Grim reading. Interesting follow up discussion on Radio 4's Call You and Yours yesterday including an economist explaining real v relative poverty. Worth a listen.

The guy from Cumbria, past retirement age but still going 2 jobs is typical of a genre I speak to regularly. The e-mail from somebody earning £33k and claiming to pay £8k tax struck me as a bit odd. Even on a BR code (ie no deduction for personal allowance) it shouldn't be much more than £6.5.
