The Witch Doctor

MAINLY ARITHMETIC AND ALGEBRA

Ah ha…..

Here is a new page which will continually be carved and recarved as time goes on.

One of The Witch Doctor’s “Aide Memoires.

Not a protocol, nor a competency.

Just an “Aide Memoire.” A personal “Aide Memoire” that will help me get to grips with what is happening to the compulsory monetary contribution that those in the UK are giving to the government in return for health care provision.

Share it with me if you want. It probably won’t be accurate but eventually it will demonstrate important trends.
