Sith Cancel Scheduled Downing Street Meeting
The Telegraph's Chris Hope is reporting that the Smith Institute has cancelled the meeting it was having at No. 11 Downing Street and moved it to a different central London location - the British Academy.He says the Smith Institute refused to say where it originally planned to have the meeting - despite it stating clearly in the original invitation that it was being held "with the kind permission of the Chancellor of the Exchequer".
Hope has picked up on the use of "Fair" by Gordon yesterday at his press conference in reference to tax, and the seminar's "Fair Tax" title. Could they somehow be related?
Anti-sleaze campaigner Chris Grayling MP agrees; "It looks like an amazing coincidence that the Smith Institute is riding once again to the rescue in areas where Gordon Brown is having political problems."

All we need now is some opinion polls on taxation from Opinion Leader Research...
This is a strangely uninclusive meeting the sith are holding.
When I called offering to present my views on the taxation system as experienced by an FSB member, I was told no tickets were available.
Am I the wrong sort of businessman ?
The word "fair" in relation to tax usually implies the secondary meanings of the word - "high" and "capriciously administered".
I see Darling has now gone along with the tax changes presented by the Tories - you know, the ones that were "unaffordable".
So is Cameron now our Prime Minster? Has democracy come to such a state that there has been a change of the head of government without us even being TOLD? Because as far as I can see the Cameroons say "JUMP!" and the Treasury say "how high, and would you like me to kiss your ass, sir?"
Labour - utterly, utterly pathetic.
