How can these polls be believed, and how can they be representative of the population?

Some sources suggest that almost 40% of UK adults have less than £1,000 in savings so the changed ISA limit is hardly going to be an issue for them.

Might some (perhaps those in the larger mansions) be able to claim that the pile is actually owned by someone else (maybe an offshore Trust) as a way of avoiding this charge, or will the charge be on the residents?

Call me a chicken but I’m not brave enough to deliberately break a law that I disagree with in the hope that 12 random folk plucked off the street, who probably don’t want to be there, will spare me from jail.
