    Fair point.

    But he still shouldn't have got on his high horse about it. No-one Is Innocent!

      Actually, Jimmy Carr doesn't come across as a lefty. He might have made a joke about tax avoidance but everybody does (including on here). His politics seem fairly mundane to me, so I'm not sure he is being particularly hypercritical.

          He's always reminded me of Douglas Hurd for some reason. I think it's the hair.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Mister Cameron is entitled to have an opinion. Prime Minister Cameron is a public official, and in his public life he is responsible to the office and to us the voters, not to Mister Cameron's opinions.

              Sorry but that really made me

              I theory you are 100% correct. But DC has no honour.

                Big part of his job is to make sure people pay taxes.

                      I would suggest that Hurd had a far superior barnet. I always likes the Hurd spitting image puppet with its mega wave hair.
