Sorry for being ignorant, but what are these two insidious things?

I would presume Iain Duncan Smith and Chris Grayling - one a Minister and the other Secretary of State for Work and Pensions i.e. chief axe-wielders

Sorry about the ambiguity.....

You're right Adrian, I guess that my Mrs is thankful that Atos 'healthcare' don't have the contract (yet) for her rebated V.E.D. as they pass anyone as fit for work who's still breathing (without the aid of an iron lung) at present

apologies over my cynicism (dons flak jacket & ducks beneath the battlements)

There are some folk who don't pay any VED and have non-DVLA number plates, they are called Freeman of the Land and use the Magna Carta which says (I paraphrase) that you can't be taxed for travelling unless you are "Driving" which means you are doing it to carry paying passengers. The government tricked people into becoming "drivers" by way of the driving license.
e.g.
