Philip Hammond's 'tax on age' plan to save his job: take from old workers and give to the young

Philip Hammond is planning a Budget raid on older workers to pay for tax breaks for younger people as he battles to save his job. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is understood to be examining ways to link tax to age to promote “intergenerational fairness” in next month’s Budget.

Tax breaks would be offered to workers in their 20s and 30s, paid for by cutting reliefs for older and better off workers.

Google embarrassed by fake adblocker that served ads

Google just can’t seem to shake the problem of malicious Chrome extensions that find their way past its security checks and onto its Web Store.

The latest example should have been easy to spot as it was masquerading as the popular Adblock Plus adblocker, the legitimate version of which has been downloaded over 100 million times.

Road between Karavomilos - Agia Efimia is going to be improved at a cost of 7,200,000 €. Sounds as though it's going to be widened and straightened in places and include a foot/cycle path. No dates stated.
