    If people don't want to comment. Fair enough.


    Is there a lockdown on here as well Cam?

    Very heavy handed.
    Heavy handed would have been to just delete the thread as yet another one you started without any context or comment. How many times do you have to be asked not to do this? So if you don't trust them, explain why and then people can either agree with, disagree with or no comment.

    Just to give cam some 'context'...google have a history of dubious tax payments

    Latest link suggests they are trying to clean house or have they found another loophole?

    Hence my question.

    Do you trust google.? I don't

    You could of course simply use https://duckduckgo.com/ and you would see exactly the same results as I do. But then there'd be no faux conspiracy theory for you to attempt to "stimulate debate" about.

    Not sure where the exaggeration is? Just take a look back at the number of times you start threads or post links with no comment or narrative from yourself. You'd be surprised. I suppose I could disable your ability to post links but that would be like cutting off your arms.

    I used to quite value idiot's contributions but he's now become a caricature of himself. How anyone can believe his OP related to taxes is beyond me. But then again who really cares; there are so many agendas displayed on MM that the only sensible thing is to go with the flow.
