World Exclusive: Jean Michel Jarre Says Au Revoir Socialism
Rock Star’s Secret Downing Street Talks About London Move
Jean Michel Jarre, the only French global rock star, has been into Downing Street to discuss moving to London to escape Francois Hollande’s tax hikes. The French President wants confiscatory 75% tax rates for high earners.
In secrecy Jarre recently visited Number 10 to discuss his “defection”. The news that Downing Street is involved in discussions with another high profile tax exile from France will cause outrage in the Elysee Palace. Gerard Depardieu’s planned flight from Paris to a small village less than half a mile across the Belgian border caused an uproar and French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault went so far as to call him “pathetic.”
Depardieu countered that “I am leaving because you believe that success, creation, talent, anything different must be sanctioned”. Cinema legends such as Brigitte Bardot and Catherine Denueve quickly jumped in with statements of support for Depardieu. The rock star’s move comes shortly after Bernard Arnault, CEO of luxury giant LVMH and France’s richest man, national hero Johnny Hallyday and actor Alain Delon have also left France for tax reasons. London estate agents report French investment bankers, private equity financiers and high paid entrepreneurs making inquiries.
When Hollande announced his 75% tax rate plan Cameron joked that he would “roll out the red carpet” for French tax exiles to the expressed annoyance of the Elysee Palace. French ministers widely criticised Cameron. The news that it was not mere rhetoric and Downing Street would literally welcome French rock star tax exiles onto the red carpet at No. 10 will infuriate President Hollande…
UPDATE: Downing Street were at lunchtime knocking down this story, by late afternoon they changed their synthesiser tune and said Jarre was indeed in talks to move his technology company to the government sponsored Tech City in London. Where the taxes are lower…
Guido’s Downing Street source says “He’s been into No. 10 to talk to us about defection – it’s like a crappy old spy movie…” The channel replacing the Berlin Wall, with French capitalists fleeing socialist France for freedom…
Jean Michel Jarre ?
He’s been dead for years surely ?
Is he mad? He’ll be giving 45% of his wonga away if he comes to London. He should join me and Lewis Hamilton in Switzerland and keep the lot.
Bonkers stark raving bonkers. Monaco is the place to be and commute to London on a private jet. Jensen Button agrees.
No, it’s Dubai, Jim Davidson agrees with me!
You forget le status non-domicile, mes amis.
Oi, Napoleon! Did you pay non-dom tax from St. Helena?
Say Non! to JJM. Tony Blair rocks! I want to suck his cock.
Zis English laissez faire – Degolas!
Mais moi, je suis evidence,

Premier Inn!
Are these the new Huguenots?
Why are we so happy to accommodate these people.
They are competing for our scarce resources.
My maid had to queue for an extra 20 minutes at Selfridges food hall last week.
Do you think voting UKIP might help?
Excuse me, young man, do you have fat balls?
It’s a french invasion by stealth. Last french invasion was in Fishguard in 1797, don’t you know – was a disaster. Lost to a bunch of women in welsh costumes – very embarrassing for the french.
Geedy Git.
He is coming here to take advantage of start up grants in the East End.
We paid for that.
I’m a Scottish Nationalist but I live in the Bahamas for tax reasons.
I’m a bit of a twunt aren’t I
?
Never mind, I can imagine Wee Eck giving reduced tax rates to “encourage the arts in Scotland” i.e. to get tax exiles to return so he can claim they are doing it purely because of their support for the SNP – didn’t Ireland do something like that for a time?
Yes, he is the most annoying of the lot! Lewis lives abroad, keeps his head down and saves a load on tax. But Connery is such a ‘Nationalist’ that he keeps piping up whenever the question arises, yet has never contributed to Scotland, even as Alex Salmond runs the country. He is anti-English too, which makes his hypocrisy far worse!
yes and no loss
Whatever happened to ‘Green Banking’?
What do you think happened to Green banking ?
Sean, you would be a twunt if you lived in Scotland.
Shite climate, shite government and most of the denizens live on benefits.
Head Office to most Scottish folk is where they pick up their benefit cheques.
Aye, we’re a’ on the brew.
Sir Phillip, french citizens don’t have any tax advantages by going to Monaco because of a fiscal agreement with France dating back to 1962.
French citizens pay French income tax if living in Monaco, unlike any others. Guernsey would be a better bet.
Absolutely, this looks, feels and smells like a Number 10 planted ‘story’ rather like the ‘I need 17 inches’ Spelman dross, during the wettest ‘drought’ in human history.
Dave’s minders are getting desperate and trying to pretend he’s not a tax and spend socialist pick pocket, like dozy Hollande, when we can all see he is.
My thoughts exactly.
Can’t be true as we have said nothing about it.
Low fruit really, I read somewhere that Jarre’s wife is English so they have already semi-defected once. Must be in the Oxy-genes.
He would be a non Dom not a British tax payer
Only the little (rather than tiny tiny) millionaire’s pay 45% tax.
Well Done Mr Cameron:
Smiths poster on uni wall.
Support The Villa (don’t make Blair A C L’s mistake and assume everyone supports Man U, then have to change to Newcastle).
Get The People’s Installation Concept Artist to do a signature art thing for downing street.

