The End is Nighy
“We all owe any success we have had in our acting careers, to varying degrees, to films supported by the UK Film Council” screamed Bill Nighy in his last doomed toe-dip into the political arena. Since then he’s become the frontman for the cute, if incorrectly named, “Robin Hood Tax” campaign that would surrender the City of London to the sinking European ship. Old Bill clearly hasn’t taken the time to think these two campaigns through though…
The Film Council lobbied the government for tax breaks and special favours, yet this seems to be fine as long as Bill can “owe any success” to it. He even appeared in films shot in the Isle of Man for tax reasons – such as Wild Target. If Nighy wants a unilateral financial tax, Guido wants a unilateral Film Transaction Tax from the man himself. Perhaps “a tiny tax” on every single box-office and DVD sale?
I want tax breaks too.
More TAX less money in economy, while UK gov with USA mates going bombing around the world. Tell bill if he thinks he is getting the money for some poxy film he must be mental
Balls would say you’re proposing taking money OUT of the economy.
Balls doesn’t know the difference between spending and investing.
Balls doesn’t know the difference between shit and clay either.
i pays me taxes every week although i opt out of the politicol levy that the union try to take – why doesnot everybody else – it is alot of money to me.
There’s an expression that comes to mind with Mr Balls that involves “bum,” “both hands,” and “road map.”
“The question is, how can we get the ox out of the ditch?” Mr Skinner said. “In order to create jobs in America, you’re going to have to cut taxes… particularly in the business community.
“We pay some of the highest [corporate] taxes around the world. There needs to be some levelling.”
Asked about federal borrowing, he said: “It’s not a good story… the government has to spend less. We have to grow the economy, grow GDP… and you have to be able to do it in an organic way and not through borrowings and increasing debt.”
McDonalds saves your arse
we need to sharpen up in UK – cut benefits across the board – JFDI. Taxes – any mid income individuals (say 175k income) get flat tax deal) and corp tax 19% all round
see the economy surge
even the benefit cu-ts will like it
well I’m not exactly over the moon at the moment with the current government but I’m jolly glad bullyballs is not in charge of the treasury because I wouldn’t sleep at night wondering where he was going to throw my money next.
I do my best to make sure “they” can’t get hold of my money in the first place.
Then the buggers started printing QE money and made my money worth less than it was last year.
Can’t win with these gits.
Well read “Quote of the Day” Nell – at least he doesn’t want to bung £40bn to the IMF to bail out French banks…..whereas Dave and George? They’ll just do what they’re told…..
Tories need to be very careful that labour don’t move to a Eurosceptic stance….or they’ll be playing catch up all over again….
Balls is a gobshite.
I’m going to form a group called “LSLPYMLSBIPRJKYUOY.” It stands for “Luvvies Stop Looking for Purpose to Your Meaningless Life Spent Badly Impersonating People with Real Jobs and Keep Your Uninformed Opinions to Yourself”.
G Man, don’t forget that the Luvvies have a variable view on the law. A banker builds a house on green belt without planning permission and it’s “bankers greed and arrogance”. If it’s another group, then Vanessa Whatserface is there defending an oppressed minority.
When I saw the picture of her at Dale Farm the caption should have read ‘I’m ready for my close up now Mr. De Mille’.
Bill, Vanessa and all the other lefty luvvies are self employed and no doubt have clever accountants ensuring they don’t pay the same level of tax that the ‘little people’ do. They have agents that squeeze the most lucrative contracts from the studios. They are often insecure and wear their hearts on their sleeve as they have to keep in with the lefty luvvie crowd who seem to infest the ‘Arts Establishment’, hence the gesture politics of solidarity with whoever is currently indulging in high profile political posturing.
Whilst all this nonsense goes on, millions of people up and down the country quietly continue to make things, repair things and sell things that other people need. Others keep the essential services running and make the country a place where luvvies can have the luxury of being mountebanks.
