Don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out

UnquietDad · 04/10/2009 11:33

I wonder if she speaks French?

Good. Fuck off then.

UnquietDad · 04/10/2009 11:37

I can't believe she is complaining about having to pay tax when she sells her ridiculous "art" at such exorbitant prices.

Yes, it's only for incomes over £150k that the higher tax rate she's talking about applies. Oh, boo fucking hoo, you won't be able to buy food? Or pay your bills? Oh, you will? Well, excuse me if I just wring out my handkerchief Tracey!

MortBlackCatResident · 04/10/2009 11:43

No TAFKA - keep your snot on your handkerchief and put it in the Tate...

Had half an ear listening to the Andrew Marr programme and Polly Toynbee said that it will cost her a lot more (can't remember the name of the tax)when it comes to sell her art in France.

ilovesprouts · 04/10/2009 11:45

see ya then ,

janeite · 04/10/2009 11:49

Bye then Trace. God, I can't stand her.

mumblechum · 04/10/2009 12:20

The 50p thing only applies to income over and above the £150k threshold.

I can't stand TE simply because she has such a weird smug face.

Bucharest · 04/10/2009 12:21

Oh god, she's not coming here, is she?

donnie · 04/10/2009 14:18

good riddance. Silly bint - like she's such an integral part of the UK's artistic canon anyway.

Maybe she can shack up with Lewis Hamilton or Sean Connery - or Bono, isn't he a tax grasping git as well? like he really needs the cash.

belgo · 04/10/2009 14:21

God don't let her move to Belgium - 55% tax is normal here for even relatively low paid jobs!

MirandaBailey · 04/10/2009 14:25

From the Sunday Times:

"She joins a threatened exodus by celebrities, footballers and hedge fund bosses in search of less onerous tax regimes."

Anyone care to join me in a mexican wave?

donnie · 04/10/2009 14:51

oh excellent news about footballers - I do wish they'd all bugger orf.

HerBeatitude · 04/10/2009 14:57

LOL, the French are welcome to her.

They really understand art there. She's wasted here.

pofacedandproud · 04/10/2009 14:58

I thought the French had high taxes? God she sounds up herself.

pofacedandproud · 04/10/2009 14:59

I agree with this bit though

"We should never have got involved in either Iraq or Afghanistan. Nor should we have bid for the Olympics, which we've now got and cannot afford,"

donnie · 04/10/2009 14:59

she'd certainly keep the wine merchants in business.

Meglet · 04/10/2009 15:00

I like Tracey Emin. I'm very disappointed in her .

The footballers can all go though.

said · 04/10/2009 15:02

She just says "may" leave. Unfortunately. Higher VAT in France.

funtimewincies · 04/10/2009 20:12

She will be sorely missed .

I really cannot abide Tracey Emin. She is a classic case of 'The Emperors New Clothes'

sunshiney · 04/10/2009 20:18

i can't bear that woman and her weird face.