But I thought there was a story in yesterdays DT saying that the 75% tax won’t be implemented?
France’s highest court rules proposed 75pc supertax rate unconstitutional
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/9771035/Frances-highest-court-rules-proposed-75pc-supertax-rate-unconstitutional.html
Une ou deux technicalities were the problem. These will be ‘tweaked’ so that the 75% confiscation of earnings can go ahead.
I think that in fairness, in return, Cameron should let Hollande have some of the benefit tourists that have arrived here. They can take advantage of the huge increases that the cheese eating benefits monkeys are enjoying under Hollande’s utopie socialiste
I hate the rich. That’s why I want to soak ‘em. And Barack Obama does too, I’m not the only one around here. But I’m the only one with balls enough to want to gouge out three-quarters, whilst “BO” is willing to settle for about 40%. And seeing as how we mentioned Balls, if he ever got in as Chancellor he’d want to do just like me if he thought he could ever get away with it. You know he would. Maybe not quite 75%, maybe at a higher threshhold, but a shedload more than that lightweight in America wants!
President Barack Obamarama is earning $76,000 per month on a independent government paid investment vehicle that is not even mentioned by our left wing financial pundits, as they, and you, are defending him without knowing or wanting to reveal the facts.
do us a favour mate, tell me how you define ritch, I’d hate to be hated by you by accident
is earning £35k alright with you?
cheers!
The report that I read said that it was only a temporary delay and the 75% tax would be implemented during 2013.
Quite right sir. We have our best left wing economists on it and even consulting with your genius Gordon Brown as to how to implement it.
There was just a little bit of wording missing, which can be fixed shortly.
Also – the 75% is most emphatically not the upper limit.
The French have never learnt to do proper pop music, have they?
No, but at least they don’t have to put up with the drivel we have to sustain from X-factor, Britain’s Got Talent, & similar factory-fodder ‘music’.
Neither did we.
Nor us.
We got it right this time.
Tres Vrai.
But you inglish keep looking at my videos.
We (and companies) should not be taxed at all when we earn.
Government spend should be reduced to 20% of GDP, then it could be paid for with VAT and excise duties.
If I had any money I would do the tax run myself
Non! Nous ne sommes pas d’accord.
PS: Anybody seen Maurice Chevalier around lately? Has he gone of with ze leetle gerls who get beegair every day? Qu’est-ce qu’il veut dire?
thank heaven

Can you bring Sylvie Vartan with you too please?!
Fucking Plonka. Why is he moving to a country that will tax him at 45% ?
Give uz ur monie
Je pars à Sainte-Hélène !
Died through lack of oxygene.
That’ll get him off the BBC’s playlist.
I don´t think he has been on it for ages, sadly!
He’s dull.
Why would he need to ”discuss” a move to the UK with Downing steet?
He doesn’t, that’s why this ‘story’ is utter horse shite.
Because they’ll be talking about a swop for Piers Morgan.
Non.
If Dave was persuading a few people who actually make their money in the UK to come back and pay full taxes, like Richard Branson….or Google and Starbucks, to move their HQs here and pay full tax, I’d be more impressed.
Perhaps Dave thinks that Jean and Michel(le) are 2 little maids from school…
Can’t really criticise cast iron dave for his roll out the ‘red’ carpet (a nice irony) quote.
Looks like it will pay off, and piss off the ‘reds’ in the EUSSR.
Double claret’s all round.
Its a piffling achievement. When he repatriates our contributions to the EU I will be applauding.
I don’t quite understand why he should need to go to Downing Street to effect a very straightforward move that any person living within the Treaty of Rome area has been able to make for years as a matter of right.
Could it possibly be to do with posturing by one side, the other or both?
Or he was there for anything to do with taxes?
He must be an arse bandit then!
Even if that were the case, does every tax deal need to be cut at Downing Street level?
IMHO the only thing that still occurs within politics nowadays is posturing.
He should have gone for a nice meal with HMRC who, I am sure, would be happy to oblige with a Vodafone-style arrangement for reduced taxes.
This may seem simple, but is actually complicated. The amount of tax payable is haggled down over the meal and depends on a complex formula which includes the stars/rating of the restaurant, the number of courses, the wines on offer and so forth, various bunts and inducements and, of course, the length of the meal.
Good heavens! Are you attempting to suggest that the tax payable is in inverse proportion to the Brätwurst proffered?
Mein Gott in Himmel!
Because it gives Cameron a chance to show what happens when Socialist governments bring in high tax rates and it gives Jarre a chance to put up two fingers to the French government.
Yep. All PR and no substance.
PR + substance actually
Watch it mate or I’ll set my kangaroo on you. This is one of my first wonder moves in restoring Mr Cameron to popularity.
British jobs for British workers
Making didgeridoos?
The only way for Cameron to become popular now is to give an EU referendum in this parliament, or to undergo Sepukku.
But I thought the 75% tax law has been stuck down?
Nope, looks like it become unstuck again.
Perhaps he’s planning on throwing another spectacular outdoor concert, as he did in Docklands in 1988.
I was there.
Were you starved of Oxygene?
no, just decent music
Me too, aged 16
Was it a rock concert?
looking back, it was rather naff, wasnt it?
Ribbit!
I’m an over taxed froggie…ribbet…GET ME OUT OF HERE!
@9,@41 why are you pretending to be Californian Tree Frogs? Only they go ‘ribbit’. Hollywood dupes to you both.
Ribbet is more easily recognised – call it poetic licence if you will
anyway, no one likes a pedant

It’s good to see Hollande’s quote from the Olympics coming back to haunt him.
Today it’s exodus for tax, tomorrow it will be when the UK leaves the EU and becomes an overnight success again while the EU wallows in the pit of social engineering they created for themselves.
Pleased to read in the Times we are about to downgrade our EU membership to associate status. I trust the annual fees will be more reasonable.
Zero, for example.
French farmers will have a lot to worry about when we stop subsidizing them.

Is it because we is 99% white?
It’s probably because we don’t complain about having to walk around barefoot. Stockings and shoes just make all the fur sweaty and rank-smelling, and we can’t be arsed to shave our feet all the time just to keep the shaving foam, razor blade, and footwear industries in business. Plus, they’d itch like a sonofabitch if we did.
We have a solution.
So do I. And the beauty of it is, you only have to do it the one time.
Yes and it stings like fuck, ‘specially on the scrotum.
Kim Kardashian’s expected baby will be sucking on tits which some here would no doubt give their eye teeth for…
Kim Kardashian is that bird who features in the Daily Mail sometimes,by which I mean every fucking day.
I wish the DM would cut loose it’s ‘Femail’ section load of old shit that it is.
Most successful on-line paper in the world and makes a profit.
Can’t knock it (and I am talking of the MailOnline, not Ms Kardashian…)
Well they can at least rename the ‘female’ section to ‘I’m fat and proud….ooh have you seen the size of her arse?section.
Yes, I have.
Isn’t it fantastic?
I keep reading about these Kardashians. Weren’t they something to do with Star Trek?

Perhaps Afghanistan should set itself up as a tax haven. Imagine the smug looks as they wheel their crocodile-skin luggage out of Kabul airport.
Great idea – unless you’re female – no woman likes getting acid chucked in her face by a 3rd wolrd barbarian rag-head just for reading a book
Dave kissing frogs must surely be an alltime low.
Not completely true if you kiss the right frog.
Shit, when I moved to France it didn’t occur to me to tell Sarkozy.
I missed out on a trip to the Elysee Palace.
Nah, you didn’t miss much. It’s all boring chandeliers, red carpets and Napoleonic crap furniture. Better off visiting the Folies…
What about the £25 billion annually lost from tax avoidance, eh Iain Duncan Smith? http://www.tuc.org.uk/touchstone/Missingbillions/1missingbillions.pdf …
Owen, sit up and pay attention. Tax avoidance is not illegal. Money is not “lost” to the economy if it isn’t given to the government. The local Cat’s Home has not “lost” money just because I haven’t made a donation.
Perhaps the TUC should tell us what they think about Arthur Scargill demanding his union pay £34,000 rent a year for his “London pied a terre”.
There are lots of working class people in this country who would like to be paid £34k a year let alone have it paid for as rent.
Did I say you could use my laptop?
Not thieving something is not “a loss”, it just means the troughers can’t get their hands on it.
Tax avoidance, good; Tax avoidance bad.
monsieurhollande reminds me of our very own gordon albeit without the social ineptitude.
His socialist policies are leading france into a nasty black hole similar to the one gordon left us in.
Maybe his definition of socialism is not “running out of other peoples money” but “they’re running out with their money”.
Why don’t we donate Gordon as his Chancellor. He could then sell their gold back to us at a knock down price.
L’histoire se répète

