Naming and Shaming the “Morally Repugnant” David Gauke
Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury David Gauke writing in The Times this morning says that they are going to name and shame tax dodgers. He also gives examples of what is fair and what is not:
Legitimate use of reliefs, for example taking out a tax-free ISA, is not tax avoidance. Buying a house for personal use through a company to avoid stamp duty, on the other hand, clearly is. Morally repugnant practices such as this are where the Government is cracking down.
David Gauke MP claimed £10,248.32 expenses back from taxpayers to avoid paying the stamp duty and fees involved in the purchase of his home in London. Not only is that in his own words “morally repugnant”, it is beyond hypocritical to lecture others against doing what he himself did. It is shameless.
Tax avoidance is YOUR duty! #starvethebeast
Who gives a fuck what a load of troughing pigs think
This is straight from Animal Farm
Who is this idiot again?…
Gaukeward innit?
Look proles it’s desperately simple. We need to extract more and more tax in order to waste it on useless shite, err, I mean invest in a future fair for all.
We’re all in it together!
Stones and glass houses…bread and circuses!
Plus ca change.
blah, blah.
OK, if they found all the trillions, what would they do with the taxes?
Spend it all on BMW’s is my favourite.
What do you think they would spend the windfall on?
Would any of it go to the needy?
Suggestions?
We really will have to start hanging these bastards

“The original of amount of council tax owed was £1,500 pounds, at the end of his life the council were seeking £70,000 in interest and legal fees. His GP wrote to the council informing them that his depression was severe but they still pursued him, threatening to evict him from his home, a £200,000 home he owned outright.”
The Olympics are Morally Repugnant
I don’t want pay for posh boys and girls to extend school playtime
small bore shooting, coxless fours, BMX, rythmic gymnanstic – oh please!!!
I can help you there – just give me a full-bore you know what, suitable ammo, and sit back and watch the results.
+1. I’m a traditionalist myself, only a .45 auto would do.
Browning 0.5″ M2 (Heavy Barrel) anyone?
I prefer the classics myself – 9pounder brass muzzle loader with ropes for tying miscreants to the business end before discharging.
so when is this revolution thingy starting?
I am going to sack this man, which should stave off the revolution indefinitely.Or at least until after the Olympics.
The revolution is rather dependent on the proles waking up to the entire westminster LabLibCon scam.
The leaning power of London?
I like that and stealing it.
Look he’s a politician what else do you expect ??
We are all in it together.
The shit, I mean
STFU
Fascist bastard.
Alan Mongbridger at the Guardian mist be gutted, the Mail online makes the same in profit as the Guardian loses

Fat bottomed girls they make the mailonline go round.
Whereas with the Guardian, it’s the fat-bottomed girls that make the losses. Polly and Penny, come on down!
You must be desperate!
Get the name right, please. It’s A nusbridger. OK ?
We should name and shame salad dodgers
funny that the BBC keep managing to mention the clamp down on tax dodgers without mentioning themselves today.
Odd that. Not!
Indeed. No mention of
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2177433/BBC-tells-stars-dodge-tax-Workers-face-ultimatum-books-face-sack.html
either. Like the BBC, Gauke is a hypocrite. It also appears that Zarin Patel, the BBC finance director tells porkies.
Surely somebody from within the Beeb could forward a copy of such a letter to Guido
As one of the posters on there says, they’ve got a brass neck to report on library closures and other cuts when they spend their time dodging paying their fair share of tax. Complete and utter hypocrites.
I hear the UN are to declare the years 2009 – 2012 as the Hypocrite Years.
Plenty of examples with Westminster and the BBC packed full of them.
Cross the pond you will see the same as in Putin’s Russia.
The EU is also dominated by them. Hey Ho.

Keep pay your taxes prolls – it make you happy.
We on the other hand need to keep lining our pockets.
‘twat watch’?
