A banner at the top of the Guardian website, this morning (it has disappeared now, but there is still an ad at Money Guardian):

MONEY: TIPS TO MAKE SURE THAT INHERITANCE TAX DOESN'T WIPE OUT YOUR ESTATE

Funny, isn't it, that the Guardian leader on the subject describes Stephen Byers' recent call for its abolition as "absurd".

As a friend of mine put it to me this morning: "Obviously the Camden liberal brigade is even wealthier than we imagined - no doubt legal aid for defending the jihad-loving classes being one of its primary sources of income."

The explanation can't be, of course, that the Guardian is being hypocritical. Or that there's one tax law for those who are wealthy enough to afford a good tax accountant and another for the poor sods who are suddenly stuck paying the tax on their parents' death. And, in the Guardian's mind, they can be safely ignored.
