Corbyn Makes An Arse Of Himself Again - Tax Dodging

The man seems to have a penchant for making a complete fool of himself and failing to do research and assess the facts.

He previously made a complete t*at of himself by trying to use a primary school in Telford to make political points about Tory cuts and was then slapped into place by the head teacher who said that actually their school funding has increased under the Tories.

This time old Compo, "Jezbollah" Corbyn has tried to single out tax dodgers because he obviously thinks that will garner votes from the poorer in society. With the so-called "Paradise Papers" he has decried the wealthy who avoid British taxation by using offshore tax havens saying that the shortfall created has to be picked up by UK tax payers. He spouted all the predictable rhetoric about taxes being good and something we should also take responsibility for because it funds our services, hospitals, buses etc etc.

And then it turns out that the Looney Labour Party rent their London headquarters – the eighth floor, the south side development, on Victoria street, paying around £1m a year for the rent, paying it to a trust based in Jersey run by Schroder Property Managers, Jersey limited.

i.e. They are avoiding tax !

A spokesman for the Labour Party said it gained "no benefit as a result of the financial arrangements of the building owner" and it remains "committed to changing the current tax environment and to tackling tax avoidance".


What a complete and utter bunch of witless morons the Looney Labour Party is !

How could they ever run a country ?!

Simple answer to that....they couldn't .

Re: Corbyn Makes An Arse Of Himself Again - Tax Dodging

Well at least he's not having secret talks with other governments that both the prime minister and the foreign office knew nothing about or caused a British women to spend extra 5 years I an Iranian jail. That's some claim to fame for the tories today.

It turns out that quite a few MPs of all colours are using Jersey for their tax-avoidance schemes even arch pinko Leftie John McDOnnell has his pension fund invested in off-shore accounts.

The parliamentary pension fund’s annual report for 2015-16 lists three big US tech companies among its 20 biggest individual shareholdings. It has invested £2.5m in Google, £1.9m in Apple and another £1.9m in Amazon. All three tech giants have repeatedly been criticised by British politicians for their tax structures. A Commons spokesman said the Parliamentary Contributory Pension Fund was “like many pension funds” invested in property vehicles in various jurisdictions. “Some funds are domiciled offshore to enable investors from different countries to invest in the same fund, and also to prevent double taxation,” he said. “Investors in these funds are responsible for paying any tax owed arising from either income or capital gains in the usual fashion, unless they are held within a pension fund or another lawful tax-exempt structure.” Last year Theresa May called for a national conversation on tax, saying: “It doesn’t matter to me whether you’re Amazon, Google or Starbucks: you have a duty to put something back, you have a debt to your fellow citizens, you have a responsibility to pay your taxes . . . I will crack down on individual and corporate tax avoidance and evasion.” Other investments by the MPs’ pension fund include £5.6m in tobacco group BAT and £5.6m in BP, the oil company, as well as £5m in fellow oil company Royal Dutch Shell. Deborah Arnott, chief executive of ASH, the anti-tobacco group, said MPs would be “disturbed” to see that their pension fund was investing in an industry that “causes so much preventable illness and misery”. The fund started listing its biggest 20 holdings only after a campaign led by Caroline Lucas, leader of the Green party, along with ShareAction, Client Earth and the Divest Parliament campaign. Ms Lucas, backed by Labour’s Ed Miliband and Barry Gardiner, has primarily sought to make the fund end its investment in fossil fuels — so far unsuccessfully. Ms Lucas said on Tuesday that the pension scheme was “not fit for purpose”. “MPs should be leading the way when it comes to transparency and ethical behaviour, yet the opaque nature of our pension scheme means that efforts at cleaning up our investments are frustrated at every turn,” she said. “Pension power can be put to good use, but not if the trustees of schemes run closed shops and refuse to engage with the beneficiaries.” John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, called on Monday for a full public inquiry into tax avoidance and evasion both “on and offshore”. “Please understand the public anger and consternation at the scale of tax avoidance revealed yet again today,” he said. A Labour spokesperson said Mr McDonnell is in the pension scheme. A spokesperson declined to say on Monday whether Mr Corbyn is in the scheme."

A total set of hypocrites, every man jack of them.

Lets face it.

Whichever way you go, it's the lesser of two evils.
None of them are worth a carrot imo...

Re: Corbyn Makes An Arse Of Himself Again - Tax Dodging

That's a point I've been trying to convince our two prolific thread starters fender, they are all bad as each other.

Re: Corbyn Makes An Arse Of Himself Again - Tax Dodging

If we were to believe the Tory fanboys and True Believers who worship at the altar of Neoliberalism, Labour can only be a disaster in running the country, despite historical evidence, not filtered through the sieve of Rightish prejudice, to the contrary.
We currently have what is undoubtedly the worst government I have suffered in my lifetime with no real signs of any change to the better. Their only chance of winning the next election will be the most negative, gutter dwelling travesty of an honest election campaign in history, in the hope enough voters can be scared/conned into voting Tory again.
In other words, the fanboys are promising nothing but more and more misery for all but a very select few and, for some godforsaken reason, they seem to be welcoming the is worst of all possible Worlds. Bizarre and I bet they call themselves patriots!

Re: Corbyn Makes An Arse Of Himself Again - Tax Dodging

Re: Corbyn Makes An Arse Of Himself Again - Tax Dodging

Wow, just laughable.

BLiar took the country to war in the Middle East totally illegally, following the orders of his puppet masters.

Brown bankrupted the country through his unchecked out of control spending and sold the UK's gold stocks to foreign interests for an absolute pittance. Treason imo.

Every time Looney Labour get in power they screw up the country royally until the populous has had enough and vote the Tories back in. The Tories then have to shovel the sh*t left behind from the socialist lunatics who couldn't run a lemonade stall much less a country !

Round and round it goes. Labour screws it all up, Tories piece it back together, country doesn't like the cuts backs and austerity, vote Loonies back in, Loonies screw it all up again . . . . ad nauseum.



NEVER AGAIN !

I am no fool. I know the "2-party politics" system is an illusion of choice, a sham democracy, operated and run by the Common Purpose stooges who have infiltrated every facet of society.

Any vote for Looney Labour or Tories is a vote for the EU, a vote for Common Purpose who use stealth, skulduggery and corruption for their ends.

Regardless, a vote for the Britain hating "Jezbollah" Corbyn would pretty much be a vote for national suicide, a vote to end Britain, to usher in millions upon millions of foreigners until every native Brit here is a minority in their own country.
Comrade Corbyn is a sock puppet, and a pathetic one at that. He will sell his grandparents if it gets him votes, he will say anything if he thinks it will get him votes. He will bow down to the EU puppet masters and instigate whatever it takes to scupper BrExit so he can get the vote of Remainers.
Watch him go and support a 2nd Referendum.

The man is unelectable

His party is unfit to govern.

Simple as.
