Where is the populist outcry against tax dodging Jeremy Corbyn ?

[Seabag]

But Maulumbu and Jules-and-Boo, neither of you are 'Leader' of the Labour Party, or potentially in line to run the friggin country

Nothing will change, it's just worth noting for when we go to vote again

[Otta]

Whilst I am not saying he'd be a good PM, this nonsense tells us absolutely nothing about hos ability.

Tabkoidesque non story.

[malumbu]

Ditto

[Blah Blah]

I'm with Otta.

This Tory government are awful, truly awful. Even on the economy they have achieved nothing. The economy has been stangant since the coalition took power, stagnant from the position it was in when Labour left office.

But there a good chance the Tory party will have both a new leader and chancellor long before the next election (and I don't see Osborne being that new leader).

I also agree that Corbyn is a bit dithery, but John McDonnell definitely has a better understanding of the importance of investment to economic growth than Osborne, by a mile and I think would do a far better job as chancellor.

I also think that being a rabble rouser, is very different to being in office. Osborne use to snort coke and hang out with prostitutes. Ian Duncan Smith lied about pretty much everything on his CV etc etc. It would be very easy to delve into most people's pasts and find reasons to discredit their abilities to be in office.

It makes no sense to think that an MP like Corbyn, who claimed just ?7.93 in MPs expenses each year on average, would deliberately try to con the tax man. And in any case, it just doesn't compare for me to someone who launders millions through offshore havens to knowingly avoid tax. Corbyn was never going to get away with it was he? So why would he deliberately do it?

Shouldn't the title of this thread be changed

Seeing as Corbyn actually paid to much tax.

[Lowlander]

I'm reminded of when Nigel Lawson, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, had his credit card refused in a branch of Threshers during the early '90s.

He'd forgotten to pay his most recent statement.

Everyone can be late or be out by a hundred pounds or so, and I would put Corbyn in that camp.

Pushing thousands of pounds around the houses via Panama etc. is deliberate obsfucation.

Based on what he published, that's true. But considering he allegedly missed three other income streams off his tax form, is that still the case?

3 income streams he omitted.

Thanks Loz, It seems like a mistake thats been

Blown out of proportion to divert attention from a

bunch of bastrds who believe they've got every

right to create misery, in daily life as well as

In the workplace.

As for voting them in, yeah we can hold a forum

Sweepie on how many will die at there hands in

The first year. 2-3 yrs for prizes, whilst

Waiting on the figures from them.

[????]

The blowing our of all proportion happened against Cameron first on this issue.....

[malumbu]

God this is getting desparate. There is no real dirt on either of them and if anything the issue and disclosure has increased the profile and spurred the government into action. My word the Telegraph having a go at a Labour leader> You'll have the Guardian having a go at the tories next....

I don't even know why I am bothered to read the thread or post a reply.
