Labour isn't Working - Thread 37

[NoWordForFluffy]

In Nuthatch's absence, I've been asked to start the new thread!

A chat thread for those of us who don't like this Labour government.

"Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Previous thread: www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/5548208-labour-isnt-working-thread-36?page=1

Exactly. How about he stands up at the BAFTAs and says we’re not paying enough tax, pls fill out the donation to HMRC that we’ve left on your seats.

That’s it, no other virtue signalling about how us proles need to put up with what they don’t.

Do the same at the Oscars. Mark Ruffalo could lead it.

Or just all sign over massive cheques now, we won’t say no. HMRC won’t say no.

Haha, and pigs might fly. They absolutely could do this, but won't. They wouldn't be millionaires if they practiced what they preach instead of virtue signalling for clicks.

Same how they never have the space to house migrants themselves. I can't take them seriously.

It really is rage inducing. We get you awful people you must house them nearby, we’re ok we’ve got gated multi million homes, it’s fine.

Now this. Well just transfer the money you virtue signalling chumps. No one is stopping you. A letter? Come on.

Yep, same old.

It's why I never donate to or watch children in need. Just f off

Most of the front pages covering the early release scheme this morning. Heartbreaking to read about PC Harper again.
Yet Mahmood and Streeting laugh and joke about this?

Just read elsewhere that he took HMRC to court for overcharging him tax? 😂

Haha what? Of course

Checked here it is

Yes, Gary Lineker and his former wife Danielle Bux (trading as Gary Lineker Media) took HMRC to the First-tier Tax Tribunal over a £4.9 million IR35 tax dispute. Lineker won the initial tribunal ruling in March 2023. While HMRC later appealed to the Upper Tribunal, the ongoing legal battle was resolved via a confidential out-of-court settlement in December 2024.

TBH I’m not terribly bothered about the Streeting and Mahmood joking. We all should be able to speak and joke freely in private. They just didn’t realise they were on mic.

I’m damn sure all politicians - like the rest of us - laugh and poke fun at colleagues and, especially, bosses.

That’s fucking hilarious!

I bet my pondering about whether accountants are used to minimise the rich left’s taxes is answered with a universal ‘yes, they all do it’.

So funny. How many signing that letter instructions their accountant to minimise tax. All I reckon.

Oh thats brilliant 🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely 🎯

I keep laughing over it. I mean wtf, how can someone be so disassociated?
Fighting against paying tax whilst signing love me more (but no way to actually paying a penny more) letters.

@DenizenOfAisleOfShame the main instigator is yes you’ve guessed it Dale Vince plus Stephen kinsela whose son was at prestigious prep with mine I told both of them you can pay more tax you idiots

There was also this re Linekar and tax

His hypocrisy makes me sick.

Geez he’s all tax paying heart isn’t he

What a surprise - not!

Please tell me you told them that to their faces? 🙏
That would make my day 😂

Fucking hell. The man is an expert tax dodger ffs 😂

🤣🤣

Exaclty and i suppose they tell their accountants not to use any tax breaks or loop holes !!

It's hypocrasy and stupidity isn't it , before making these grand pronouncemnets surely one would think to make sure ones slate was clean

I agree with this. Dark humour gets me through a lot

Ridiculous. I suppose they feel untouchable because they are. Gated mansion mentality.

We'll have to agree to disagree on the laughing. I think it was appalling behaviour when women are being put in danger by this policy.