Triplet, you do not speak with forked tongue.
Another Lefty who believes we should fund his wealth and fame
The Twitterwaves, pap TV and the Dead Tree Press are filled with rich celebs who actually believe we care about their monstrous egos. Only the wealthy or benefit funded anarchists can indulge in socialism – as Tent City proves.
Isn’t it interesting how satire died when Labour came to power? Elderly stand-ups still bang on BBC-like about Thatcher of whom few under the age of 30 know about.
Political satire regarding Lord Lardarse, Gormless Gord & Tony Blair, Millionaire was abundant with potential comedy but the leftoid “comedians” switched focus to making fun of the vulnerable – old, the disabled, the overweight….the truly despised and neglected sectors under Labour….safer ground for people hating National Socialists Workers Party supporters with their approved list of victims…..Stand Up the Regressive Alliance!
Largely sponsored and then dissipated by BBC (tv and radio) & C4, and then of course Dave
The argument is more to do with portability; if you don’t offer favourable tax rates for the film industry they just go elsewhere and you lose the money the production gives to the local economy (the people serving the double cream lattes to the actors). Apparently Nighy is able to see that in the case of the film industry but not in the case of the financial sector, is I think Guido’s point, which the unilateralists believe would just happily conduct business here rather than in, say, Singapore.
Give the banks tax breaks then, they make us ore money and provide real jobs plus pay monumental taxes
ore? maybe owe?
Nah, a Tobin Tax is a good idea (in so far as it discourages short-term unproductive take-the-money-and-run trades which only increase market volatility) IF it were applied universally in so far as it would provide both a revenue stream which didn’t retard growth and would actually add to market stability, but it’s pretty fucking stupid if you’re the only one doing it because then the financial trading (which is near enough 100% portable) will just bugger off to the US or Asia. Which I’m pretty sure was what Cameron said at PMQs.
A Tobin tax is not a good idea and doesn’t discourage speculation (ONLY lowering credit volume does that).
All banks would pay the idiotic tobin tax which means there’d be no way of competing (except in a wise state that opted out of it) so it would just get passed onto the consumer through higher costs.
So less volume but the same momentum = HIGHER VOLATILITY.
Tobin tax = More violent and sudden moves in pricing. Good for the politically connected, bad for consumers.
Please cut and paste the above where people advocate the King John Tax.
The tax payers who fund The British Film Council should receive a share in the profits of succesful films they have financed.
And we should also be able to grow money trees from the skittles the unicorns shit.
Yeah fuck the Tobin tax. Lets just nationalize 50% of all of them and tax them more directly on their profits.
Couldn’t agree more.
And it’s the same with Arts Council grants. They whinge about cuts to theatre grants, thinking they have a God-given right to be subsidised by the taxpayers, even now. If people think a theatre is worth running, let them get sponsorship or put plays on that people will pay to see. 13 years’ of Labour luvviedom – they’ve been spoilt. Welcome to the real world. (By the way, Bill Nighy, Richard Curtis, the BBC – socialist circles within socialist circles, isn’t it?)
introducing: The LabourGraph at http://labourgraph.blogspot.com
A New Blog to Convey the Message of Socialist Anarchism and Social Action to Interested Individuals.
Not associated or funded by the Labour Party – but for it’s members and sympathisers to congregate and share ideas and articles if wished. One article a day will be posted for discussion.
It is by Labour, and Capital that the world has been poisoned. Yet only Labour can heal it. Although we politically have sympathies with the Labour Party we believe that Anarchist insights can bridge the gap of dissonance between what Labour administrations have typically said vis a vis what they have done.
It is clear enough that Tory propaganda and actions will not help the working man despite their claims to.
The LabourGraph is hereby established to encourage to co-opting of the Labour party by the wider population and so it’s course of politics and it’s membership can be improved by a wider membership.

