OT: Oh no, not politics again (PLEASE DON'T LOOK IF EASILY OFFENDED)

I always thought the queen and her brood were freeloading parasites, but I thought they would at least have the decency to pay tax on all their unearned gains.

Amazing how those who claim to be patriots are the ones who are most reluctant to contribute to the country they claim to love so much.

If you created as much wealth for the country as the Queen does ......you would have a case. Don't suppose you've bought a poppy yet have you and it appears your Messiah with the scruffy appearance and deformed neck hasn't as well.

Bloody hell, I thought the Poppy Police were yet another victim of Tory cuts, but it seems they're alive and well.

Shouldn’t you be at a Momentum meeting duck with all the other Marxist jealous republican losers.

I’m playing Arsehole Bingo, and seriouspie has just got me my HOUSE! by mentioning f00kin poppies.

My prize is he gets to tell me how Liz the benefits scrounger from Windsor “creates wealth”.

They're all in the trough, just as many Lab as Con at it. As would any on here posting about it if they had the dosh to make it worthwhile.

Smiffy, this is not a Labour v Conservative issue.
Those who avoid paying their fair share put the squeeze on the rest of us come budget time.
As for Banjo equating an ISA with offshore tax-dodging: an ISA is an approved government saving scheme to encourage savers (without them the country is flucked); tax-dodging serves no one other than the subject and her employees. It would be illegal if the government could get its act together, except many of them are implicated by association.

Read the article. The Queen is exempt from tax but pays it voluntarily. The investment was by the Duchy of Lancaster, based upon advice, not by the Queen who would not have known about it.

I thought that may have been a false call BFP, until I saw that Soccerman had mentioned 'Momentum' and 'Marxist' in the previous post!

Yep I would have got a line if he’d said “Steptoe”.

Do a bit of research, check out who the Marxist Liebour party pay the rent to on the London HQ. Find out where the money goes....as usual Labours instruction to the mug supporters are...do as I say, not as I do.....

Well it shouldn't be a party political issue, the whole idea of NOT paying due tax is disgraceful. However you opened with TM and JC comments, you set the scene for a semi-political response, then Mapperley chirped in with the Tory mates thing and on it went.
Tax avoidance,tax breaks, tax relief should all be illegal. You make your money within this country and or from the population of this country (consumers or workers) you should be obliged to pay your due tax into this country. No argument.
