I put it out there as a similar situation…people like you using it as an oportunity to gloat and illustrate your type.
Yeah?..I can make a fair assumption about you by your superior attitude on here…that is enough.
You just can’t help yourself can you.
That would be all fine and dandy if you were not so selective in your bitterness disapproval and general bile depending on whether or not you favoured them
For instance I regularly as well as pointing out Starmers incompetence, say I also do not fully trust everything Farage says…where as you are a political one trick pony.
And there it is again.
So we’ll make a judgement when he becomes PM of the Reform govt…and rest assured I will be the FIRST as a Reform voter to criticise him if/when he goes tits up…unlike you I aint a servile political ideals borg.
This from the head of HMRC (at the time ) Jim Harra.
{Jim Harra, chief executive of HMRC, while unable to speak about an individual’s confidential tax affairs, told the Public Accounts Committee that “carelessness is a concept in tax law”; if an “error was as a result of carelessness, then legislation says that a penalty could apply in those circumstances”, but that HMRC would not penalise taxpayers who it was felt had taken reasonable care: “There are no penalties for innocent errors in your tax affairs.”}
From reading the above, I see that carelessness can warrant fines. £5 million tax evasion would have resulted in him doing bird, but don’t let facts get in the way of a good story…..bless .
As you well know there is a difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion, his tax affairs were looked into for tax avoidance but never mind, your wording of tax evasion is sensationalist and incorrect. He was deemed to have been careless with his tax affairs, not evading tax.
It beats me how anyone can make a mistake/careless over £5 million in tax but there you go, the cynic in me thinks differently to what was actually claimed.
Yeah but was he ‘‘privately educated’’ we all know the lefties, (and particularly one on here ) has a BIG problem with that one… politics of envy etc.
And has he ever failed in business …that is worth pointing out (apparentlly) when crearmting a smear campaign for effect, although those who have had the nads to have a go themselves, gailing or otherwise, see it as an advantage rather than a form of ridicule.
Tbh I aint keen on Zahawi…wasn’t he a raving remainer?
I suppose Jenrick was also, but at least he has a pair of balls, and aint afraid to speak the truth on the likes of (lack of) law and order, and disgracefully embarrasing present policies on illegal immigration…aka THE 2 main issues that need prioritising on in the next govt.

Avoidance is as you correctly say not a crime. Nothing wrong with it legally.
Why would tax affairs be investigated for something that is not any sort of offence?
Do you suggest that the tax office looks for things that are not wrong??
Nope. It is accurate.
Yes. Someone fined for being for being careless with his own tax affairs. Another of Farage’s experts in finance.
Nice to find some common ground here. As Francis Urquhart might have said
“You might think that, I couldn’t possibly comment”
Yes the Tax office can investigate anyone at any time.
But are you suggesting that they are sat twiddling their thumbs and start (expensive) investigations into people on a purely random basis? Or will they investigate those who seem to have questions to answer?
Furthermore Zahawi was sacked as Chancellor for not telling the PM that he was under investigation by HMRC. He mislead his boss.
That is hardly “careless” in my book. That again, is the mark of the man.
Has Reeves been “careless” with £5million worth of tax?
Has she lied about being investigated by HMRC?
Has she claimed Tax money to heat her stables?
No, and no, and no.
Starmer did take from a UK tax payer for his specs and clothes. I condemned that at the time.
He has not taken millions from foreign based companies.
You forget to say “all politicians are the same”.
Next we have you say all driving offenders are the same< and that those who park on yellow lines are as bad as drunk killers.
His tax affairs were looked at for tax avoidance, never tax evasion. Putting money into an ISA is at the lower end of tax avoidance, making it prudent to not pay tax on interest earned. The grey areas begin further up the scale, for example aggressive tax avoidance can and does incur interest, penalties and the payment of the tax outstanding but is NOT tax evasion.
Starmer slavering again on the news, stood at a podium surrounded by Union Flags (no Palestine ones btw) …whilst trying his best to look credible, a kind of ‘‘Primark Churchill’’
He’s having a pop at Trump again…(very reservedly btw)
Tarriffs .
Quote Starmer; …‘‘Such measures hurt British Workers, British Businesses, and the British Economy’’.
If that IS anything to do with Trump, it seems they have a lot in common after all.
Quote Starmer; ‘‘My job is always to act in the UK’s national interest’’…
Since when exactly?
Not so much upsetting…I don’t get ‘‘upset’’ about anything.
More gut wrenchingly annoying more amusing.
yeah,…Let’s start with…the infamous chestnut of …
‘I am going to smash the gangs’’
All he’s succeeding in ‘‘Smashing’’ is the record for the amount of freeloaders (posing as refugees) who have rocked up to the 4 star hotels…on his watch.
Surpassed Johnson and Sunak…and counting.
‘‘Smashed’’ the record for the most hated PM not just by ‘‘natural haters’’ either as the likes of whom Maggie attracted, ..but his own target voters, some lifelong, and/or some who voted him in this time.
Yeah he’s on a roll.
But still this pathetic apologist defends him and his pi55 poor politics.
Edit…Class…What a quote to end Part 1 with, it just sums up the whole thread.
From reading the above, I see that carelessness can warrant fines. £5 million tax evasion would have resulted in him doing bird, but don’t let facts get in the way of a good story…..bless