“Socialist Anarchism”
#Oxymoron
Yes, that did sort of leap out of the screen.
Someone on this blog a few months ago claimed to be a “Neo-Communist Anarchist”.
The results of Labour’s “Edjookayshun” system.
PS: “but for it’s members” shouldn’t have a possessive apostrophe.
As a true libertarian, may I claim anarchy for myself? I’m a devotee of Thoreau, and all his philosophy is just anarchy with the recognition that there must be a certain amount of state activity tacked on.
Anyway – I know what I want and I know how to get it, and I wanna be….
A neo-communist anarchist? WTF?
I truly despair.
Sod it, I’ve got beers in the fridge.
Is this a spin-off from the post-putsch Tossergraph ?
I just want fewer taxes. Don’t add more of them to the already heavy burden, or economic activity will grind even slower than it already is.
Who the hell is Bill Nighy, anyway? He’s not another of these loony lefty economists, is he? “Tax everything at 100% and then we’ll all be equal.” Yes, we’ll all be equally skint.
and starved.
As someone who unfortunately produced a movie with Bill, I can tell you that the hook handed, chain smoking millionaire socialist didn’t bring any of his ‘ success ‘ to my project. I should have got the tax payer to fund it….
He also didn’t ask for a lower salary or for me to donate some of it to the less deserving. He also enjoyed a driver, a 5 star hotel and a fawning assistant to light his horrible fags every 2 minutes….
That odd chap outside Marks & Spencer with the sandwich board was right. The end really is Nighy.
Sorry to sound bitchy, darling, but Mr Nighy is at best a one-note actor. Every performance is the same – even, monotonous, as if he’s reading from a mobile idiot board. His delivery is the aural equivalent of watching paint dry.
ah hit the nail on the head ……i’ve never seen a variation ever.. saw an impressionist do him once(the impressionist was better than him )
I get tax breaks, it’s called MP’s expenses. I’ve been shagging on them for years.
We can see that.
http://en.ria.ru/world/20111107/168481265.html
why more taxes Guido?
The film industry should not recive government money nor special favours.
Feckin’ luvvies, give me their wages for dancing about like a prat and I will happily pretend to have a social conscience !!
I think it’s important that low-paid workers, many of whom perhaps spend their entire working lives cleaning toilets, should be forced under threat of imprisonment to give their money to me.
Then they can watch me quaffing Champagne at BAFTA ceremonies at their expense, and this will make them happy.
Possibly behind a paywall, this article from this weekend’s FT Magazine has Lucy Kellaway ask Nighy about his involvement in the Robin Hood campaign.
[A word from their publishers: High quality global journalism requires investment. Please share this article with others using the link below, do not cut & paste the article. See our Ts&Cs and Copyright Policy for more detail. Email ftsales.support@ft.com to buy additional rights.}
An idea of his thinking on the subject:
“I’m not a financial expert. The Robin Hood tax seems to me a very simple and beautiful idea. I don’t see the problem. Unless it’s a problem of implementation, and then if that’s the case, as I say, who gives a f***? If you pardon my language. Sorry, I won’t swear again.”
Robin Hood indeed – although it’s precisely the sort of twisted thinking you’d expect, I suppose.
We should call it a ‘Robbing Hood tax’ or a ‘Sheriff of Nottingham tax’ since it’s intention is to rob the poor to pay the rich.
Robin Hood tax?? Take from the hard working and give to the underclass ?? No fecking way !!
From the FT interview
“To lighten the mood I ask about his clothes, on which he’s famously keen. Today his suit is from Ermenegildo Zegna, he says, and the shirt is, as ever, made by Margaret Howell.”
Hmm, so that’s £1,400 upwards for the suit (assuming it’s off the peg) and £160 and points north for the shirt . . . . .
Hmmm a champagne socialist…. wow no surprise there then.
More like Dick Turpin tax and at least he had the decency to wear a mask, mind you a mask would be an improvement for most of the proposers. dopey twunts.
I understand Bill, I really do, with a face like yours, that resembles an anus recovering from weeping dysentery, you need all the help you can get.
You should take it easy for a while Bill, I’d say your arse is out like the neck of a wine bottle.
Hark, the sound of Guido scraping barrels
Just love these luvvies trying so hard to get state funding for their lifestyles, or at least the life style they want to become accustomed to.
I knew where to put them, it begins and ends with a G.
Godalming?
Gettysburg ?
Godalming?
Benburb?
Arts Council were happy to pay large taxi bill for Liz Forgan from Stratford Upon Avon to her London pad. Happy to take the money from taxpayers to fund her lifestyle.
Of course culture is a merit good and should be funded by the taxpayers/government. The Arts Council, robbing the poor to help the rich luvvies.
> Of course culture is a merit good and should be funded by the taxpayers/government.
I disagree, How do I opt out of this “merit”?
Grimethorpe?
Gross-Rosen?
It shows just how egotistical these luvvies and so called pop stars are when they presume their ignorant politically motivated ramblings are more important than those of us hoi-poloi.
I, for one, am sick to the back teeth of leftie ham actors telling us how wonderful it would be living under socialism. The Yanks are just as bad – George Feckin Clooney, Alec “Fat Lad” Baldwin, Sean “fisticuffs” Penn, Barbra Streisand, Susan Sarandon. Tim Robbins etc. They all think their opinions and love for Obarmey matter to us.
They are just thick actors who are paid to read dialogue written by people better read than they are.
Egocentric, shallow and probably substance abusers, these are the last people whose opinions I would give any credence to.
Team America : World Police

Enough said.
Best film ever!

Only one actor I’ve heard good things about…
Gary Sinise
Thesbs should stick to Thesbing – actors don’t live in the real world, that’s why they’re actors.
Order-order.com is hosted in Texas. Good to see this site supporting the UK economy too!

A librarian balances the books, by all accounts. That’s how to get ahead with Chinese Pilates.
A 20% tax on DVDs perhaps?
DVD’s ?? wtf are they ?? I just download for nowt !!
Same here. 99% of films now are utter shite.
Did anyone actually buy “Battle Los Angeles”? Christ on a bike. I downloaded it for nothing and I still felt robbed.
Me too. Wasted bandwidth if ever there was.
I was rooting for the aliens in the end.
Bollocks to all this – off to watch Dr Strangelove. Back in an hour and a bit.
I liked it.
I quite liked it too.
The one to avoid would be Transformers 3.
Mark Kermode’s hilarious 1 minute review…
He’s one of those turn off’s , he comes on tv, I turn off.
Sadly the support of the “luvies for Labour” does not extend to their own fortunes.
Why should their industry benefit by perks not open to the rest of the private sector? Does Hollywood run on US taxpayers’ cash? There are some hard-hit parts of the private sector that may need short-term subsidies in the present climate but the film industry isn’t one of them.
Do as I say, not do as I do, perhaps ?
Why don’t they raise funding by coming up with decent ideas and/or scripts and going to investors, instead of asking me and you to fund the crap they usually write?
well the beeb is awash with our cash – they should be persuaded to cut back on all those overpaid salaries and expenses and unnecessary expensive 5 star trips and put money into projects for actors instead.
The proposed cuts completely miss the point, the layers and layers of pointless management are preserved intact, programmes and viewers will suffer.
I’d spend the money on quality writers not actors
I’m afraid you do not understand bureaucracy t says. You have to have the layers of pointless management there to actually make the cuts. Cuts don’t make themselves, you know.
scene from Brazil
The Beeb have so many people in Athens that they are now interviewing each other in front of the parliament building (Messrs. Hewitt and Sopel) on the box last night. This morning I heard John Humphrys on the Today programme “reporting” from Athens. Well, he wasn’t giving a report, he was actually letting us have the benefit of his opinion. There may have been another reason for a trip to the cradle of democracy, have a guess where John has a villa.
Beggars belief, doesn’t it? I noticed that Steven Nolan of Radio 5 Labour went there as well last week, but apparently only for 2 days or so. I mean, WTF? Have they got money to burn?
Yes: our money. Glimpsing how they spend it somehow makes it worse than just having it stolen outright by an anonymous thief.
But have you noticed Nell, they just employ the same few actors over and over again. By the way, maybe part of the Telly Tax ought to be given to the Arts Council every year to support theatres and the like if that is what is needed. That would be better than the BBC wasting millions every year on ridiculous wages and shiny new buildings that arn’t even needed.
Maybe we can leave it to customer demand and retire the immoral concept of extortion funding for entertainment…
They BBC reporters weren’t so quick to go to Iceland. Pity, they could have eaten Icelandic pissed-on rotten shark on Beeb expenses.
If their product is any good people will invest in it at the beginning & buy it when it is productised.
Socialist welfare policies for the luvvies to make utter self indulgent crap at the expense of hard working tax paying families is not on.
Nighy, like all the metropolitan luvvies, is a complete hypocrit.
True Sophie. And if they make a terrible fuck-up of it they can run to the taxpayer and ask to be bailed out – like you know who.
Er…w/bankers?
and any capitalist would say No! The corporate marxists that we have, unfortunately have a different opinion.
Well, now that Nighy and the rest of the luvvies are so flush with cash they can invest in their own films and really clean up.
Them being so successful and all.
George Harrison did it. Funded some decent films and no doubt made a profit.
Or does Nighy not have the courage of his convictions?
I also thought the Ocean’s Eleven crowd funded those two (three?) films and made a packet.
Withnail & I is just one superb example of what is possible if the luvvie set can free itself from Government welfare & demanding unfair tax advantages
Sophie
You terrible huhne!
Must dig my copy out later
Yeah – but when’s “Sex Lives of the Potatomen 2″ coming out? That’s the real tragedy behind these Fatcherite cuts…..
I’m fully in favour of a tax on anyone named Tobin.
Stop giving these luvvies gongs and awards for prancing about, give them to people with real jobs, that will soon have them squealing about unfairness.
Dreadful consequence of modern tv culture, the incessant need for new talentless celebrities
Agreed Billy Bob, someone does a job for a long time and makes a bundle so they must have a gong, mustn’t they?
I know a bloke who has built up a small building firm from nothing to a very sizeable concern employing dozens and he regularly gives lots to charity in a very discrete way. A success by any measure but he won’t get a gong, they’d rather give it to a game show host with all his money offshore.
The fragrant Mrs. Mensch is flaunting them/herself, I see:

They turned me into a newt.
I got better.
“Perhaps “a tiny tax” on every single box-office and DVD sale?” – I’m not sure I’d call 20% VAT ‘tiny’.
Bleh – the luvvies would welcome a doubleplus vat tax. As long as the proles are paying it.
100% income tax over average blue-collar wage for any benficiary of film council subsidy. Including the many for-profit overseas producers that have been sponging off us. That *might* just be punitive enough to wake a few of these dimwits up.

