Reply to: Gordon behind large scale tax avoidance

Our PFI partners adhere to those regulations that apply to them.

I cannot interfere with the banking arrangements of Foreign and International companies. You should all know this, talking as often as you do about "going offshore".

The Queen should use her position as the Head of the Army to put Brown into Tower, or better on one of those spikes as a warning to future unelected Prime Ministers that some stupid actions of them carry personal price

I am already offshore thanks - no grant needed. Why should the rest of you get a grant?

Because it's only fair.

[BrilloPad]

To keep the thread on track - Brown is still a noddy though

So if I start a thread praising our prime minister will you censor it?

Now I just have to think of something good he has done...

[BrilloPad]

Nice one. How about helping IT Contractors to get their money offshore and avoid UK tax. Perhaps a government grant to kick start the process?

ISTM that the basic premise that Gordo did this knowingly is completely wrong.

I would bet the contents of my savings account(s) that:

a) Gordo did not foresee this
b) he is as pissed off as anyone here that it has happened.

You can call him an idiot for allowing it to happen, but I don't think he deserves criticism for deliberately creating it.

I think you'll find that the comment from the Labour Government will be "There's no evidence that the Prime Minister was aware of such a possibility."

So, "No evidence" means "No" does it?

Churchill - In "Like bollocks it does" mode!!!

Blair was more suited as noddy as gordo has the big ears!

The dynamic duo.

The labour party are a bunch of cockroaches.

New Labour suck noddy, big time.

I'm hungry. Should I go for the Dim Prawn Cocktail or a nice bowl of cock-a-leekie?

I would make a funny comment about not abusing the cock but do not want to get in trouble

[DimPrawn]

Lets not get too cocky now.

[SizeZero]

cocktails all around (and it isn't even Friday!)
