Income Tax was the first tax in British history to be levied directly on people's earnings. It was introduced in 1799 by the then Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger, as a temporary measure to cover the cost of the Napoleonic Wars.

Don’t think it’s an invention, but I understand the sentiment, but War does always push medical advancements though… the last 20 years of conflict as driven the advancement of mass trauma injuries from initial life saving treatment to surgery, after care and prosthetics. All now used in civilian settings

(I saw a woman today gawping at her phone whilst her toddler was crossing the road, at the traffic lights behind her, like little ducks without even looking at any of her three kids.)

At least I was keeping an eye on her, whilst waiting for her to get on the kerb and the light to go green:

I was in holiday in Tunisia and went on an evening excursion for a meal. The hosts went on and on about their national dish couscous.

A waiter approached a guest about it and said how wonderful it was. The northern lad simply replied “tastes like shite”.
