Part of the British identity is meant to be tolerance of others' opinions. I would like to think we can all unite and act on this part of our identity whatever our views on TV providers, Brexit or The Voice.

I read a really good article - which I can no longer find - which said that the UK is too large to become a tax shelter. And our wide range of industries means that a reduction in corporation tax would not be made up by a large number of companies relocating here. It also said that the UK needs to start paying more tax. We've had austerity but that's not made up for the lack of tax revenue the country needs. Sooner than later, we're going to have start paying more tax and it is likely that Richard Hammond will start to prepare us for the bad news.