BBC News – The right wing political blogger,Guido Fawkes, condemns David Cameron as “not fit for purpose”.
Guido Fawkes is right!
we have been saying this for the last 2 years. He is a media man that’s all, just like Blair, and he blows in the wind. He actually hates the conservative associations and activists. He just wanted to be prime minister, because he thought he would be good at it and be able to get on the telly every day!. He certainly does that but not much else really.
He will never win in 2015, never! But the tories can always change leader, they are good at that!
Hear, hear!

Did someone mention blowing in the wind – like a syrup!
Get this for a quote from The Sunday Post of 2nd September 2012- The SP inevstigates the truth behind Windfarms / Turbines:-
Quote of the last few months IMHO
Sub heading ‘Scotland is being destroyed’
“Tycoon Donald Trump warns windfarms will destroy Scottish tourism and bankrupt the country. Speaking exclusively to The Sunday Post, the American entrepreneur said “It’s very sad Scotland is being destroyed by windfarms. The magnificant countryside is going to be ruined. It’s the biggest asset you have and they’re going to destroy it.”
Mr Trump got involved with the battle against windfarms after plans to erect turbines in the sea near his luxury golf course resort in Aberdeenshire were announced. He added “The only thing renewable is that you’re going to have to renew the turbines every five years because they’ll disintegrate and fall apart. By that time Scotland will be broke”
75% isn’t enough. Tax high earners at 99%.
The Beatles wrote a song about the taxman. What was the rate then, 19/6d in the pound?* Was it not called “Super Tax”? Was it not one of Harold Wilson’s ideas?
* For those of you who have been state educated in the last fifteen years, a tax of 19/6d (nineteen shillings and sixpence) is the equivalent of 97.5 pence in the pound. For those state educated in the last ten years, it’s a lot of money.
Loadsamoney !
Just vote me in and it’s a done deal.
Samantha has gone shopping and gave me vague instruction – “please do something useful while I’m out” So far I’ve had a shit and made a coffee.
but they will be paying that over here after the 2015 election any way!
1. labour will introduce that rate.
2. Even if they don’t they will sign up to a federal Europe any way and so it will happen that way.
The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest possible amount of feathers with the smallest possible amount of hissing.
Where did you cut and past that from?
Take a wild fucking guess
Surely J M Jarre would best be talking with Ed Millionaireband as to what the tax rate for the rich will be in around 30 months time?
Britain will never leave the EU and you will never ever get a referendum.
The rich political elite of this country, along with big business, will never allow it, no matter what!
This is a fact, it just won’t happen!
Sadly I think it’s true too.
So do I…
The City has spoken on this…
Banks fear ‘risk to City’ of EU exit
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/9771147/Banks-fear-risk-to-City-of-EU-exit.html#
And the libertarian LibLabConners will do what their paymasters tell them.
The only problem is that the City masters of the universe don’t like much the noises about EU financial regulation either…
“Asked about reports that the UK could eventually leave the European Union, this is how the Chancellor responded: “I certainly hope not. It’s my intention to make sure it does not. I absolutely believe Britain’s future lies in its membership of the European Union.”
They may not have heard them (I’m not sure how many City grandees have PBS on their favourites) but Mr Osborne’s comments will be welcomed by many in the Square Mile.”

