Good story, but I wonder how many of PH's powerfully built directors employ their wives to make use of their tax allowances...
Maybe they do, but how many of them have also said:-“These rich b------- just don’t get it… No one should be allowed to vote in a British election, let alone sit in Parliament, unless they pay their full share of tax."?
What? Leftie in trying to keep lots of money and not give it away to the rest of the people shock!?!?!?
Surely not. Next you'll be telling me that Tony Blair and Gordon Brown haven't given away all their immoral earnings to the state to divide up and spread the wealth. You know the wealth, it's the stuff they were trying to take away from everyone else...

The Blairs house, blood money buys some fine property these days for 'men of the people'.
NuLabour, shafting the working man since 1997, and getting their snouts in the trough before anyone else.

Do you understand the basis of hypocrisy?
Yes I do, thanks. I can't stand the hypocritical little toad, my point is that we all do our best to avoid tax and there is a very fuzzy line between what is legally and morally acceptable.That article was also not strictly accurate as it makes out that he has avoided income tax buy leaving cash in his business when in fact he has just put off paying the tax till a later date.

Idiots will still vote for him though, that's the most depressing thing about it all.
In fact why do people vote for any of em anymore?
I wonder how many of ken's votes are genuine, though. Who normally votes for him - people who supposedly live with 16 others in a one-bed flat? I suspect vote rigging is rife.In fact why do people vote for any of em anymore?
He's the man who said
The Routemaster wouldn't be scrapped and would go on another 17 years to be replaced by a bus built "by Londoners for Londoners", then scrapped the routemaster and bought bendy buses. When it became clear that this was a mistake he fudged it by saying the bendy buses were "just a trial" - yes 600 buses for many years is a big trial, I wonder what a roll out would be.
He also said anyone who worked for the Evening Standard, which had a long history of being a fascist newspaper was themselves a fascist. Ignoring the fact that for many years he was a restaurant reviewer for the Standard.
When he called a Jewish Standard reporter a Nazi he claimed than he did so in his spare time and was not speaking as the mayor, but when I asked him if he took time out of his holiday allowance to attend the inquest for bringing his office into disrepute he said he never had time off, he was always the mayor, even when he was digging the garden.
He said he would never stand as an independent against a Labour candidate. And then he did.
There are many times where his justification for a policy change is that he "changed his mind".
In that video he says "Let me think about that", Why? For that programme all questions were submitted in writing before.
There is nothing he likes more than a really good fight, particularly against the rich. He said of some rich people "No-one gets to be that rich without being a criminal".
I would love to see a debate between him and working class, Labour Peer, Lord Sugar.

I'm no fan of Red Ken but I don't think you're right. A lot of Londoners actually like him.