https://submissions.epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/19658
If I could sign the petition again Democracy I would. Well done for keeping this petition to the fore.
You’re all fruitcakes, loonies and closet ray systs.
La la la la la la! I’m not listening!
Nonsense. It is not racist. I know for a fact that one of the people who signed it this afternoon is a former Chinese national now with British Citizenship.
This is about over-population, the quality of life of all the legal residents in this country and the complete and undemocratic failure of the government (and previous governments) to listen to the public.
What? The government listen to the public? You’re joking. It’ll be a cold day in Hell before our politicians do that.
Many quite ordinary think the institutional deafness of our central and local governments have already many aspects of life into a sort of hell. And as for the big freeze, there are people who don’t believe in global warming who will not be surprised if there is some pretty hard winter weather again this year.
It’s not about Race, it’s about Space!!
Correction, 1500
Have another sig to add to the pile.
Well done. You and another hundred.
Only 1400 to go.
Very strangely, about 50 signatures have just been deleted from the total.
And then re-added. What are they playing at in Downing Street?
Probably due to a cache/seeing different copies of the signature databases on different machines.
Sorry, Not signing.
But good luck anyway.
Is this a reverse Brown blessing?
Maybe Billy doesn’t live in the UK.
You have to put your address on for the signature to count.
No, because its a bonkers policy.
what do you do if you are one short of 70 million and someone gives birth to twins?
eugenics?
If it gets to that stage I will volunteer to live in Australia.
Dont you see how daneroues it is, to give the state the power to control population numbers, china tried with one child per family (check out the results, Babies left in gutters etc), Can you imagine wkeing up the BBC headline “stop fucking, 70 million has been reached”.
Don’t worry, the likelihood would be that the problem would be managed by actually enforcing existing immigration laws properly and turfing out illegals, of which there are several hundreds of thousands (at the most conservative estimates) in London. By also actually checking who is claiming for what, a considerable amount of pressure on resources could be relieved. No-one I know of is interested in eugenics.
See if had worded the petition like that then i might have able to sign, but the fact it talks about the state limiting the population numbers is one the fills me with fear.
The native population is about stable or even dropping
If the Government stopped using workers’ money to pay bone-idle feckless chavs to breed like rats, the population would start to fall pretty quickly.
@TT
I am all for scrapping child benifit for everyone, I just think this petition is worded wrong and tho it might have the right intentions, it comes across of state control to much, I mean a set figure of 70 million, like i said, what happens when you reach that number?
The same problem arises if the figure were 69,999,999.
Still, some figure has to be given to get the government to pay attention. Otherwise, they government would just say the demands are too vague. Much of the public are totally fed up with being used for some unaccountable experiment in social engineering that they were never asked they wanted to be a part of.
Any power you give the state it Will abuse, just say that the far left B&P get in?
How would they reduce numbers?
@ DN and @BB
It’s correct, you have to have a figure, otherwise clowns such as Jack Straw will get away without spouting the line that “there’s no practical limit to how many can come and live here.”
There is a limit – the infrastructure; farms, fuel, power, schools, hospitals, care homes. At some point the cost of building, manning and maintaining these would stuff the country and we’d be passing Albania on the down-slope to the Third World.
David Attenborough subscribes to the view that Britain’s population should be no more than 17.5million, which is even better. He should be PM.
That group pretend they aren’t but they are really a one-trick pony. Their ideology is nonsense and their racism is unattractive to most people. With proper controls in place, their emotional appeal (and the appel of groups like them) would evapourate.
If the government were made to do their job properly and actually enforce our immigration laws in the way the public expects, their other ‘attractions’ would be completely undermined.
The rate of increase in the population will stabilize and reduce fairly naturally if the illegals are made to leave, proper controls put in place to keep further illegal entrant numbers down by intelligent enforcement and incoming legal immigrant numbers kept under proper scrutiny to ensure it is really in the naitonal interest.
It will take a decade or so to undo the damage of successive waves of illegal entry and secret amnesties, but it is not worth giving up. There is too much at stake, not least the general feeling the public has that the government does not believe in the rule of law or in listening to the will of the public.
How would you increase the numbers? You wouldn’t – 70 million is an increase on what we have now (so far as we know – God knows how many this and the previous idiot government let in).
A large number of people emigrate every year. They go, you don’t let anyone else in, and you stop paying young women of all social classes (but especially chavs) to breed (the breeding-incentive of a free house can be removed, too).
The population should stabilise. It should do; what it cannot be allowed to do is keep on growing, forever.
“How would you decrease the numbers?”
FFS. Oh for an edit button.
Billy what do you fucking care anyway you poof, you’ve no say in the matter as you won’t be producing kids anytime soon by sticking your dick up mens arses.
And Gays wonder why people get pissed off with them, sticking their noses into eveything and wanting a say when they have already ruled themselves out of the biological running in the first place.
Then dont ask me to fund them then (child benifit etc).
Billy, since you dont pay tax on your dole, there is no prospect of you funding anything. I will sign the petition for you.
Fuck off with your bullshit.
No seen that sort of temper since Anon tore you 3 new arseholes on consecutive days about 2 months ago,
If you dont like the bullshit on here, I think you know what you can do
Nobody has ever torn me a new arsehole on hear. If you think they have you have never seen one. It fucks me of that you keep posting in my monkier. Get a life.
Lost the argument so you resort to smears, so easy to spot the left are.
fake, fuck of
Don’t read things so literally. It’s symbolic and a nominal figure you gherkin.
It has passed 99,000.
Fewer than 700 signatures now needed
This will make no difference. The size of the population is whatever the Governnent decides to tell us it is, as it owns the statistical information. So if it is politically useful to say that the population is well under 70 million, that is what we will be told. The census is a pretty blunt instrument anyway, given the number of illegals living under the radar.
640 to go
600
Calm down dear.
Sexist
Good advice. I expect nothing but an anticlimax to come of this.
Nevertheless, only 406 signatures are needed.
The speed with which the public is signing up is interesting. You would have thought that this afternoon’s exchanges in Parliament would have shown that our rulers really do give a monkey’s about immigration control. But the crowd knows better, it seems…

