Imagine if the allowance went up to £50,000. The whole tax system would collapse. Everyone would throw a parade.
But the government would have no money for roads. Or schools. Or those weird roundabouts that confuse everyone.
So maybe the freeze is a necessary evil. A boring, sad, long-term necessary evil.
Either way, keep your eyes peeled. The next Budget could change everything. Watch the news like a hawk. Or a very caffeinated owl.