Clear out the stable of all the public-sector free-loaders, ALL are uncaring wasters of the productive economy’s sweat and toil of trying to survive and move onwards !!
It is not possible for anyone associated with the BBC to be seen as a tax dodger, just like it isn’t possible for a black person to be wascist to white people.
It isn’t possible for a socialist to be a hypocrite nor for the Guardian to make a loss. The Guardian is simply re-distributing wealth.
I’d so very very much like to re-distribute you – SHITHEAD!
This is verified by Lee Jasper who advocated the above as on the Moral Maze last week. Listen to the worldly wise Lee Jasper and you wonder why the whole of the UK is not a huge ghetto. How anyone (even Less than Livingstone) could employ such a person is beyond belief.
He’s been flushed out, using our money to feather his nest. A disgrace.
What a toadying little crook!
I have decided to terminate his employment.
will mr awk be naming ‘n’ shaming tax farmers?
or will he go with the Flow (country)?
The political class have squaundered the nations wealth, maxxed out our credit cards, borrowed way too much, stole our grandchildrens savings, destroyed our pensions & are printing money like it is confetti.
And now the bastards want to increase taxes & close legal schemes?
Welcome to East Germany.
Be afraid.
I love you – and your comments. Always apposite, always valuable for the thought they engender. (Are those words too ‘big’ or ‘long’ for Guido’s blog?)
East Germany had its nice points – such as all those beautiful concrete housing estates.
Like the ones my developer chummies will be allowed to build all over the Chilterns, with a gloriously expensive and wholly unnecessary HS2 railway roaring through the middle of it. What what.
I’m so looking forward to
the backhandersit.Toodle pip!
Surely, Sandra, all the things you refer to happened under a Labour Government.
It’s interesting that in the Mail article, the presenter says it wasn’t the practice to dodge tax in the commercial media, but it was at the BBC. Just the opposite of what you would expect. Says a lot about the ‘ethos’ of public servants at the BBC, doesn’t it?
“Surely, Sandra, all the things you refer to happened under a Labour Government.”
They did indeed, the point is two and a half years later, they still continue. What is worse, none in the coalition of fabians intends to stop the utter fiscal madness and r4pe of taxpayers money.
….. and when did the “Bonfire of the Quangos” happen? Was it whilst I was away on holiday in Scotland?
“David Gauke MP claimed £10,248.32 expenses back from taxpayers to avoid paying the stamp duty and fees involved in the purchase of his home in London”.
It is within the rules.
So is the public telling you that you are a hypocritical Shylock fuckwit, and its people like you that make the general public hate politicians with a vengeance.
Have a great day!
Don’t forget that as Chancellor I also flipped my homes!
All tax avoidance is within the rules you idiot. That is why it is not called tax evasion which is illegal. Maybe if you idiots produced better laws there would be less tax avoidance. But since you did not, maybe you should shut up.
Think of the lawyers family and putting caviar on the tables, how can they make any money if they don’t draw up laws full of holes.
We are above the law. Houseflipping on a gigantic scale is within our rules as we made them and can vote for use to have more money and priviledges- so there!
So we are hated more than loan sharks, journalists, used car salesmen – who cares? We don’t as we make the rules.

need a flat tax…
So is using every legitimate dodge in the book to minimise one’s taxes.
This web site is getting too close to the truth, and will receive any time now a take down notice. All regular users on here will be tracked down and silenced. You have been warned.
“David Gauke MP claimed £10,248.32 expenses back from taxpayers to avoid paying the stamp duty and fees involved in the purchase of his home in London.”
I am entitled to that money.
“David Gauke MP claimed £10,248.32 expenses back from taxpayers to avoid paying the stamp duty and fees involved in the purchase of his home in London.”
I deserve that money.
It is my destiny
Your destiny is my destiny. You’re fired.
“David Gauke MP claimed £10,248.32 expenses back from taxpayers to avoid paying the stamp duty and fees involved in the purchase of his home in London”.
