Oddly, any comment I have ever made on The Daily Mail has never appeared. How can I not be right wing and ranty enough for the DM?

Don't blame him.

It's the Guardian in drag these days

Inneresting !

So it wasn't Milliband but it was his mother then?

he was the beneficiary

So it wasn't Milliband but it was his mother then?

Yes, not only did his father hate the country but his mother was prepared to rip it off.

[darmstadt]

The row broke out after Duncan Smith repeated claims that Miliband’s mother used a deed of variation on his father’s will that could have minimised inheritance tax.

Of all the political sins, hypocrisy is worst – especially for Labour - Telegraph

Lets hope this turns out to be Eds back to basics moment, I want to see something wipe the nauseas grin from this over entitled champagne socialist

[DannyF1966]

Ed quite clearly stated that all due taxes have been paid - so that's OK then.

Isn't tax avoidance the (legal) process of ensuring that the amount of all due taxes is as low as possible? And if that's Ok then they've shot themselves in the foot here.

Oh come on people, you're being very narrow-minded.
Ed quite clearly stated that all due taxes have been paid - so that's OK then.

And but anyways the law changed after the DoV so it wasn't then needed and if the will had been well written in the first place the DoV wouldn't have been required anyway so what's the problem?

I often feel as though I need a shower after reading the comments on some of these Grauniad articles

People in glass houses...

[SantaClaus]

Try criticising the Guardian in their comments sections or posting about how their holding company is an offshore trust and you'll see your comment swiftly disappear. The only newspaper to trust is this one

The guardian and independent hardly pander to the world of capitalism.

Really?

I take my hat off to the Grauniad for a particularly smart piece of capitalism : they bought the then Autotrader website during a recession for a paltry £150 million, let it wind up through economic expansion and sold it off in two tranches for £1,000 million. That sort of capitalism really warms the cockles of my heart.

BTW I love Autotrader and have used it over the decades.

…they, as Guardian readers, are always right, and better than everyone else (I added that bit).

Yes. Yes, we are

[Zero Liability]

I still like the Torygraph second best of all the mainstream papers, after the FT (not enough for its price tag, though). It's not a wild stretch to assume that they're all biased in their own way, and it's only an issue (if facts are of interest to you) if it's all you read, exclusively.

Depends on the subject. On economy I disagree with her but some social issues I rather agree. One thing I don't like about the right is the frequent association with religion and the consequently illiberal views on social policies like gay marriage, right to die, abortion etc.

No fool on immigration either. Like lefty Bob Crow, she's prepared to consider the negative impacts on our own workers.

I admire her consistency on immigration.She is unlike most lefties who want to see the ruin of the Tory establishment represented by anglo saxon culture and free enterprise. But just like a lot of lefties her real agenda is against wealthy people rather than "for" anyone. She thinks good riddance to tax exiles and has a fawning obsession with the need to tax people. if she were genuinely concerned about social justice she would be directing far more energy at questioning how taxes are spent.

She sees tax as a punishment just like the rest of them.
