How did it come to this? We are all holding back the tears and asking could it be magic? Or is tax dodging just the Mancunian way?
Yes but David Cameron isn't going to let his buddy do that now is he?? I feel it was totally wrong to publicly name Jimmy Carr yet protect someone else doing the same thing. Shows how much he can be trusted...Joey wrote:Enemy of the state.
Barlow should be punished accordingly, starting by returning his OBE.
Quite right, we're now stuck with a bunch of politicians who priorities are getting re-elected and playing the politics game.ctfc-fan wrote:Yes but David Cameron isn't going to let his buddy do that now is he??

You are of course absolutely right, but unfortunately that is the way Britain operates; with one rule for the mega-rich and one rule for the rest. But that is what our politicians/media/financiers serve to do - the Government pulls a similar con on us every day.
"Over the past year, the share of national post-tax income of the top 1% of taxpayers – just 300,000 people – has risen from 8.2% in 2012-13 to 9.8 % in 2013-14. Over the same period, the bottom 90% – a total of 27 million taxpayers – have seen their share of post-tax income fall from 71.3% to 70.4%, according to estimates contained in the latest Income Tax Liabilities Statistics published by HMRC. They cover the year when GDP growth returned and the top rate of income tax on earnings above £150,000 was reduced from 50% to 45%."
