While the lefties here turn a blind eye to what their own are doing and are happy to rant about what the rest of us do in that department.....damn right I do!

Nothing other than they should have paid what's due and that I hope a lot of the loopholes are closed.

Yeeees.......but don't you think that you are letting your left wing brethren off the hook just a little easily? Shouldn't you be railing against their hypocritical 'cheating' ways a little more vigorously?

To me they are just as bad as any one else doing it, a pox on all their houses imo and no I don't think I should be railing more vigorously against anyone in particular as I don't recall every bringing anyones political persuasion into this particular debate (or any others ones for that matter), I hope they all come a cropper.

Excellent. Thanks for saying that on record
Now, any other lefties want to come on and denounce their leaders?

Re: Pay frozen for third year running

"he's doing it, so i'm doing it" that's the attitude and that's why nothing gets done about it .These aren't new loopholes that have been discovered they have been used for years throughout progressive governments and none have been willing to sort it out and despite the current governments strong words i doubt anything will change any time soon

True, the thing on the side for change is how tough it is out there for most people at the moment, if we don't get it changed for the better of the many rather than the very few now we never will.

Re: Pay frozen for third year running

I know that this is too much to hope for but I really would like to see our left wing contingent ease off the anti tax avoidance rhetoric. Doesn't the fact that your esteemed leaders are avoiding tax give you pause for thought? Perhaps tax avoidance isn't all that bad? Perhaps the fact that it's legal (till the tax man decides bits of it aren't) and the labour bigwigs indulge in it means that you should stop frothing at the mouth about it?

Ermm, as far as I can tell you're the only one banging on about it. I certainly am not going to rise to the occasion to say what Mr. Ramrod thinks persons left of centre should be saying. Talk about a straw man... Oh, and I'd hardly call these chaps my 'leaders'. I hate Labour. Bloody fascists

I don't think I'm setting up a straw man (sorry if I am).
I'm merely asking those who have been frothing at the mouth about tax avoidance in this thread to comment on their own hypocritical leaders tax avoidance strategies.....

Well, the way it came across was as if all lefties were foaming at the mouth over tax evasion (which was the perceived straw man), and they should therefore comment on these cases. Asking those who did to comment is very different from what you appear to be asking:

Indeed it is (sorry for that).......but in light of the rabid left wing tax avoidance=tax evasion rants in this thread, what's wrong with my requests (that you have nicely summarised above)?

To be fair i assumed that the question was aimed at our resident left wing fantasist who could have won a Olympic medal yesterday with the speed of back peddling he did when it was pointed out that his Gods (AKA union leaders) where as wealthy and as bent in their tax affairs as some of the present government .....i think he's still licking his wounds