I required that taxpayer money to do my job.
Nasty loathsome hypocrite!
BBC R4 this morning (no doubt reading a government statement – talk about Pravda) reports that the government is going to “clamp down on aggressive tax avoidance schemes”, that are not illegal but “morally wrong”.
Who gets them to read out this drivel? What the f…k are they going to do about “aggressive” tax avoidance if it’s perfectly legal.
This is so reminiscent of Stalin’s show trials (good account in Eastern Approaches, by Fitzroy Maclean) powerful people confessing to something they haven’t done (and being executed in Russia, but sadly not here).
And, and what’s wrong with avoiding paying tax?
As Lord Reid (I think it was) said in the 1950s a man is not obliged to give the revenue a bigger shovel to dig into his income than the law requires.
Noted this new phrase too: “aggressive Tax Avoidance” – what’s the definition of that then? Presumably Tax Avoidance above anything that the BBC staff can get away with. One rule for us, one rule for Jimmy Carr (‘cos ee’s Middle Class)
No really the whole abusive tax avoidance scam machine is completely out of hand. Firms that propose these should be fined 10% of the intended tax saving if the scheme is turned down. We could have saved masses of tax by the Employee Benefit Trust scam and we refused – Rangers alone diddled HMRC of c£40M from this.
You got it the wrong way around, government theft, spending and waste are out of control.
Ask Mr Repugnant why HMRC don’t require persons to provided details of mortgages,loans and credit cards on their tax returns ? If you want to catch tax dodgers of all shades this is a very good place to start ! It won’t cost anything and the millions who have declared different incomes to lender and HMRC will be exposed. This will include all those on the public and Government payroll including > tax, police, prisons, customs etc plus of all the fraudulent lending to everyone else !
“it won’t cost anything”
Don’t be silly.
We’ll do it – cheap!
To David Gauke:
Is it your job to vilify people who are doing nothing wrong?
Anyway, why should I contribute towards paying the tax (stamp duty) on buying your house? If you rented, or stayed in a hotel you wouldn’t have to pay that.
Is it not “aggressive tax avoidance”?
Toady, I am going to be a Fairy and wear a Fairy Dress with Wings and I’m going to touch people and things with my Magic Wand and go “Poof”! – and things will turn to gold and be just as I want them to be!
And my World is a World of Tax – where Tony and all the morally repugnant creatures that tipped me out of Office pay extortionate Taxes.
SO THERE!!
Where’s my Willy?
up your arse dear – haven’t you noticed?
SHAMBOLIC !!
Hope you have a similar vid about about David Gauke, as there is not much info available about his back ground, which, given his out of touch statement, I presume is similar to the Ball’s.
Have they never heard of the laffer curve
Mummy got us the Olympics, and now Daddy’s going to buy me a seat in Parliament. Isn’t life wonderful! I’m off clubbing, see you later.
Do you think your father could buy me a seat too?
I am delighted to announce that G4S will be providing security services for none other than David Gauke !
One could only hope this was true!
Come on guys, he can’t be all bad.
By all accounts he was seen giving 10p to a homeless guy at Kings Cross, have a heart.
I claimed it as Gift Aid
Errrrrrr. Yet still. Guido will not mention Priti Patel, Tory MP for Witham. 45 miles from Westminster, who has routinely claimed car hire expenses, at £180 a day. Train is £16 return.
Coo-eee Moussa
Errrrrr. Who provides you with the means??
Mention another site / publication which would give your points such coverage.
Thanks Guido
Racist !
Sad sad little boy SAS Snot, Go back to the beano blog
We need a Whitehall Killer like the Colorado one. Lying, hypocrits like Gaulkey should be the first to get a slug from a pump action shotgun,,in the guts so they die slowly.
As for us so called tax cheats,,,hey Mutherfuckers I cheat as often as possible and always pay cash with NO VAT to tradesmen etc.
