Labour dodge stamp duty

Now Gordon Brown is supposed to be very keen to stop tax evasion. But Guido has the socialists playing their usual hypocrisy here.

Man in a Shed has an offer to buy the end of his garden. It seemed like a lot of money, but when estate agency fees, stamp duty and moving costs (including of course the Shed) were added in it just wasn't worth it. Why move to a bigger property when the anti-southerner government will soon fire up property taxes to move money to its own marginal constituencies in the North and Scotland ?

One rule for the deranged, overpaid, under talented socialists - another for the rest of the population.
