Chris White writes: It’s nice to be hated again

• [Aug 31] Chris White writes: I don't suppose many readers spend much time on the Daily Express. Most people don't. But a quick glance at yesterday's editorial rant finds that they have it in for the Lib Dems:
"At a time when the tax burden and cost of living are rising and families are being squeezed ever more with each passing day the Lib Dems are fighting the Conservatives not for a tax cut but a tax rise . . "
This is a reference to the re-emergence of the mansion tax . . I didn't come into politics to annoy Daily Express readers. But the fact that the Express is annoyed reminds me why I stay. It gets better. It looks like bankers hate us too . . The Federation of Small Business appears to agree: 'We need reform of the banking structure more now than ever.' So: as we enter September we are hated by the Express, are falling out with the bankers and are on the side of small business.
Reasons to be cheerful indeed.