Tell you what I would help subsidise, a large dirty Bomb to be plannted in the middle of Whitehall.
The British Political class are the thieves and have been stealing off us true Brits ever since I can remember.
What kind of Bastards would send foreign people who served in our forces back home,,yet keep theiving, murdering illegal immigrants, mostly muslims in the UK.
Unfortunately, the kind that no longer work for us.
Name and shame tax dodgers.
The list can start with:-
1. Guido Fawkes
2. Iain Dale.
…..
Yeap….very true
Funny I cant seem to recall either of these being MP’s
MPs
Them as well
Tory blogger Guido Fawkes is a “TAX AVOIDER”, as is Ex Tory Blogger Iain Dale….FACT
I’m also a tax avoider. I’ve got PEPs and ISAs.
Bless him Sas Snot is trying
Moussa Koussa, do keep up. What the knid gentlemen here are annoyed about is not tax avoidance but somehting called hyprocracy. Now I know that’s a big word …..
As an expert in such matters I can conform it is spelt as hypocrisy.
But the tweet is clearly a joke. That doesn’t happen.
It’s a giant apple turnover.
Did someone say doughnut?
Doughnuts? Now you’re talking, lad!
Never mind all this what about my Lords reforms?
What about going and living in Spain, Dutchman?
was about to email you this info, then hey presto his face was on your blog! until elected in 2005 he worked for Macfarlanes a city law firm (which he does not mention by name on his biog) and from their website today “With the introduction of a 50 per cent income tax rate, we are increasingly being asked to advise on remuneration planning. We have significant expertise in this area.”
and “We also have considerable experience in advising on transactions to reset underwater management equity and in devising new management equity packages in “loan to own” transactions.”
so he will be ringing up his old colleagues first to tell them to stop this morally repugnant work…..
If only the MSM would pich up on this.
Letter to the Times PKH?
“nd thought The Mail.
I wish to ask a question of you cursed infidels. My cell and I will be blowing up your decadent westrern Olympic games. One of your helpful G4S guards helped us park the van full of Semtex. But when please is the womens beach volleyball? My brother Ali has Sky 3D and he wants us to wait till after that is over before raining fire on the western devils.
I support you, my muslim superior. I hate islamaphobes and frankly, the murder of a few thousand people is a small price to pay to be right-on and accepting of your religion and traditions. It would be raycist to try and stop you from killing us westerners who deserve everything we get.
Good! Now go out and fight with the EDL while completely ignoring anything we say or do.
It occurs to me that this threat should be reported. It may be irony, but it may not.
Nothing to worry about – nobody was called ‘Black’. So thats alright then.
I have decided to sack this creep. Not.
Whilst David Gauke remains as Exchequer Secretary,there is no doubt that the UK will request a full Sovereign bail out from the EU.
Tally Ho !
Unfortunately, we don’t have a spare £1trillion sloshing around with which to bail-out Brown’s debt catastrophe.
Just print some
So we pay maximum tax, while they pay tax “within the rules” fckem.
You call it ‘paying tax’, I call it ‘having my wages stolen’.
O/T
Nothing in the UK MSM about Gibralter being repeatedly invaded by the dagos!
Are these ok?
Paying into a pension, including using “carry forward”
VCT’s/EIS’
Sideways loss relief
Taper relief
Where do you draw the line? If it’s legal and doesn’t involve you simply not paying a tax for which you are liable, then everything is fair game in my opinion.
Breaking the 11th commandment, is what he got wrong poor thing, he’ll be inconsolable.
Still, start again, there’s always some other peculation to keep the taxman away and so much scope David. Now – there, there and chin up and just carry on – ‘sticking’ the Exchequer, it’s what you all do.
I invented the communications satellite.
..-. ..- -.-. -.- — ..-. ..-.
If you’re ” off the books ” at the BBC then presumably the fee payers do not have to pay for Gold standard, Wind-farm supporting, pensions.
