Lt Kije Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Mr Ashcroft solicitors have been busy silencing the BBC, The Daily Mail and the Guardian, over his tax bill and tax status I thought the new government were to come down hard on tax avoiders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Think the BBC are reviewing their prog in the light of new evidence supplied by Ashcroft. Mind you, with the cuts threat from this Government, perhaps the Beeb won't want to upset a major Tory donor?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I had heard that his solicitors had been hard at work, have alook at thr mail and the Guardian on line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 have alook at the mail and the Guardian on line Hypocrite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Not at all, When I looked at both these sites, trying to find out what Mr Ashcroft had not been on Panorama, they both said after Mr Ashcrofts Solicitors had been in touch, the story had been removed, It was also on other sites, I deliberately choose to include the Mail to which it is well known I do not like, To give perspective to the story, as otherwise it would have looked like a witch hunt from the left which it is not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Heard on the news that money lost by tax evasion is 180 times bigger than that from benefit fraud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Tax evasion is money we've never had..... benefit fraud is chavs and doleys stealing money we've (me and you) paid in. That is worse in my book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Panorama was very interesting tonight the delayed program about Mr Ashcroft, no wonder he was trying to stop the program, If you didn't watch it, have a look at BBc I player, the man is very very murky. Baz tax evaition is money we should have had, as the problem is 180 times worse think of what we could get if we spent the time to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 He may well be very murky.... so was Bliar; politics is a dirty business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazj Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Nope..... I was working; creating work for people in these tough times, not worrying about how much money someone else has..... obviously we have found your true obsession Kije?

Peter T Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Tax evasion is what we would all like to be able to do. You need a good accountant (who won't be cheap) who knows the system. If you are in business, your accountant (I believe) advises you to "spend" your money on a new vehicle, etc. to reduce the amount of tax you would pay. Is this not tax evasion? It is in my book because there is one rule for the employed and one for the self-employed. The only difference between the above and the rich is that they can afford better accountants. Something we would ALL do if given the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 So everyone of you Tories is ignoring the program last night, and the fact he is being investigated by the Police Watch it I thing you will be alarmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverlady54 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I watched part of the programme before I got bored. I have to say it didn't surprise me to see what he has allegedly been doing, but unfortunately, he won't be the only one. If he is ever brought to book perhaps he will lose his title!!?

Bazj Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 So everyone of you Tories is ignoring the program last night maybe just like evey one of you Euro lovers ignores the fact that every opinion poll ever done on the subject comes down on the side of getting out and saving billions every year? Personally I was working as I said and didn't have chance to see it. As for being self employed, Peter, you really need to earn a lot of money to get any benefits from it. Sadly I am not in that category and unfortunately I have an accountant who is as staright as an arrow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I think we should look at who pays for our system, When the man who paid for the last general election is being investigated by the Police in two separate countries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 but the man who paid for the election as you call him, didn't pay the millions of people to vote for the Tories did he? He may have paid for a few extra posters and whatever, but at the end of the day it is ticks in boxes and Brown and his band of thieving socialists didn't get enough.