That was someone else Billy. I stayed out of that.
you let your mask slip as soon as you accused me of being not from this country (one of your favorites) even tho i tried to debate in civil manner.
i did not write this – beware of fakes – i thoght it was just me but maybe others to. enouf is enouf, please stop it
Whichever one of you is which (it could be neither of you, for all you know), please be assured that I am not into personal attacks on other people on here unless that are politicians behaving like crooks. (Presumably that rules you out).
I did speculate that someone might not sign a petition because they are not in the UK. That was not meant as a criticism of anyone or as a smear, merely as an observation, that someone might wish to sign something but not be allowed to.
Even if you, or one of you, does not agree with the petition, that is not something that bothers me. I can quite undestand peple not signing it: several of my friends certainly would not sign it, and as a wishy washy person who belives in democracy, I can happily live with that.

Bill is obviously suffering from the ‘Do what I say, not what I do’ syndrome. A bit like the overpaid bankers who drone on about ‘enterprise’ and ‘risk’.
54 on ….and the multi millionaire Ed Miliband. Ed and his family know much about tax havens.
Is this a hypocrite I see before me. (apologies to the great bard)

He most strenously denies any idea that he is not suffering, having just bought an £8.5 million house
He is one of us and we are all in this together, especially those who become filthy rich offshore
(You know the rest)
Usual suspects then ?
The Usual Suspects were Gabriel Byrne, Kevin Spacey, Pete Postlethwaite et al.
Ah yes, DCI Brian Lane (ret.) Isn’t he one of the cast of “New Tricks” a programme which is affectionatly known in the Triplet household as “Last of the Summer Crime”.
The very same, Guv. Bit of an anorak that one, but me mate just the same.
++LOL++
Yet another pratish leftie. /why oh why do the acting profession attract such a lot of bums?
Would it be that when they get a good role and big pay off, its socked away offshore. When they are “resting” they live off the backs of us lowly tax payers?
Like in France, all the luvvies and lefties howl when their subsidies are taken away
Not only are they a self-appointed cast who think they are above the common mortal taxpater
But the films they have produced, with very few exceptions in the last 25 years are pure and total CRAP
There haven’t been many good films in the last 25 years (and I should know, I’ve downloaded most of them). The Oscar-winning Hurt Locker, for example, was truly execrable. And that was, officially, one of the best.
However, for a truly awful film (co-star Howard Marion-Crawford actually killed himself after seeing the finished product), you have to go back to 1969′s “The Castle of Fu Manchu” starring Christopher Lee. Not even Plan 9 From Outer Space can match it (I’ve got that, too).
In one scene, where Fu Manchu’s army are attacking the eponymous highly-defended castle, you can see tourists walking about in the background.
‘Ghandi’ was pretty fucking awful too and it won a shit-load of Oscars.
And ‘Chariots of Fire’.
In fact a hat-ful of Oscars seems to be the movie equivalent of an endorsement by the Maximum Imbecile.
Youve no idea how much I fucking hated Four Weddings and a Funeral !
You’ve answered your own question ” bums “
> why do the acting profession attract such a lot of bums?
Narcissism. Lefties and luvvy Ak-tours both find common ground in it.
“Old Bill clearly hasn’t taken the time, etc” Maybe we should we set the old Bill on Mr. Nighy, see what turns up.
These luvvies live in ivory towers and do not live in real world. They would do well to stop meddling in people’s lives. Another example of a hypocritical luvvie doing more harm than good.
Fvcking Luvvies, who cares what these drug-addled wasters who live in cloud-cuckoo land think!
Another symbol od dumb-ass Britain, that the luvvies and their media allies give these idiots a platform to spout shit.
Someone should point out to these knobs what the difference is between having notoriety and being notable!
‘media allies give these idiots a platform to spout their shit’ = BBC. (See also Hugh Grant.)
Can you be free and safe?
Yes, but only if your name is Tony Blair.

