The wrong end of the stick

Posted on August 23 2007

The Guardian politics page promotes the second broadcast of Hecklers as follows:

Saturday, 10.15pm, R4: Hecklers
IEA tax specialist Richard Murphy argues that Britain should stop trying to attract the super-rich with tax breaks. Slightly unexpected line.

Well, at least it shows they thought about it, but for the record might I say that just because I stepped foot in the place to record the programme, and even teased them during the broadcast, I am not and never will be an IEA tax specialist! The place is venomous.

In fact I think I might have to lie down for a while whilst recovering from the accusation.

Thanks for reading this post.

Is Wednesday’s broadcast hanging around somewhere on the internet, Richard? I missed you last night – sorry – and I always try to think as little as possible about tax justice and the super-rich on Saturday nights.
