And when a tory supporter avoids tax then it is exactly what you can expect from a tory as you never hear a tory banging on about tax the rich.
tax avoidance is legal

tax evasion is illegal
And you point is what exactly?

the constant whinging of the left about tax avoidance is rather inaccurate, especially given the hypocrisy of the Trades union movement , it's another Labour style over substance crowd pleaser ...

or are they going to have another raid on pension funds ?
limit the tax reliefs that the TUs encourage people to claim ( and even quite modestly paid jobs can claim hundreds in tax relief ... registration fees, union subs, journals, home laundry of work wear, hosiery and footwear )
raid ISAs etc ?

that's all 'tax avoidance' as well

And?

It is the labour party that bang on about it

So when they have their supporters are caught doing something typically tory we can point and laugh

If they were proper socialists, they'd be like former president of Uruguay Jose Mujica.

This was the guy who donated 90% of his salary to charities (leaving him and his wife £750 a month) and didn't move to the presidential palace, preferring to stay at his smallholding with his dog that only has three legs. Here's a picture.



That's what socialism is supposed to look like. Not posing in your second kitchen because you're ashamed of how nice the main one is.
Abso-fking-lutely. THIS is a man who practices what he preaches.

The champagne socialists we have in this country are akin to US TV evangelists; "Do as we say, not as we do."

This had me laughing out loud smile

And as for Ed Balls I honestly think Keith Lemon would do a better job.

Even when he's riding to save the NHS.



And then there's this which is destined to outlast his career.

I can't stand his fake/coached sincerity that he uses in his speeches. He's got a fake stutter too.

When he begins a sentence like "I firmly believe that what this country needs is bla bla....", he deliberately stutters the "I" to make himself sound like he's in a genuine intellectual rush to tell you something vital and relevant.

He uses it on PMQs too.

Gotta feel for the solid third of this country's voting population who think that that pr*ck and his sidekick will be good for this country.
