To think it sets a really bad example for the country when the PMs family have tax dodged millions

Just that really…

Im really surprised Sunak actually made it to be prime minister considering the recent stories that have been in the news regarding his family avoiding millions of ££ in tax . I actually thought Boris would have been more likely to have been PM. (Not that he’s any better🤔)

@BMW6
Where have I said she committed an offence, don’t quote me on things I haven’t said?
Your clutching at straws now but I do take offence to being misquoted especially when suggesting it could be libellous.
I suggest you get your facts right before misquoting people on social media.

@feelthebeatfromthetangerine
”The point is, she lives here, the bulk of people who also live here will pay inheritance tax”

That’s not true, and you know that it’s not true, so why post it?

Yes, its your Personal Opinion that is Unjust.

I applied UK tax law to hundreds of thousands of individuals over 30 years. The same to Everyone, whoever they were, rich or poor, whatever their Ethnicity.

I personally disagreed with many of the laws, but applied them without bias. That is Just.

You are not. Your bias is not founded on Law. You are Unjust.

Give it a rest @BMW6 .
@DonnaDonna0 disagrees with you as she is perfectly entitled to do. You need to move on and accept that people's opinions vary.

The laws, after all are set by the very same Rishi Sunak and his colleagues. There is just a tiny bit of self interest going on when they are made. It would be utterly naive to suggest that this isn't the case. They are not moral rights or wrongs necessarily, just what a very powerful group of individuals has decided should be the rule at any given point. See, for example, how quickly Truss's new laws were overturned. A lot of people question these rules. if you don't want to, that is up to you.

@rainingsnoring I don’t disagree with you, I have just questioned some of her actions.

I was saying that you are entitled to disagree with the other poster who keeps going back and forth trying to convince you that you are wrong.

Personally, I think her actions are morally questionable but that wasn't the point I was trying to make.

@rainingsnoring sorry misread the first part. I realise now what you were saying.

But, that's the whole point of having a Government.

We, the public, specifically vote, to give a group of individuals power, to decide what should be the rules, at any given point.

Of course there is self interest when new laws are made, especially with the Tories.
The political parties write huge manifestos explaining what laws they are planning to introduce or change. They wouldn't write anything that doesn't benefit them aswell. That's the whole point.

What do yiu expect

Sorry my post cut off, not sure what happened

What do you expect from the Tories. They whole purpose is to give tax breaks to the wealthy. They tell you that's what they will do.

I just find it odd that people question thier morals, when they specifically tell everyone that is exactly what they are planning on doing.

It's strange to vote for a party knowing who they are and what they will do, but then complain that's its "unfair" when they do exactly what they said they will do.

(NB, I don't mean you specifically, i mean "you" as in the general public)
