@martinhearson - it worries me that no one (?) seems to think it is a problem if the public is bamboozled by figures that aren't robust.

@MForstater It's good to scrutinise, I agree, but hard to respond to you without knowing where you are coming from in a v polarised debate

@martinhearson that is the thing though, no one scrutinised those figures b4 or after publication. It doesn't help advance understanding.

@MForstater b) if objective is 'tax justice' this is not the most important debate, but it's the only debate you seem interested in having

@martinhearson b) say the wider objective is 'informed public debate on taxation' ...then yes it matters.

@MForstater I think that's a means, not an end

@martinhearson but yes if the means to 'tax justice' is 'misinformed public debate' then no I don't sign up to that.

@MForstater that's not what I meant!
