This is serious debates AND news forum, not every thread has to be a debate!


So would you be happy for a convicted pedo who has served their time to be given a role in schools and education?

And?... My point remains, this is yet another anti Corbyn thread to highlight the issue the OP has with corbyn designed to gum up SD and goad Labour members.

Thats a far fetched accusation, goading in print right there..

I think when anyone starts a new discussion, they shouldn't give an opinion on the initial opening post. Getting varied opinions is a wise option because if you start a post with your own bias, your dictating which way you want the thread to go. I'm not sure why people who do this don't just write a blog

Don’t flatter yourself. I can assure you you are never at the forefront of my mind when I create a thread. If something comes up in my newsfeed that I would like to comment on then I do. I have actually resisted on a few occasions just to avoid crap like this, but in the long-term that will not influence me.

The hypocrite,

You need to add that to the is jeremy corbyn a hypocrite thread.

I'd rather add the Daily Mail and in fact most other so called newspapers to a hypocrite thread.

Trash papers which spread in the main, lies and gutter trash from the likely number of prejudiced bigots employed by them or the owners of some too.

I never read the Daily Mail and certainly won't be starting to now on here no matter how often those who amazingly hang on its every word almost,try to push it on to us.

The Mail are terrified at the prospect of a governmental collapse... they know what will happen, that's why the Corbyn offensive is rapidly building.

Employing an accountant with a fraud conviction is not the most ridiculous thing I've heard about Corbyn, but it's close.

Care to share?

Yes, it is hypocritical but then there's a huge difference between cash-strapped councils having to resort to methods that maximize their funding and the £billions in corporate profits, that should be taxed that's being filtered off into personal bank accounts. At least this little tax dodge is being used to serve the public.

The real damage with tax dodging is when the profits are shifted out of Britain. Something like 80% of tax dodging profits goes out of this country and therefore don’t ever get re-invested in infrastructure, employment or things like repairing our roads and pavements.

We subsidize the Isle of Man £350million a year so they can keep a zero rate on their corporation tax. If we didn’t subsidize them, the Isle of Man couldn’t remain a tax haven and it certainly couldn’t afford to have a zero rate corporation tax! I’ll add to that, that employed islanders don’t benefit in this tax haven. Employment is low, austerity cuts have caused the same suffering as they have here. Housing is expensive and the high cost of living is a growing burden. The money being sieved off is not being re-distributed to assist the Islanders.

I don’t care if it’s the Tories, the Labour party or any other party that is filtering public money into their own fat purse at our expense. What I do care about is, nobody is seriously tackling tax avoidance. Corporations are doing it because they can, millionaires and billionaires are doing it because there are no consequences. Nobody knows who owns what because tax avoidance is shrouded in a cloak of secrecy that is aided and abetted by our governments and I say ‘governments because this is a global problem. There’s no legislation for transparency, no law to say we have to have public records and nobody being held to account. If that doesn’t make all us honest tax paying citizens angry, then nothing will.

Very difficult to spend any reasonable amount of cash with it being checked for money laundering.
Buy a house, you have to prove how the money in the bank was accrued, firstly to the estate agent and then to the solicitors.
Every little bit helps I suppose.:shrug:
