PETER Neivens (OBEJ bas just retired as Deputy Assistant Commisioner at New Scotland Yard. Not for him. though the gardening trowel and slippers in front of the telly: he's already lined himself up a nice little number with Trident TV as executive director of its casino division.
His job there is to ensure the threatened licences for its Playboy casinos are renewed.
Nor need he worry that he'll be in strange company. The majority of the Gaming Board's [the licensing authority] inspectors are ex-policemen, with ranks up to chief inspector and at least the same number of ex-cops work for the casino companies.
Very cosy, all these old pals inspecting and licen. cing each other. Must make for some very thorough investigation! half the average wage. the percentage of income pai out in tax has risen from 6.6% in 1978-9 to 11.795 this year.
A single man on twice the average wage fie £297.50 per week| actuall pays a smaller percentag of his income now than is 1978-9. Great thing. thi redistributive taxation.
