Kaye asks: is it morally wrong to dodge paying tax, even if you're doing it legally?

How much is the doctors' strike affecting you? Is it chaos or more of an inconvenience? And is it ever okay to have a drink when you're pregnant - or is that simply not on?

Comedian Jimmy Carr has said he made "a terrible error of judgement" by dodging his tax bill via an offshore loophole. David Cameron said that Carr's behavior was "immoral", but is it immoral to do a bit of tax avoidance even when it's not illegal?

Many doctors are abandoning their duties today to strike over a pension row. It's the first time they've been out since 1975. But will the strike cause chaos or just a bit of inconvenience? Will you suffer as a result, or are supporting them in their fight for a fair pension?

And new research from Denmark says that moderate drinking is fine if you're pregnant and won't harm the baby. But we Scots are told to avoid alcohol when we're expecting, and having a glass of wine can make expectant mums feel like social outcasts. Is it okay to drink when you're pregnant, or a great big no-no?
