    Brown - Income Diverter

    In the Independent yesterday one of the columnist's seem to let slip that now Mrs Brown is not working then Mr Brown has diverted income from some of his properties to her and thereby saving on tax.
    But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the younger

    Surely that is unethical? Sorry, should not use the word "ethical" when referring to a politician.

        Keep up at the back, please - this is weeks old. And it's worse than you think.

        The property in question is available for rent becuase us taxpayers are funding his London pied-a-terre despite him living in No10. And it was bought at well under market valuation by Brown from the Maxwell pension fund estate that was being wound up and dumping all those nice Labour-type voters in the doodoo. And financial advice for the deal was prvided by Mr Geoffrey Robinson, who also helped Mr Mandelson obtain a mortgage as you may recall. And the property was gifted to Mrs Brown with the clear intention of giving her a self-sufficient income, a commercial arrangement that is virtually unthinkable between two people who aren't married.

        Hypocrisy? No, of course not, merely prudent use of one's assets and tax allowances...
        Blog? What blog...?

            A good illustration of why everybody else should also seek to minimise their tax burden within the law.

            Ignore this "fair share" bollocks that Brown and the rest try and beat everyone with.
