore him, and one day, he really will go away. Please.
I think Ken did make a good point. ....It is immoral to be paid more than £1 million pounds per year.
