Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

You guys seriously believe everything you read... The storey on food aka the super foods and bad stuff changes on a daily basis, who knows what to believe as the so called experts can't even agree... As for tax dodgers, give it a few weeks, we all know HMRC is under staffed, I except a deal will be done, a little slap on the wrists and an affordable fine will see the end of this one..

so the fact that Scheme B, which is totally legal and above board and non-aggressive but is only worthwhile if you happen to have decent amount of dosh, should be disallowed?
if so, on what basis?
politics of jealousy perhaps?

are you saying you should not be allowed to pass assets to your spouse or children to avoid IHT?
if so, on what basis?
politics of jealousy perhaps?

The letters have already gone out. The bills are in the hands of the scumsters with a warning notice if not paid on time they could face crimminal charges.

A lot have already paid up.

Politics of fairness and responsibility Cynic, something you clearly dont understand, mind having come from a public school boy background I can quite understand your predicament.

shortie - in this instance you're wrong i'm sure ..... from the little i have read, Eclipse 35 is just one of many pretty aggressive schemes that will almost certainly be attacked

shame HMRC are not so eager to pursue some of the individuals who have some very dodgy assets or similar abroad, or manage very substantial uk-based business empires from off-shore and similar
sticky is far more au fait with the wheezes that me

I'm sure they have Goldfinger and I'm sure they also took advantage of an early settlement discount....

ah well sticky, in your jaundiced opinion, anyone who plays golf has to be a snooty, over-stuffed plutocrat
what a total pratt you are at times


i must confess, if the views you so often express on this site are reflected in your business life, i'm sure glad i don't use your company for balanced professional advice

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

you can always tell when Cynic as lost the debate as usual he reverts to personal attacks.

post 44125 was not a personal attack?? .... or is it that you feel you have lost the debate?


and are you saying my view in the subsequent post was unfair to you?
certainly your preposterous, blinkered "pit pony" views of people who play golf or have had private education have been well-aired all too frequently on this site

Lord Ashcroft: Labour’s lead rises in this week’s Ashcroft National Poll

Last updated: July 21, 2014 at 3:58 pm

Labour’s lead has risen to eight points in this week’s Ashcroft National Poll, conducted over the past weekend. The widening margin, following a similar shift in the Populus poll published this morning, stems mainly from a five-point fall in the Conservative share to 27%. Other movements are within the margin of error: Labour are 35%, the Lib Dems unchanged at 7%, UKIP up three to 17%, and the Greens up one point to 7%

POPULUS POLL 21, July, 2014

Lab 37%

Con 32%

Lib/Dem 9%

Ukip 13%

Other 9%

Tories falling further back again.

This tax dodging issue as really got the public against them.

Just wait till the peado issue gets going in the next few weeks.

Will someone please ask GF if he has his wife on the payroll.

If so, why and what does she do?

Doc,

I would've thought his wife's so fed up with him, that I doubt he has her anywhere, least of all on the payroll!

:o)

"This tax dodging issue as really got the public against them"

what absolute twaddle you talk, and not only because there's sure to be a good % of labour supporters caught up too ..... just as in this paedophile enquiry


btw, i note you quickly ducked 44130

Class War 2014: The Rich Kids of Snapchat
Posted on July 19, 2014 by David Hencke



If ever David Cameron’s claim that we are all in it together needed to be proved false, look at a site on Facebook called the Rich Kids of Snapchat.

Set up by a 17 year old British public schoolboy and liked by 244,000 people this site celebrates the life style of the super rich public schoolboys – the new generation expecting to run Britain in a decade or so.

Far from having any concern for the rest of us, this ” fun ” site worships money, fast cars, Gucci, luxury yachts and private jets,champagne and has an unhealthy interest in guns.

It is virtually the calling card of the new ” Bullingdon Club ” and the kids know they are the new ” boss class ” – the future generation of Tory Cabinet ministers, entrepreneurs and flashy businessmen and bankers. And some will have the vote in next year’s election,

Among the fun pictures are kids using £50 notes as toilet paper, £20 notes for tablecloths, handling guns to protect their estates from the ” peasants”, and commuting from home to public school by private helicopters or showing they have a £10m private bank account at Coutts.

Not surprisingly this has produced a reaction across the net with people calling for the site to be taken down, and a spate of hostile comments – sometimes producing ripostes like warning people to shut up as they will be their boss in future life.

More seriously as the Inforrm blog reveals these antics have posed problems for the more mature seriously rich parents who wish to hide their opulent life styles from the rest of us and pretend “we are all in it together”.

As the Inforrm blog says : ” The consequences could be very serious for those wealthy teens, and their families, where potentially inflammatory images appear which include identifying information such as faces, car registrations and locations.

One 19 year old, who frequently posted about his lavish lifestyle and who was featured on Tumblr site “Rich Kids on Instagram”, has already run into trouble, having had several luxury cars from his father’s rental business subsequently set alight by vandals, causing over £500,000 worth of damage to his father’s business.

Another featured ‘rich kid’ was Alexa Dell, daughter of Dell Inc. CEO Michael Dell, who posted an image of her brother tucking into a feast onboard a private jet, bound for Fiji. She also used her Twitter account to regularly post details of her location, complete with GPS location tagging- somewhat undermining the annual US$2.7 million her father reportedly spends on family security. Upon discovering this, Alexa’s account was removed and her image has been taken down.”

The blog rightly points out that in an era of unemployment and poverty where ceo’s have made people redundant this can be inflammatory.

It rightly adds:” a teen bragging about the lavish lifestyle of his or her CEO parent who has recently made redundancies or been the recipient of a sizeable bonus can easily catch the eye of a journalist on the hunt for a story – as can any images posted by a naive child who has a parent in the public eye. “

But to me the whole site seems symptomatic of a yawning divide opening up in the UK and the last thing I would want to see is it taken down. Such antics provide the perfect foil to attack the wealthy Lynton Crosby and the image he wants the Tories to present to the electorate of the ruling class in the next election. Spoilt brats revealing themselves for what they really are!

Meanwhile in true entrepreneurial fashion the site is up for sale by its 17 year old owner. He has been offered $150,000 by an American but might let it go for a mere $40,000 to a Brit with spare cash from his pocket money.

Spoilt brats revealing themselves for what they really are!

Does it matter what people do at university?

The young Ed Balls attended the private Nottingham High School (current fees £3358 per term.)

Perhaps that is why, when he got to Oxford, Ed joined an all-male drinking club called the Steamers. He recently suffered embarrassment when a photograph from the period surfaced in the newspapers. It showed him dressed in a German officer's uniform and staring at the crotch of a fellow student wearing comedy plastic buttocks.

Spoilt brats revealing themselves for what they really are!

Ive posted that photo up on Twitter with the text underneath, you should see the number of people who have taken issue with it.

People dont want these brats ruling them in future years.

Im going to save it aswel and use it at GE time.