That’s when the peasants revolt
It will only happen if UKIP get in power. Too many idiots voting for the Liblabconners is the only thing that is keeping us in the EU.
And what will happen if UKIP are in power and we leave the EU? No, keep voting Liblabcon and keep all that money rolling into our part of the world from The Exchequer and Brussels!
We are not contributors but recipients.
You speak as a slave – shame on you if you call yourself English
Tory HQ whip out their cock and Guido opens his mouth. It’s utterly nonsensical for anyone, let alone a celeb hasbeen, to hold talks with a prime minister about moving to his country. But it lets Guido put World Exclusive on it, while the rest of the world just shrugs its shoulders.
I agree. On the other hand, it also shows how close to the bottom of the barrel Dave has got. The man is desperate to try a stunt like this.
And it upsets you so, twat.
On average, undergraduate students who major in economics have more sex partners than those studying any other subject.
That’s because nobody will shag them a second time.
I’ve been paying tax in the UK since 1978 but have yet to have an invitation to Downing Street. Isn’t there something a bit seedy about rich foreigners going to Downing Street to say how they want their tax affairs to be dealt with?
This is rather unseemly poaching of taxpayers from France. I’m sure that Hollande can mess up his country perfectly well on his own,
I agree. Why isn’t Cameron inviting normal British people round for discussions on the tax system? Oh, I forgot, you have to pay him £250,000 for that privilege.
Labour and Tories have been happy to flood the UK with poor immigrants from alien cultures, it makes a nice change to see a few rich ones from the same European culture. Enjoy!
Cameron is not fit for purpose, just like the rest of our bunch of rich political elite tossers!
Never had to earn revenue in their lives, they just take it off the taxpayers, like benefit scroungers do!
I want to pave the streets with gold and hand everyone a £ million every week.
Perhaps some politicians say anything and promise everything until they get into power
We seem to have given away £10bn to fraudsters under the Labour flagship policies …..
Lower taxes (and lower government spending) help create growth and prosperity. The dire results of Labour’s raising the upper rate tax band to 50% are now being seen.
Shrinking government will the trigger growth in the real economy.
The ability to reduce certain aspects of taxation as Farage suggests will play a large part in this.
Cammo’s giving the ‘rich’ cheques for £40 k each, so he’s made a start Jackyboy innit?
Excellent propaganda, your pay will be doubled komrade!
The Prime Minister holding ‘secret talks’ with a French entertainer who wants to pay less tax? Is this really what the Prime Minister gets paid to do nowadays?

Just why should any of the medal winners at the olympics get on the honours list any way? Subsidised by the national lottery any way, all on their way to being rich and the medals they won should be enough, it s a fuckin disgrace! Half of them don’t even live in our country anyway!
Rather have them there on the list than Cherie Blair!
You want to encourage 1000’s of Frenchies to migrate to the UK.
So while IDS cuts tax credits, he will be helping millionare Foreigners to come to UK
GO FOR IT !!!!!!!
Unlike you, they’ll be net contributors.
errrrr most Tax Credit receivers are ALSO contributors. You can receive TC if family income is up to £50K.
So a man on £25K, and his wife on £25K, one child. Receive some TC . They will now soon lose thi, while french millionares will be helped to settle in London
Keep up the good work neo nuts
The idea of taxing everybody, including the low paid, and then creating thousands of pointless jobs to people to give them some of it back by apathetic, lazy state workers is not just nuts. It is moronic.
Yes, but by giving them safe jobs in the public sector and gold plated pensions (paid for by everyone else) they will be greatful and vote Labour because of the risk the Tories will suss them out and get rid of them.
Testicular nonsense Mk
“”"”London estate agents report French investment bankers, private equity financiers and high paid entrepreneurs making inquiries.”"”

I think not

He has obviously forgotten the days when Brown was boasting about how much these bankers, entrepreneurs and financiers, etc were contributing to the British treasury in taxes.
You don’t think, you mean!
Yeah Moussa, what did we fucking immigrants ever do for you.
History not your strongest subject is it.
The French are not exactly unknown in England mon ami.
Money, money, money he’s got some money, to bribe a PM he don’t care, what next did he buy a British passport as well, I thought they were giving them away with houses and money as they went through “customs” as usual us ethnics get stitched up.

Nice to see Dave with so much time to spare

Still, after such debilitating talks as that
He’d best rest and hand things back to Larry the cat
Ça sent le roussi.
Depardieu countered that “I am leaving because you believe that success, creation, talent, anything different must be sanctioned”. Cinema legends such as Brigitte Bardot and Catherine Denueve quickly jumped in with statements of support for Depardieu… London estate agents report French investment bankers, private equity financiers and high paid entrepreneurs making inquiries.
The thing is, though, that investment bankers and rivate equity financiers can hardly be described as talented and creative people. Lucky chancers usually. And, as 2008 showed, not particularly bright as well.
You are obviously not bright enough to remember the days when Brown was boasting about how much these bankers, entrepreneurs and financiers, etc were contributing to growth and the British treasury in taxes.

