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.

Lord Hain did everyone a favour
Philip Green is a snake and a slimeball of the first order, and I am ashamed that he is one of my brethren
I thought he was a resident of Monaco, but no matter, for he has passed all his UK assets to his wife, and any dividends get paid to her as well
In this way (and others) Philip Green escapes all the restrictions of only spending 90 days in UK
It would be no more than poetic justice if Philip Green's wife says she's had enough and escapes with all the dosh

Your are harsh on a fellow brethren cynic.
Like Trump you know where you stand with him unlike many other brethren members.
His days of slap and tickel might be over but just like many things of the past, they were par for the course - in the same way as they used the cane at one school I attended,along with the slipper, and a leather belt.
Did it leave some kids with mental scars - Yes I guess it did but so does war.

The slapper on the left is Green’s offspring apparently.

The Country and that includes the last Labour Government could have put a stop to tax avoidence if they wished but have never done so, as it is part and parcel of the system.
Take Jersey hiding beneficicial ownership for example:

All just noise!!
They are just picking on Green - as its payback time and sells papers.
What has TM said about the Saudi killing of Khashoggi - what will the UK do about selling them arms?
It is all noise!!

It is hardly tax avoidance if you live and work outside of the country ala Lewis Hamilton, possibly the best racing driver ever from this country. He has every right to protect what he earns.

So has everyone else, as long as it legal iturama. All this moral stuff and picking on a few only to hide what is in full view. What is good for the Goose is good for the Gander.

stan - you can't visit the sins of the father on his children ..... who are the 4 above?
CT - yes of course it's all noise, and for sure no country whether russia or uk or usa or china or france will cease selling arms to saudi (or anyone else) because of this latest

certainly madoff has no relevance to tax avoidance - or effective evasion by your criteria
anyway, your answer is what to the supplementary question ....... "in your not very humble opinion, is anyone who avoids tax a lowlife?"
