In 40 year's of budget watching, this was the first that appeared to affect me personally. As I live, contentedly and carefully, on a small, actuarially reduced pension I find that my tax bill has doubled in a flash.
A post on another blog says I will not be affected because it is unearned income. We will see !
On a good note I thought David Cameron was brilliant when all the cards were stacked against him. Very encouraging.
