What's blue and fucks pensioners? Mrs Thatcher. That's who. Mrs Thatcher, eh? Little bit of politics there. My name's Ben Elton, goodnight. |

Here's my analysis of the new ISA under 40's deely. The generation of voters who first got to vote in 1997 (that's me, I'm 40, see how the maths work) were, on the whole, more left-wing than the generation before, seeing as how the influx of new Labour voters brought Mr Blair to power. The new voters had become progressively more left wing since 1983, giving us ever decreasing Tory majorities until 1997. Since 1997 the balance has swung back resolutely towards the right. Therefore the new ISA is a gift to Tory voters. It would be too obvious to give the new ISA product to only those aged under 36. Or only those living in the Suth East and selected nice parts of NorthernPowerhouse (High Peak, Altrincham, Cheadle Hulme, that sort of thing...) so they've identified which generation with some disposable income is most likely to reciprocate the gift and given it there. Or do I need to get my tinfoil hat on again? |

Doctor K
He (Osborne) didn't look too comfortable on Sky News being questioned about cutting disability benefits. His days are numbered and he will never make Tory Leader

The Teaboy
All he can do now is prep for a series of tasty 6-figure part-time directorships of fossil fuel companies. Oops. He just did.

Too Much Water
DeeGee, more because that age group have as a rule been excluded from the mass rise in house prices. Wouldn't be surprised to see it interact with pension changes /AE at some point, could be a viable option for those who are self-employed. Your analysis is flawed as young people tend to vote more for left wing parties until they eventually see the error of their ways! |