Re the Robin Hood tax, the people I would like to rob are the overpaid, overfed and overhere footballers and their agents who rake in an amount that is obscene, even by bankers standards….
Why?
Are your forced to fund the footballers?
You’re forced to fund the BBC which funds match of the day by funding the premier league.
Any solutions spring to mind?
OK fair point ( just thought of it myself), tho cost of MOTD and highlight rights are tiny compared to what Sky pay.
Yeah but no one is forced to pay for Sky if they don’t want it…..
Well, the cost of MOTD could easily be reduced by sacking Lineker, Hanson and Shearer. Either that or pay them 10% of their current salaries.
10% of 1.4M = 140 Grand.
pay them about 3% of their current salaries.
During one of my rare forays into the workings of Parliament, i chanced across part of a debate in the house today. The freak show that was unveiled before me was jaw droppingly cringe making both in its simplicity of speech and knuckle dragging partisan blindness of the participants.
Is this the best we can muster to represent us on the world stage? Are these the brightest sparks of all generations risen to the fore in our hour of need?
No wonder we’re up shit creek.
It is significant that many MPs have no experience of meaningful employment outside of the political bubble. These days few have any background of senior positions in commerce, industry or the armed forces.
I once sat in a seminar where a government minister made a surprisingly erudite speech about what the future could hold for the organisation and the industry it represented. At the end, the president of the organisation leant over to me and whispered in my ear, “He’s repeated everything I told him over lunch”.
In response to 113 above, the name is spelt “Gandhi”. It is the Indian word for “Grocer”.
The Americans awarded the film several Oscars because they approve of the title character. Of course, if Gandhi had been an American Indian, he would have been shot by the local sheriff.
I always thought it odd that Ghandi won the Oscar for best costume design.
Labour’s denial continues re the Teresa May staement to the house this afternoon. The hypocrisy of Yvette Cooper is astounding.
Labour the party that fucks up everything.
You see it pays to use vile language to get past moderation.
Q. How many illigal immigrants are there in Britain?
A. Theresa May. Who knows? Who cares?
Conservatives. Tough on illegal immigration, tough on the causes of illegal immigration.
Send the buggers back………
LABOUR HYPOCRISY STINKS.
It’s easy to spot the terrorists as they all have black beards. Could it be clearer?
Do they ??
Gordon Browns beard was white?
and he’s in the red. ….. OMG, McMoron thinks he’s Santa Claus !
Actually the ones to look out for are those with red dye on their beards and a bump on their heads.
I solved the confusion. When Teresa May asked for a “pilot” scheme, she meant that only airline pilots should be allowed through immigration without having their biometrics tested.
Thank you Jeremy Thorpe , you can call me Bunny…

What is Ed Miliband’s position on the Tobin Tax?
I fecking hate Red Ed…. I am not one of ‘em, but the Old Time Labour guys I know hate the nasal wazzick also !!
Why not give Ed the nob of the year award now. No one else will come near!
Doctor…. surely a knob?
Around these parts we say nob, but if you insist knob is fine by me. Leaving out the silent k is a cost saving, but not in this case a I have typed all this drivel, ah well.
My first reply is under moderation. Only Guido knows why.
Why are you obsessed with a man of no intellect, no answers and no future?
What do you think of David Camerons alternative view of the EU tomorrow?
Are you getting off on someone dying of cancer?
Oh, be fair. Anyone who acted as “mentor” to Bliar deserved to get cancer. I can only hope it was particularly painful.
I’ve had friends die of cancer, so I know how distressing it is. So, let’s hope Slotgob gets cancer, too, so Bliar can watch her die a (hopefully) slow and agonising death.
And then let’s hope Bliar himself gets it. Perhaps a lung, first. Then a kidney. Then his prostate. Let’s have bits of him die, bit by painful bit.
Blair, your storm as yet to come.
and the International Criminal Court !!
I enjoy Bill’s films.
British films are usually leading the World.
I understand most of the funding comes from taxpayers who are paying such high rates of tax they would rather make a loss funding a British film than pay the Inland Revenue.
As for any other tax the task is to stop the State spending more money not giving them more to overspend.
Look at the State Workers almost every week they make the headlines not doing what they are paid to do.
Told you all Essex Police were coruppt!

Dear David Cameron,
The euro – and the EU – are going to collapse. Please stop giving Brussels £50million of our money, every day. It’s a waste. We need that money here, not over there. You should have worked this out for yourself, but being an imbecile, you missed it. I’ve therefore pointed it out.
Thanks,

PS: sack Therease May. Now. Like you, she’s a fucking joke and (like you) completely out of her depth.
Do stop whingeing down there you little oik. Can’t you see we the entitled are getting on with the job we were born and educated to do, keeping you people in your well deserved state of penury, and it’s not that easy I can tell you, Gideon and I have to work flat out at it, so just shut up.

If I read that right, a sockpuppet is someone who’s pretending to be who/what they aren’t.
Does that include militwit, do you think, who is pretending to be the next potential PM of the UK as he pitches his tent with the occupylsx druggies and abusers of the British Legion.
I do not believe in paying tax and I will take to the streets to keep retirement at 49 on full pension.

Mildly ironic that Italy’s economy is about to collapse just as Polly Toynbee starts an extended holiday there. Given her public-spirited need to help the poor, I’m sure she’ll bail them out. It’s the right thing to do.
Yes, she will write colum for the Guardian asking for donations to the Italian Government.

I wonder if she’s as good a comedy writer in italian as she is in english?

I wonder how she would feel about a bunch of people turning up outside her villa with a few tents.
Has Greece room for another 60 million people?
I think maybe we’re better off here, with our own problems, away from the euro and the vicious bullying that the euro nations are getting from the poison french dwarf and his german hausfrau sidekick.
I don’t know about anyone else but, for me, that blatant french and german bullying of other nation states in order to get their own way has been a shocking eye opener.

