There is only one thing worse than ‘A Socialist’ it’s a ‘Champagne Socialist’

The problem is if you have the money you can avoid paying tax. The worst thing is they have not done anything illegal. So why shouldn’t they if the system allows it !- she was the brains of the pair !

I had thought this or a similar seeming method was long made "illegal"? By George Osborne when  he was Chancellor of the Exchequer?

Buying a company for £XXX to avoid paying Stamp Duty as that company owned a house worth £YYY and in buying the company you also got the house as it was owned by that company you'd just purchased? And that the cahnge was made some time ago?

This:

Money's too tight to mansion...

As was widely expected, George Osborne announced measures in the 2012 Budget that will affect those owning high-value homes (worth £2 million or more). The changes focus on introducing new and increased rates of Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) and also on preventing avoidance of SDLT by putting homes into off-shore corporate envelopes. The SDLT changes may help fund some tax cuts, and address what Mr Osborne referred to as morally repugnant aggressive tax avoidance.

 

Or as the press put it:

Hello, not forgetting their country house in Buckinghamshire , Wealthy Socialist are much like Conservatives  never care about the working class even less the unemployed and low payed now loosing £20 a week benefit 

Sadly old bean, it matters not what colour politico, they are mostiy all avaricious to the same degree?

Unfailingly taking from others of lesser circumstance? Because they can?

Sickening really to live in a country so misshapen that people in employment can't afford to pay their basic bills and buy food?

Something is seriously wrong?

Tin hat on and not giving a fig about contrary opinion.

all perfectly legal and above board, and no different to what many others have done in all probability

The thing is, it's against the spirit of the law and the purpose it was intended for. One can only assume, it's a loop hole left open on purpose so the big boys club can keep the trough overflowing.

On the subject of Blair.

Last week, during the Labour party conference, our good friends, the BBC were criticised for not mentioning some Gov't policies re various ongoing issues and replied it was because "during party political conferences - we try not to broadcast party issues relating to the non-conferencing parties"

This week, during the Tory party conference, what do we have on day one in the prime BBC slot at 21:00 on BBC 2 - "Blair and Brown: The New Labour Revolution"

Very true. Power corrupts, but he didn’t have the greatest morals to begin with.
