It's time to axe the tax on savings - Telegraph
"The Telegraph is calling on the Chancellor to abolish the tax taken from savings accounts – a move that would cost the Government £1.76bn, according to new figures, but would boost returns for millions of savers."
- Gordon Saunders
"The latest figures show that of the £1.5 trillion in British bank accounts, HMRC pocketed £1.76bn last year. Owing to falling interest rates, this is less than half the £4.36bn that the taxman took three years ago."

Anti-business anger is threat to UK prosperity
"The Coalition has so far been unable to mount a credible defence of free enterprise, partly because too many ministers don’t believe in anything other than staying in power. Britain is thus becoming ever more like France: anti-achievement, anti-wealth and anti-hard work. It is a cultural catastrophe."
- Gordon Saunders
"A recent Ipos Mori poll found that, while there are many things that make us proud of being British – our history (cited by 45pc), the NHS (37pc), the Army (36pc) – just 4pc cited British business. Yet our history is as much one of commercial success as it is of military glory – and who does the public think pays for the NHS and the Army? Without private firms, there would be no economy and no resources to spend on anything."
