As usual, reality paints a far different picture from the tawdry image scrawled by the CBI and Tory frontbenchers. Not only do British businesses pay lower levels of corporation tax than their counterparts abroad but they benefit from the most savage legal hamstringing of trade unionism.
But boardroom fat cats in Britain have one further advantage over their competitors, which is their total inability to feel any sense of shame.