Ah the eminent doctor is guilty.
I suppose that’s a fair verdict – he did after all administer the propofol that michaelj demanded and had the unlimited funds to buy.
Michael Jackson didn’t have unlimited funds – he was as financially illiterate as Brown & Balls, and every bit as broke.
What is amusing is that Jackson had a brother (I learned tonight) called Randy.
I think that’s funny, anyway. Rapacious kiddy-fiddler Michael had a brother called Randy.
Well of course one accepts that he had no appreciation of money or how to look after it – he was after all paying the eminent dr £93k a month! I feel sure he could have got better value for less money.
But he wasn’t exactly penniless – he did leave his children £200million in royalties.
I’m sure you and I wish we could do the same but we shan’t.
Now you’ve hit on a key point there, which the defence might have missed. The doctor was paid £93,000 per month.
What doctor – or any employee, for that matter – who earns ninety three thousand pounds per month, wants their employer dead?
When are the Lefty Luvvies going to understand that the rest of us do not want to be forced to support their “artistic” endeavours in any way whatsoever.

Now, thanks to his Freedom of Information request, we’re all going to find out what work David and Samantha Cameron have had done to the bathroom of their Downing Street flat. Carpet or tiles? Do they have a bidet? Is it avocado? Does he have one of those fancy shower-heads like a dustbin lid, or is it one of those rubber stethoscope jobs you wiggle onto the taps? Oh, what bliss. Watson is a genius. I’d just urge him to be very careful when crossing the road from now on”

Ye lass, he’s a slimy two faced turncoat that one and would sell his grandmother if he could get a bob or two for her.
I bet he has. I bet there’s some Chinese executive walking around Beijing, with Cameron’s granny’s liver inside him.

Anyway apparently he’s a marxist (the jackal that is not hancock though chances are he also is) so no doubt militwit, who descends from a long line of marxists will be jumping on the bandwagon to excuse the jackals ‘crimes’.

I always enjoy a bit of Kelvin Mckenzie , I feel as though there is a decision to be made against political entropy , alas as the day progressed , there was a lot of strain , a few tacit points , an ecnomic paper the PM hadnt read and it was left to simmer . The new show is Berlosconies 2 days of trouble , however like an argentinian tango the dance progresses . Ed decided it was a good subject to get stuck into Dave on making the most of Daves apparent inability to turn debt into a deal at the g20 , I pondered what if in some alternate life , Ed had been in the driving seat , and was making the statement
“Mr speaker I would like to inform the house of what took place at the recent Cannes G20, the global crisis which started in America and which Labour steered the UK through , has now come to a better agreement at the g20 , we will be assisting the eurozone , by investing in it , the house should not worry about matters like contagion , for when our far sighted previous PM signed the Lisbon treaty , he had in mind that such a situation as this may arise and we would need to chip in and lose any sense of being seperate from the now capitol of euroland , Berlin “Iche bein Ine Berliner ” as one USA president said and soon so shall we . Further good news at the meeting was that a whole new branch of goverment is to be set up , the truth and debt reconciliation ministry is to be headed by one our top british finance experts ,none other than Chancellor ed Balls , ensuring that investing our money in our shared debts is the right thing to do ……..”
the curious mantra at the moment takes little account of what a post bazooka eurozone would look like , that is when we have legged ourselves in soo deep that talk of ecnomic recovery becomes meaningless and food handouts become the new jobless help . Very odd isnt it when no apparent solution is at hand on standard ecnomic models , Ed has no solution does he ? like the rest of labours ecnomic strategty , avoiding any connection between what they said at EU meetings , what they were doing to the Uk economy , debts allover the place and never a solution .Where is Blairs or the ruins great speech on reigning in eurozone debts or reapitalising eurozone banks post 2008 ?? absent?, in hiding ?? a prisoner of political fortune ?? Labour were the originators of the do nothing conferences on debts .
Rather biased mental health package on NN , what about mental health cures that dont need drugs ?? mentioned nothing about how many have mental health issues through recreational drugs , and Labours ask frank approach to advice and free use ? I seem to recall prozac was the wonder drug when labour came in , god only knows what alhiezmer pateients have had to endure in terms of cocktail big pharma fixes , soon have that drug that negates christianity , then those that practise it will be deemed , you know medically and scientifically , a bit wrong in the head and outlawed .
Cranmer has interesting bit , but no point in telling Dave and George they seem sure gay marriage is an election winner , all he needs now is to introduce licscenced sharia compliant brothels and smack palaces and he will have truly modernised the conservative brand .
If Dave and george cant make there mind up on when best time is to abondon the EU and UKIP or BNP dont seem comfy then how about a new right party “Noahs ark party” slogan we only get to the end of the rainbow when all the debt has drained away….