Just another disaster in the making for Dave. Go on admit it the man is fu*cking hopeless.
He will use this story to justify tax cuts for the wealthy… another nail in his electoral coffin.
He will use this story to justify bankers and city types getting tax free bonuses…another nail in his electoral coffin .
An influx of French nationals will see his migration targets rise…another nail in his electoral coffin
Pandering to wealthy foreigners…again !!!!!
GO FOR IT
Not forgetting your mates in Labour who opened the doors to economic migrants
LOL
….and of course Dave closed the door…nope, pushed it further open, and is now beginning to take the door off its hinges.
Must try harder neo nuts
Typical…. admit nothing, deny everything and blame someone else !!
Don’t worry, most of us will remember it was Labour who created the “unfit for purpose” UK Border Agency in 2008, just after signing away our rights to control our own borders to an unelected and unaccountable EEC
But he is not pandering as much as Labour did for 13 years when the top tax rate was 40%. Why do you think Labour allowed the rich to get so much tax free for so long? Was it incompetence or the obvious fact that it would damage the country’s finances?
Predictable MK and quite boring

The time has long passed for politicians to stop being ‘generous’ with other people’s money. This is treason.
Predictions anyone
Another 10,000 French nationals in London by end of 2013…Wives, children etc. Further strain on housing, schools, NHS etc
This is of course amusing that they have jobs to go to. Oh yes – they will be taking British jobs too…LOL
GO FOR IT

Yes. Are you a racist ?

Sensible man! At that time, the marginal rate of tax was 98p in the pound. I would have done exactly the same in his circumstances.
Yes I did, but I still come back to England to buy my cough drops because they are cheaper here.
but it’s alright now, in fact it’s a gas
Mick Jagger is a gobby twat. Most ‘rock stars’ are.

Ok let’s play a game… What’s first UK news that will hit our screens on January 1st 2013 ?
1: Cilla Black involved in Jimmy Saville p*do ring.
2: Jedward ousted as Lesbians
3: David Cameron backs British people for British jobs
Latest betting odds are
Number 1- 5/2
Number 2- 3/1
Number 3 – 1000000/1
British jobs for British workers !!!
He misread his notes. They actually read British jobs for Polish, Latvian, Nigerian, Ghanaian, Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi workers.
Anyone else noticed how all the Australians have fucked off?
If you look carefully you can see his leash
I thought that was part of the bracket that the unions used to pull his strings
Entire population of UK to be sent on Common Purpose training courses.
That would be scary …
What do you mean ….’to be sent’? We’ve had eighty years of the BBC training broadcast through every house in the country.
But, for £145 a year, it really is very good value.
My prediction is that the IRA scum will herald the UK City of Culture 2013 in Londonderry with a bomb
We are not sure yet but we will probably mention Thatcher

Rich people can afford to hire clever accountants and if that doesn’t work, they can afford to move abroad. Meanwhile foreign businesses thinking of investing in your country are going to look elsewhere if there are draconian tax rates.
It’s shit politics. It guarantees less money for the treasury and consequent tax hikes for the poor because the State won’t spend less merely because less money is coming in. Along with all-powerful unions, it nearly crippled us in the 60′s and 70′s. Hollande must be insane to be copying Wilson.
The poor do not pay taxes, they have lots of benefits…… it is the workers and squeezed Middle Classes that are hit the hardest…..
And why? Because that’s where the numbers are. Rich people aer very few in number compared to the bulk of the tax contributing population, not because of tax avoidance, but because there really aren’t that many of them. They do not matter in the overall tax take.
No such thing as a clever accountant, they’re just bean counters
Rich c”nts always look out for each other
France’s only Rock Star? That is one more than I’ve heard of.
We’ve got some great ideas for sorting out David Cameron’s popularity in 2013. Looking forward to the New Year.
I’ve still got a Blank Sheet of Paper.
Wipe yer bum, it won’t be blank then.

