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.

He's got more fans than most of them put together, so I think they probably quite enjoy his company too. Not a crime, is it? And he's deeply religious; not my bag and not something he's very vocal about for fear of villification (small wonder, eh?). But his spirituality probably has something to do with his philantrophism. Would it be better, for you, if he kept his books in boy scout order and his mouth shut about the political, financial rape of the third world?

So is every footballer/actor/singer who similiarly employs accountants for the same purpose equally worthy of scorn?

No, people go to prison for evading tax, not for avoiding it. If they did, the prisons would be full of the great and the mere mortal.

No he's not a crook. And he's got a damn lot more about him than some of the legitimately labelled twats who get salivated over on the Internet and couldn't find Uganda on a map.
