Let them eat cake

A stunningly beautiful run, with dawn breaking behind Ben Nevis and the shoreline of the sea loch encrusted with ice.
Less beautifully, benefit fraud (poor people being dishonest) allegedly costs the UK around £1bn per year. Tax evasion (rich people being dishonest) costs £15bn. Tax avoidance (rich people being amoral) costs £70bn. And no prizes for guessing which of these our government has selected as an easy target. Suffice to say it still pays to have friends in high places, which must be what Cameron means when he waffles about caring capitalism.
