“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -
yeah these people like to feel that they are special
paying tax is for the masses, the hoi polloi, the great unwashed.
We are better than them so we should not pay it.

Right Ring Ranker Tax Efficiency
I'm not too sure what kippers stance on tax evasion is now:
And this is their press release the next day: Britain's three corporate political parties should hang their heads in shame over inaction on tax evasionOn the 12th of February 2015 eleven UKIP MEPs decided to align themselves with the Greek fascist party Golden Dawn in order to vote against an EU motion to set up a special committee to clamp down on tax-dodging. The other twelve UKIP MEPs (including leader Nigel Farage) didn't even turn up to vote at all.
If you're opposed to the tax-dodging activities of multinational corporations and the super-rich, you'll be pleased to know that, despite the efforts of UKIP and Golden Dawn, the motion passed by 612 votes to 19.
The EU proposal to take more action against tax-dodging was not only supported by all of the pro-EU parties, even the French hard line anti-EU Front National party voted in favour of it, as did the centre-left anti-EU Five Star Movement who are the only other major party in Nigel Farage's ragtag EFDD political group that exists only so that the constituent parties can claim millions in EU subsidies..
Easy to read extracts for the 3 R's:
“We believe that tax evasion by individuals should face a zero tolerance approach. Every pound that one person manages to illegally evade equates to an extra pound that a law-abiding taxpayer has to pay" ... "Britain’s three corporate political parties should hang their heads in shame that they have all proven so lax and so lenient towards tax evaders while hammering working people on modest incomes with hefty tax bill"s ... "Britain needs a party that does not turn a blind eye to those who seek to dodge what they are legally bound to pay while still availing themselves of the many advantages of living or doing business in Britain" ... "UKIP is the one party with the appetite to tackle these infuriating abuses."“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

The two are only incidentally related. You can't credibly be anti-eu and then vote for new eu laws. That says nothing about tax policy.Originally posted by darmstadt View PostI'm not too sure what kippers stance on tax evasion is now:
