darrenm Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Everyone's calling for Johnson and Patel to be sacked but May's nowhere to be seen. Just hiding away. May is basically squatting in no.10 refusing to come out. Surely a vote of no confidence isn't too far away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine the outcry from the press if people on the dole started investing their money offshore Anybody CAN invest their money offshore, and if you're in any sort of large-ish workplace pension, chances are you probably have indirectly. The key to it obviously, is not where it's invested, it's how the returns are taxed. From what I've read, the Queen has paid the tax on the returns from the investment, so where's the problem?

Did you not see Margaret Hodge on the BBC yesterday? Investing overseas is like money laundering and money laundering is what criminals do. Ergo, Her Madge is acting just like a criminal!

Quite how Margaret Hodge has the sheer cheek to be interviewed on these sorts of programmes has to be admired in a perverse sort of way. What with her completely non-tax avoiding family trust, set up for non-tax avoidance purposes, and her family steel company, which absolutely doesn't have a lot of companies in low tax jurisdictions set up for non tax avoidance purposes.

Ah now, you're being unfair on the poor woman. When she found out that's what her father had done, she was mortified and immediately took steps to remedy the issue.

It’s not just her defence he’s harmed, he’s got her charged with another offence, literally because he opened his mouth and spouted bollocks. She’s looking at another 5 years in Iranian jail.and the only evidence the Iranians have is what Boris said The Iranians told you this did they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 7, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2017 An Urgent Question has been granted on Patel's holiday meetings. Alongside Brexit impact studies and Yemen.

Our society makes me sick at times, this has been particularly true this week. But still, the Queen opts to pay a bit of tax, she doesn’t have too, so doesn’t matter if she dodged a bit or Bono saviour of the sick and needy, doesn’t matter. Screw the poor, cold and hungry, let them eat cake. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking the whataboutery piss, fortunately. We don't do much treat the vulnerable in many cases as passively let them coast to their destination, be that more suffering or death. Because of years of stupid governments and tabloids playing up the people taking the piss. Brilliantly this week has revealed yet again that that will take the piss exist at all levels of society. Some are seemingly more acceptable though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
