Only two of the six wives were executed. Catherine Howard was the other, she was only a teenager. Both of them should have never been executed.

I’m reading a book called Leadership: Plan and simple. It was the basis of a day-course I attended. It confirms everything I’ve ever believed in and I’d love to make it compulsory for any PM

Yeah but I think I paid about £2 or £3 off eBay. There’s a whole “industry” developed off the back of the book, called Future, Engage, Deliver. It really is simple stuff but it’s also right. And so many leaders, including our politicians get it all wrong

Thatchers Poll Tax was her undoing, and yet the media still hid the scam the Tories pulled.
So here’s the bit the “more informed” people think happened:
Thatcher tried to replace a property tax that charged more for large homes with a flat rate tax placed on every head. By and large, rich folk would’ve paid less and poor folk would’ve paid more. It was her undoing and things returned to the way they were before with the Council Tax replacing the Poll Tax.
And now what really happened:
The Poll tax wasn’t just about a flat-rate charge on the head every adult. It was also a smokescreen for shifting the local tax away burden from Business Rates and onto citizens. Before the Poll Tax, around 75% of Local Governmnet funding came from Business Rates. With the introduction of the Poll tax it became more like 50%. And who do you think paid for that? Yes, we did. But the Tories are the Party of low tax, so that was ok!
Now the real deception: The Poll Tax was replaced by Council Tax and everybody was happy again (yaay!). Except that businesses got to keep the tax reduction and the people continued to live with the extra burden. The new banding system also placed a bigger burden on smaller properties and a smaller burden on larger ones, compared to the old rates. But everyone was happy because “The People” won.
Blind, ignorant, deluded sheep: No wonder we are in such a mess.
