Not exactly. You'd have to be selling an awful lot of secondhand stuff (or high value items) to trigger a tax charge. Completely agree, however, with making tax and compliance fairer.
I have a poem in this fabulous issue; I hope you enjoy reading it.

My ideal writing residency is the travel money kiosk at my local Tesco. No one ever seems to use it, so I'd have lots of free time. I'd look busy, but no one would be able to see what I was typing. And if anyone did want currency, I'd say we'd just run out, sorry.

I'm excited by the possibilities of this unorthodox analysis. Is there a more misunderstood economic quality than love? Is there a more misunderstood emotional quality than biscuits?
Delighted to say I have a new poem forthcoming on the
@SelcouthStation
blog. They were the first people to publish my work and I'm hugely fond of them. They host fantastic poets (and me) and publish beautiful chapbooks; plus, they offer feedback services. What's not to like?
