TAX EVASION IS THEFT!!

The trouble is we’ve become used to this amazing level of Sleaze and Corruption. It’s become the norm. They have been creaming off billions for so long that we’re used to it!

Millions for greedy tories but not a penny for nurses, ambulance drivers, teachers, civil servants or the poor. The greed is out of control.

How about levelling up?? Give us all £5 million!!

Excerpt from Guardian, Polly Toynbee today.

“The past few days have provided ample reminders of what happens when the very rich take control. The stench emanating from this government reprises John Major’s last days of “sleaze”. But the sums of money back then look paltry compared to the extraordinary finances of the multimillionaires who now fill the Tory benches.

Nadhim Zahawi’s mysterious “error” in failing to pay capital gains tax landed him with a walloping 30% penalty; he agreed to repay an estimated £5m reportedly while chancellor, collecting everyone else’s taxes. No normal citizen could be “careless” about such a sum, so it’s time for Rishi Sunak to come clean about exactly what he knew about Zahawi’s tax affairs when appointing him party chair. Zahawi had been nominated for a gong in the new year honours list, but following the usual due diligence, his name did not appear, reports the Sun on Sunday.

Many will remember his startling expenses claim 10 years ago, when he was obliged to pay back money wrongly claimed for heating his horses’ stables. He declared himself “mortified” at that “error” concerning a £5,000 bill, so presumably he feels a thousand times more mortified over an error a thousand times greater. Since he claims that HMRC called his tax non-payments “careless and not deliberate”, let’s see the correspondence – as there was nothing “careless” about his multiple legal threats to Dan Neidle of Tax Policy Associates, who investigated his tax affairs.”

(I must say Dan Neidle is a pretty odd looking bloke!)Zahawi, Sunak, Johnson: this is rule by plutocrat. It’s like a stench that’s worse each day | Polly Toynbee | The Guardian
