Taxpayers Alliance know the importance of timing

Another organisation who would no doubt claim to be acting in the public interest are the Taxpayers Alliance, who are temporarily without a history or mission according to their website.

There are still conflicting views over whether the TPA is a pro-tory front organisation or a right-wing fringe group with impressive connections. Editors throughout the UK however will not give much of a toss about antecedents. They will simply grab the Town Hall Rich List 2010 as a godsend during the news famine that precedes the Easter break – which is just as the authors planned it.
