" I'm going to keep it classy. It would be 'morally wrong' and 'hypocritical' to comment on another individual's tax affairs.":star: Love it when two tax dodgers are at each other's throat. Now's the time to use the time honoured Tory tactic of "Divide and Rule" against them. XD

Indeed, but will it make any difference? people seem to swallow the sharp suited, smooth talking **** and many i suspect would be quite happy to swap places and be rich and look down on the law abiding "hard working" little people!
Swale - He hasnt broken the law, however, ethically he is morally bankrupt on the issue. Glasshouses and stones spring to mind!
I dont like the pomus p rick anymore that the next man. But I think we need to stick to the facts. ????
Tax laws are created by the rich to benefit the rich. Maybe those that evade tax should be excluded from the benefits that accrue from paying taxes. Maybe when a rich man's house burns down the Fire Service doesn't put it out. Or when his house is robbed the Police say tough. Or when the politicians send an unquestioning military to destabilise other countries they would then have to prove that they themselves are contributing to the cost of such expeditions.Quote:

It's pretty obvious he inherited £500k from his father. Much of which was probably made from paying little tax in off sure dealings. So that money should be investigated as it's probably dirty anyway as much should have been paid in tax. Then there is the fact that he's milked the system and £175k of it should have been taxable at 40% but they way they've done it means "it's legal be not moral"
He's now deflection saying look I've paid loads of tax and got everyone to follow suit which has moved it off "Dodgie Dave" has done exactly what he said others must not!
In short he's used tax avoidance to short change the coffers by £70k. But it's ok for him!
