Congratulations! As of today, you actually get to keep the money you earn for yourself, rather than having to give it all to Gordon Brown. According to the calculations of right-wing think tank the Adam Smith Institute, the period between 1 January and 2 June represents the proportion of the year you've been effectively working to line the government's pockets rather than your own. And this year, you've spent one day more working for no personal monetary gain than in 2002. It's a rather depressing way to look at things. But if you're feeling a bit too good about yourself now the sun's shining again, their dedicated website has some charming block diagrams, just to really rub it in.
