Cash ISA limit cut from £20,000 to £12,000, £8,000 more if invested in shares; over 65s can keep £20,000 in cash.
Example of how the state helps the City of London.
£8,000 in shares doesn't mean companies get more for investment. It is transfer from A to B. City gets commissions.

Trump's Ukraine plan is shameless and should be rejected
Russia loses nothing, the U.S. profits and Europe is stuck with the bill for rebuilding all that Russia destroyed — a total the World Bank estimates at more than $500 billion.