We need to do the sums.
Fuck off, Gauke.
I have paid fucking staggering amounts of income tax, CGT and IHT over the years only for you incompetent cockends in gummint to spunk it up the fucking wall. Now I use legitimate tax avoidance measures, and pay through the fucking nose for it too. But- it works. I still pay tax, but if you try this fucking “name n’ shame” tactic of using tribunals so that names and reputations can be smeared, then the wife & I, and thousands like us, will just up and fucking leave the country, taking our wealth with us.
Do you understand that, dickcheese? I fucking thought not.
Tax supports the people in life who are not prepared to support themselves. The little darlings.
…Politics is a hypocrite’s paradise…
What’s wrong with that?
At the risk of being accused of being simple minded… I wish EVERYONE would cut the crap on this topic. If tax is avoided legally, well that’s what accountants are FOR! Make avoidance which is considered unfair or unreasonable ILLEGAL. Change the law… and then shut up about it.
He’s Dumb
He just thinks the rest of are Dumber.
Dodgey
Dodgey
But was it within the Rules Guido? One rule for the great and the good and the plebs follow on. bet hes got a ticket for the Games
I mean now do me a favour all these political dishonourables, go out and talk and talk without thinking. Otherwise how could this super nose in the trougher try to do the old do as I say not as I do (or have done/will carry on doing) routine, particularly when his lady at home is a super sly tax lawyer. Wonderful stuff when all is revealed and he has the egg all over his dishonourable tie! Really these geezers must think we are all idiots.
Are they brain dead?
Tax us less! Scrap stamp duty and as much of the rest as soon as you can.
Slash employment law whilst you are at it.
If you want a Greek style economy where tax avoidance is a national pastime then ignore the Laffer curve, go right on increasing taxes, encouraging a society where enterprise is scorned, envy is all that remains and look forward to an IMF bailout. Lord knows we’ve put enough in.
You sure are leading there George. Anyone for quantitative easing? Dork. With my money.
Guido should tell us if he is a tax avoider.I really hope that he is not. He must tell us.
This is the same Gauke who claimed morally wrong expenses and had to repay them. £17 on pepper pot.
Yet another bent politician talking bollox knobhead
The same Gauke who from 1999 to 2005, worked for a firm of solicitors who “Specialise in Tax Efficient Structuring”.
The same Gauke married to Mrs Gauke who works as a lawyer for Lexis Nexis who ““support every tax practitioner on the front line as they deal with the tax collector“.
The same Gauke who claimed £10,248.32 expenses back from taxpayers to avoid paying the stamp duty and fees involved in the purchase of his home in London.
Hat tip Guido Fawkes.
Its a reminder of the time when Major was PM spouting about morality and family values etc while some of his ministers like the horrible David Mellor were fornicating complete with a Chelsea football jersey.
Well Gauke I always pay cash (no VAT) and will continue to do so fuck you and the rest of the political classes (Middle finger digit extended) and, if in your opinion I am morally wrong, at least I am not a two faced hypocrit like you.
I think the man who, many moons ago, said that the Tory Party was the “Stupid Party” was correct because Gauke and the PM Compo Cameron are the latest in a long line of silly Tories.
I bet the Cameroid wants to shoot this idiot already.
That’s the amazing thing about politicians… just when you think you’ve seen the worst, the most incompetent, the most hypocrtitical, the most self serving, or the most stupid MP in your life another fucking example pops up from the population of 646 to prove you were wrong.
The fact that this arsehole got on his hobby horse about this in the full knowledge that the press would dig into his background and expose it just proves how unsuitable he is as an MP.
Regardless I feel somewhat sure that the middle class voters for SW Herts will gladly get rid of this moron next time around whilst continuing to pay thier builders in cash regardless of his opinions.
All it shows to me is that this MP is just like all the rest of them ,he really doesnt care what people think.They are arrogant in the extreme,a dishonourable lot.
