Oh, and here's another one. Are all famous people who avoid tax hypocrites? All of them? Because most of them are at it. Footballers, for instance, use all kinds of tax avoidance methods to categorise their income in such a way as to make their taxable income shrink drastically. The BBC's presenters have an advisory service on how pay less tax. Everyone and his or her mother seeks to avoid paying less tax. U2 - and it was all of them, by the way, not just Paul Hewson - were facing a tax bill of 42% and they chose to move a chunk of that money eastward. I said at the very get go that this move is not commendable. However, it doesn't necessarily negate the good that the man does - his charity work or his wonderful music.

His blatant hypocrisy bothers me. He obviously enjoys hobnobbing with the worlds elite politicians(you can see him jizzing his pants). Seems to me he uses the whole "cumbya lets end world poverty" schtick as a way of making him look like the male version of Mother Theresa.

But did she have £400mill stashed away and a team of accountants(crooks) hiding her wealth? No!

People go to prison for not paying tax. Unless they're wealthy enough to use the very best accountants, clearly.

So he's a crook and a hypocrite.
