A right Royal tax wheeze...

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Tax avoidance by MNC's operating in the UK using exploitative labour practices and sheltering profits in off-shore tax havens is my pet hate. The Tories don't seem to mind much though.

I get your Royalist sentiments Alf but just how many castles, palaces and stately homes does one person really need?

Anyone trying to make political capital on this issue will be made to look silly.

There always have been bad apples in every party - no moral high ground for any party here.

Various parties have played the "holier than thou" card and been found out.

Yes, even the Labour party....and the Lib Dems.

Spot on 59-60, and you're right of course, they will be made to look silly, but it doesn't stop some people trying does it ?

Now you really are being silly BT, you know full well it's not just her, she has a huge family and hundreds of hangers on as well, where do you think they're going to live ? The homeless sitution is dire enough without the Royals sleeping under Westminster Bridge as well. Think of the strain on the Sally Army canteen.

When I was younger I used to be a cowboy keeping the Indians at bay until the cavalry arrived but had I been a Knight would have been loyal to my Queen and defended her with my life. (“Arise Sir Alf ”)

...being the loyal subject you seem - Alf....I take it you follow their lead - and as German tradition - open your presents on Christmas eve.

Sooner the better Norder.....Glad I don't live in Spain where they don't open their presents until Epiphany(Fiesta de los tres Reyes) when The Kings or wise men brought their gifts to baby Jesus and falls on the 6th January..

Some people Alf !!! Just bloody selfish, they'd happily see good decent folk on the streets, no consideration for others.