If you tax people more, this stops them from spending on loads of foreign goods usually made in China. Therefore the money stays in the UK.
To pay Gordon for doing nothing?
Support British thieves.
Politicians? Bankers? Tax avoiders?
Lefties.
To pay work dodgers more benefit to buy things made in China!
You’re fucking joking right?
Have you not heard of the £800 million we give to India each year?
The Billions we give to the EU?
£2 billion to fund 3rd world wind farms?
We are pissing tax-payers’ money away all across the world.
les vôtres Hollande!!!!!!
Fous-moi le flan!
JM Jarre is from cosmopolitan stock and they have always migrated to lesser regulated, laissez-faire regimes.
They left Eastern Europe for those reasons (nat’l socialism = regulation) because they felt they were being persecuted when in fact they were merely being regulated. What if the cosmopolitans were mistaken in their belief that they were being persecuted and were in fact only being censured for their predatory behaviours?
Alas, we now all know the outcome of their migration westwards to London and NYC the citadels of western free-market anarchy. Look what’s happened to the countries of those capital cities…now just hollowed out shells.
It would be interesting to bring in that sort of tax level in the UK and see how many rich lefty comedians and BBC types suddenly decide to fuck off.
10,000 Frenchies to move to UK…none with the ability to vote…LOL
well done dave…what a plonker
Your anti-French rants verge on racism.
They do vote….. in French elections !! Wottta silly b*lly !
Local elections mousey, all will be right wing otherwise the would have stayed in France and when they come they will buy houses in London, guess Boris will be in for ever, oh dear.
Predictable MK and quite boring
Looks like the whole of the 1970s is leaving.
They were more intelligent then, obviously.
You do realise of course that this country is ungovernable and is fucked?
Our politicians are all quite delusional.
No one, but no one, has ever said how we can pay our debts back, we are even now, still borrowing more and more, and it rises even more with the more immigration we take. After all, the extra houses, schools, hospitals that have to be built and the benefits we have to pay to them, have to be paid for some how!
er…sorry, that question isn’t on my idiot cards… er, minimum alcohol pricing and hug a hoodie. Will that do it?
Wouldn’t worry in 2015 Ed will pick up where he and his loonies left off, should be an interesting time, no money to pay for benefits, Liverpool mayor who didn’t allow people to vote for a Liverpool mayor is already worried about cuts, whitewash won’t work anymore.
The debts will be piled into the bank of England, and burned on a pyre of forgiveness and currency devaluation.
Come the revolution all these tax dodgers will be shot.
First they came for the tax dodgers…
After the revolution I will be chairman of the people’s republic of Britain.
That’s what you think infidel scum
Er, not all of them, I hope..
But Tax dodgers are enemies of the workers.
Er, right on Owen. Yay.
Another banana dauquiri please Winston, then get the yacht ready, I hear the marlin are biting today.

Note the irony in Labour calling the comments a “cheap” political attack. Nowt cheap about it!
The work and pensions secretary has attacked the tax credit system put in place by Labour, saying it had resulted in “a sorry story of dependency, wasted taxpayers’ money and fraud”. He said fraud and error in the system under Labour had cost £10bn. Labour described the comments as a “cheap political attack”.
“In the years between 2003 and 2010, Labour spent a staggering £171bn on tax credits, contributing to a 60% rise in the welfare bill,” Mr Duncan Smith said.
That £171billion was wealth redistribution, comrades! Our Dear Leader knows that workers’ wages doesn’t belong to them, it belongs in the pockets of parasites!
How foolish you workers are for not knowing this! You deserve to have those wages taken from you! All wages belong to parasites, skivers, spongers and shirkers!

I still shudder when I recall the sound of Gordon’s mock stentorian yet hubristic voice as he dished out more Taxpayers’ money on working tax credits, child tax credits and childcare from the Dispatch Box. Each and every Budget would see him chuck loads of money in order to secure Libor’s Client State.
But now, as Liam Byrne warned in the aftermath of Libor’s feeding frenzy, there’s no money left Perhaps that should read, ‘There’s no money, Lefties’
Chuka, how does a chimpanzee like you, brought up in a jungle swinging from trees and shoving bananas up its arse get to be in the HoC?

Gay marriage: Catholics urged to write to MPs
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/9771682/Gay-marriage-Catholics-urged-to-write-to-MPs.html
There are an estimated 0.5 million Catholics in the UK…well done Dave, what a plonker.
Catholicism (and Islam) is the embodiment of the family and family values. These are anathema to libertarian principles and laissez-faire deregulated free-market anarchism (anarchy = no rules or regulation). Catholicism is therefore akin to regulation or national socialism. The anti-statists will attack this instituion in every way they can and the introduction of gay marriage is just one weapon.
Other weapons of late have been the reporting of child abuse in the Catholic Church when ignoring that this must also occur in other faiths (the attacking of the treatment of women in Islamic countries is another instance). You will note that one faith is completely ignored in this propagandising.
Which might that be?
Jedi-ism?

