    I wasn’t having a go at anyone for wanting to make money. I’ve been known to do it myself
    My point really was to become super rich then, assuming you didn’t simply inherit it, then there must be either some people working for you earning whatever they earn, maybe very good money, but you’re still earning vastly more on the back of them, or you’re selling something for massively more than it costs you to make
    Either way there are ways to better distribute the cash, and the risk by the way, which could mean you still end up very wealthy, but without such a huge disparity between what you earn and what your workers earn

    Does he?
    Genuine question as I don’t watch driving in circles, but I thought he lived in Monaco so wouldn’t put any tax back here?

    So you support their tax dodging then ??
    Panorama just stated that we are basically subsidising these people.
    Earning £360,000 in 16 months and not paying a penny in tax is good then ???

    That Mrs Browns Boys thing wasn’t a loophole, it was plain bent and will no doubt be shut down following the Panorama investigation.

    I can’t believe they were getting paid that much in the first place, talentless ****s.

    This is what gets me as well Den.

    Lewis Hamilton getting £3.3m for doing naff all with a private jet, is like me finding a tenner down the back of the settee. That'll be curry rice and chips and a few tinnies for me then.

    But £3.3m could fund how many coppers, properly arm soldiers overseas, fix a few of the 4,000 holes in the roads of Blackburn, Lancashire.

    If the soft twats were paid for genuine laughs from the audience, they'd be giving refunds out.

    **** programme.

    Nothing wrong my morals, I just belive in life you should work for things and not be given it on a plate, we make things to easy for people who are willing to do nothing. In this country we give lazy people things way to easy.

    I also believe in life you should work for things and not be given it on a plate, but as well as we make things too easy for people who are willing to do nothing, in this country we also give greedy people things way to easy to become even greedier.

    I see your point but I wouldn't call them greedy, just because the amounts are larger it's all about perspective....hamilton saving his few million by buying his jet for business is the same as the everyday self employed man saving a few k a year on his tax by doing a few cash jobs that forget to go the through the books

    Hamilton isn’t a UK resident, so isn’t liable for any UK tax, so finding the most advantageous country in which to register his jet didn’t have any bearing on his tax liability here.
