In the news

Not being funny, but if I was in charge the first thing I would do is charge double tax to anyone who says "Not being funny, but £156k is not a huge amount"

And yet, given the amounts that some people "earn" (footballers, Simon Cowell, 'the rich bankers', emergency plumbers, etc) I am genuinely surprised that a mere £156k is enough to put you in the top 1%. I expected it to be ten times that.
