I very much doubt she was in the loop for that discussion...
True, i'm sure she didn't personally instigate it, but these people were working on her behalf

Many self employed people are now being chased for tax arrears after their accountants used Loan Based Remuneration Schemes to reduce tax liability. Their defence that these schemes were brought about by their accountants working on their behalf have been met with the blanket statement that, despite employing accountants to deal with their financial affairs, it is ultimately down to each individual to personally ensure that their tax affairs are appropriately in order.

It can't be one rule for one person and another rule for someone else.

Yet more demonstrations and outrage from pensioners groups on the news this evening about their loss of approx £3 a week.

Where were they when their pensions were going up above inflation and disabled people had their benefits cut or frozen? Where were they when benefits for children were slashed?