I attempted to post up a published quote of Ed M.ilpede from the latest issue of the J. chroncle earlier today – It “disappeared” into the ether – and I really don’t need to wonder why.
His word mangling of said quote is quite stunning.
I’m not a political scientist or economist but it appears to me that the solution to the country’s financial mess is very easy to solve.
1. Tempoary halt to all immigration, only to be lifted once the nation’s finances are settled.
2. Anyone found guilty of benefit fraud will automatically get a lifetime ban from receiving benefits.
3. No benefits to be given to newly arrived immigrants who’ve never worked a day in this country. That should keep out those who come here knowing the UK is a soft touch and will give them free money.
4. No benefits to be given to nationals and non-nationals convicted of a crime. It’s obscene that Abu Qatada lives off the state when he’s plotted to murder us.
5. New banking regulations that state no bank will ever be bailed out by the taxpayer again.
6. Households with long-term multi-generational unemployment to be given final ultimatum: accept the first job that pays at least more than you get on benefits, or have your benefits stopped altogether.
All in all, that should save the country about a 100 billion or so.
Good, but may I suggest amendment to #6: “accept the first job
that pays at least more than you get on benefits,or have your benefits stopped altogether.” ?And add:
7. Benefits will last only 6 months in total. Once those 6 months are up, that’s your lot, for life. You want more unemployment insurance, you take it up with a private insurer. Or save/invest.
Save? I think you’ll find George and Merv have completely decimated the savings market with their Funding For Lending scheme.
I would suggest amending #2 as well.
Total withdrawal of benefits for Fraud will just stimulate a further criminal problem.
Better to mark the fraudster such that they pay a higher rate of tax when in employment, and reduce the benefits for a period of time as punishment.
The hard core problem will not go away, but a disincentives for gaming the system combined with punitive measures which will not affect employment chances or adversely impact family too much is required.
- Am not a socialist
Won’t affect me. My benefits are as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar.
Why dont you spend some of them in Binns or maybe Joplings
No, I prefer Lewis’s, Blacklers, Owen Owen, George Henry Lee or Hendersons.
Of course there must be more tax. The State must employ more Common Purpose graduates. Our graduates do not work cheap. You will employ our graduates.
Ooh! Are you still here? We thought you’d gone to the Strine with Brine.
Lots of hilarity on that site. This thicko seems to see no contradiction in supporting a religion that preaches hatred and violence against women, gays, non-muslims and pretty much anyone who doesn’t worship the psycho child noncing prophet.
I joined up to 1,000 Muslims lobbying Newham council in east London for planning permission to build a mosque. Disgracefully the Labour council turned down the request again last Wednesday. The campaign has been on for 15 years.
Protesters included a big group of young women, many from local schools. I got a great welcome as one of the few white people there to support them.
At the root of the hostility to the building of mosques is Islamophobia. It is time we united to get the Riverine Centre built—sign the online petition.

“I got a great welcome as one of the few white people there to support them.”
Yup. You’d think it would be at that point the idea would start to form in her otherwise empty head, “maybe everyone else knows something I don’t?”
I wonder if Sheila had herself genitally mutilated in solidarity with her newfound muzzie friends, a now wears a burka and walks 10 steps behind her husband/partner (when he allows her to leave the house).
Maybe having acid chucked in her face for having attend school would give the stupid bitch a fucking clue
The term Useful Idiot was invented for people like this.
Judging from her name she’s Scotch – so no surprise then.

My new year’s resolution is to scam as much in 2013 as I did in 2012. I need to do it while I can. That twat Guido Fawkes is giving me such bad publicity that even a retard like Cameron will eventually take notice.

Not going to play footy in Paris, not now. ’cause I’d have to play 70 minutes for the taxman and 20 minutes for me self.

I had hoped that you and your vacuous wife were heading towards China, and that we’d never hear about you again.

At the last General Election Mr Cameron stated ‘we’re all in this together’. He was appealing to people’s patriotic duty to do their bit.
People on PAYE have no option but to pay their taxes. Everyone else should do the same.
Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button have been mentioned in regard to their living abroad, allegedly to avoid paying tax. If they don’t want to use the NHS, or for the state to educate their children, then presumably they should escape approbrium. There is a separate debate to be had as to whether they should be allowed to vote here.
If the government took action against benefit and health tourism, and refused benefits to anyone who enters the country but has not contributed then they would be seen to be doing the right thing.
Alas! Politicians being fundamentally stupid, target the very people who HAVe paid into the system, and them wonder why this loses them votes.

I read a few years ago that the Labour government considered altering the new Tax Credits introduced by McMental to deduct all income from employees and return a payment that they decided was adequate.
Apparently McMental rejected the propsal – presumably because he realised that he would never be PM after being hung by piano wire from a lampost.
Scary stuff that it was even discussed.
