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 are so very funny. Miliband used all the tax avoidance open to him when his father died, amounting to several times that of Cameron. Even the Guardian is owned by an offshore company.
I love to see lefties bleating about some new piece of trivia.

Money money money, from my mummy, it's a rich boys world!
Owing Me, Owing You
I Hid It My Way
Dodging 9 'til 5

Daddy was a tax dodger, but he never hurt nobody, he just loved to live that way - & he loved to steal your money

I will do anything for love…but I won't do VAT
Like a Virgin Isle, taxed for the very first time
Papa don't leech
I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay. Ain't it sad?
You pay it best, when you pay nothing at all
Whats the story thieving Tory?

My money lies over the ocean, my money lies over the sea. My money lies over the ocean, so bring back my money to me

H/S, your fixation with various members of the opposition is an obvious fascination in your world.. Do you collect stamps as well?.

What about your fixation with the Tories?
It is about the politics of envy again. Far better to moan about your neighbour's wealth than work for something of your own.

You confuse fixation with exposing relative right wing extremism.

Another point conceded by the right wing loonies on here.

Again irrelevant as that has not been discussed on here, again you can wriggle all you like.. but no one likes an off-shore social scrounger.

Stan,
I think Haze's father was a dustbin man until he became a refuge collector.
(Before you start, "nothing wrong with a dustbin man.)
Exec,
Jealous of what.
Tell us what you are hiding?

66934 - just an addendum to that post
the last section of the article in ST (the conclusion) got it spot on about certain aspects of muslim culture that should assuredly not be allowed to operate in uk - eg sharia "courts" notwithstanding that they have no legal standing

Nothing against many tories, just irritated by some of the con men they have let into their party and then the party "faithful" to worshiping them.
(And Haze rushing off to Lynton for the latest mantra.)

If you have a pension then you may find that it has investments in offshore trusts.
Luckily we don't have a left wing government as we might end up in a bit of a mess like Cuba, Venezuela and France,

Let us look at Mr Corbyn.
He has said that he would publish his income and tax details but has failed to do so so far.
Lets us look at his wife.
Luxury coffee sold from the home of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is produced by poverty-stricken Mexican farmers, some of whom have earned less than the country’s minimum wage.
Laura Alvarez, the politician’s third wife, runs a business selling organic beans, and boasts that those who make it are paid ‘a fair wage and enjoy good conditions of employment’.
It has been discovered that Café Mam is produced by farmers in Mexico’s poorest state, who earn just 93p for each 500g bag that Ms Alvarez sells for £10.One farmer took home the equivalent of just £260 in a year after paying his workers – a quarter of the regional minimum wage;
A woman gets up at 4am each day to begin her back-breaking work, and wept when she was told how much her coffee is sold for by wealthy Westerners, including Mr Corbyn’s wife;
Itinerant workers are being paid between 80 and 130 pesos – £3.15 to £5.10 – a day to pick coffee;
Workers are living in tiny shacks with their families. They also had to take turns to sleep in their factory to stop thieves stealing the machinery and wrecking their livelihood.

Mother of six Idolina Sanchez Gonzalez, 53, fought back tears as she talked about her back-breaking work as a farm owner in the mountain village of La Victoria. She was paid £1,600 for her coffee last year, £800 of which went to her workers.
She said: ‘I get up at 4am and walk to the farm to start at 6am. I work until 4pm, sometimes later. We are only paid once, so it has to last all year and we have to work other jobs to pay our workers.’
Mam coffee – named after an ancient Mayan community – is grown high in the mountains at altitudes ranging from 3,900ft to 5,570ft above sea level. Once it is harvested the co-op leaders negotiate a deal with its client Royal Blue Organics, in Portland, Oregon.
The price agreed is based on the New York stock exchange, and is topped up to meet Fair Trade standards. Last year that was $176 per 60kg sack, equivalent to farmers earning just 93p for each 500g bag that Ms Alvarez sells for £10.
Farmer Daniel Morales Ortega, 56, said: ‘It’s not fair that this politician’s wife is buying our product and selling it for so much money. We are desperate people. It’s an abuse.’
One tearful farmer urged Mr Corbyn’s wife last night: ‘Please think about us farmers and how we are struggling when people are making so much money off our hard work.’

Haze,
Cameron and crew allowing the shipment immigrants back to Turkey to die.
No comparison Haze.
What has happened to the kids without adult protection in Calais.
The actions of this Tory governments stinks.

Why don't you send the farmer and family a few bob out of the tax avoidance you boasted about?
