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.

as i wrote on ftse thread, that + greece + GE is exactly why it will be dangerous to have much money long for the coming months

Don't try and change the subject Alf, just watch the programme.

i'm more interested in trying to make some money on the stock market ... i may or may not watch depending on what Beloved is doing

meanwhile for all you champagne and pretend socialists, you may like to enlighten yourselves a little (fat chance) by going to http://www.desborough.org.uk/Radley-College

fyi, desborough used to be a top class grammar school that slowly sunk to becoming a low grade comprehensive "in need of improvment" ..... this is what eventually happened

A link that works c, I'm surprised at you!


http://www.desborough.org.uk/Radley-College

how did you do that?

the other side of story is in the latest radley magazine, but i can't believe that that that is on line though it's a shame as you'ld then have the fully rounded package

Did you actually read the guff c?

press the link button , fourth button along just above the posting space, looks like a link, stuff the address in there and press the post button

i certainly read the whole of the radley mag article, and very interesting it was too, though i doubt the pretend socialists on the site will have the remotest inclination to read let alone form an objective view

Ah, you must have speed read it, cos it's full of mistakes, c- at best for engrish.

i didn't read the desborough one, which is what i guess you're referring to ..... the radley bulletin is published on line, but the one that has just been issued is not there yet

==============

i'm obviously blind or thick or both, but i spotted no grammatical howlers at least on the desborough home page of that link

panorama
rivetting, and to my mind it is HMRC who have a lot of questions to answer as well as the directors of HSBC

21:00 now so off to watch broadchurch

the last straw Cameron bringing over LOVE THE MAN OBAMA USED we do not want a yank telling us our to vote the man is a racist .

do not vote for the con party of liars vote ukip

has for tax avoidance it is the person who is trying to avoid that is the criminal and those should be the ones charged . this gov have given the hedge funds to avoid stamp duty its stinks of corruption then given 47m to the con party
the CPS SHOULD ACT ITS CORRUPTION
BUT WE KNOW THAT MPs are above the law and the cps will never investigate the gov for insider dealing or the fca never gov ministers insider deal all the time on their budget info no action taken

HMRC + Switzerland
i certainly recollect that there was an amnesty for those who had been rumbled to come clean and to pay up + penalties and thus avoid legal prosecution - a very time consuming and expensive process

however, there looked to be some hundreds of millions secreted away by uk residents, so it is inconceivable to me that £135m was all the tax that was owed + penalties

that being so, it is absolutely outrageous given that if you are but a day late with a tax return, there is an automatic and immediately levied fine of £100/150, regardless of whether or not you owe any tax .... easy money of course, like speed cameras

===================

HSBC officers
there were most assuredly a number of senior officers who knowingly allowed and aided secret accounts to be set up, and worse

surely, at the very least this is conspiracy to defraud, so how come there are no publicised moves whatsoever to prosecute a single one of them?

a single party political cover up?
give it a break! .... this sort of stuff has been going on for a very long time indeed, but it sure does make the establishment in general stink

Cynic,

Hang on about this tax business.

But, but, but, where does Cameron get his donations for the party slush fund, if he clamps down in the European isles of Swizzle Astria, Luxemburga and the Cayman isles.

Imagine some of his friends being put behind bars. Imagine what they may say,

I wonder if the dossier will be lost!

the pavlovian response from fred :-)

fred the con party would for warn the donors they will never be caught they have the likes of Osborne to cover their exit

Manuel,

Saved my skin a number of times and I can recognise ---- when I see smell it.


This government is a sleazy government and led by sleazy individuals.
