    It does relate to 2010, but it's murkier than Wiki suggests. His Danish wife alleged for tax purposes he only spent 33 weeks in Denmark each year. But when she applied to have him named as joint owner of their house in Denmark, she claimed he spent every weekend in Denmark. When this was revealed, the Kinnocks said this was a simple mistake.

    Yeah, right

    Apparently the need to evade tax to pay for their daughter's private education.

    I’m probably being really thick here….but if he’s an MP here, surely he has to reside here to do his job eg hold constituents meetings etc.
    So how can he do his job while living in Switzerland ?
    I’m probably missing something to be fair.

    Yes, you are. This was from 2010, he became a UK MP in 2014.

    Johnson has been working tirelessly for the good folk of Uxbridge from the Caribbean in between mini-breaks.

    Yes, he lives in Baglan, near Port Talbot. He's MP for Aberavon. It's a bullshit story.

    But everyone knows he’s an upper class pompous **** with the morals of a Tom Cat and we weren’t talking about him anyway

    Well spotted……the power of SM and the lies it can spread.
    Lesson learnt….though I should have learnt that one already

    In my defence…I’d never heard of Baglan, and it could have been in Narnia for all I knew

    No but he’s far from the only one and I’m fairly sure if we were to rank MPs for corruption, Kinnock would struggle to make the top hundred.

    Can't admit to being in the wrong, eh? The bullshit you posted clearly suggests that he's domiciled in Switzerland whilst being an MP here. Not even Johnson would try that one on.

    Absolutely, and I do agree totally…..not the worse by far and there will be more Tories on the corrupt list above him for sure…..but let’s not forget Jezza and his donkeys the corrupt bastard
    I do remember that I did have a reason for disliking Kinnock Jnr….but can’t remember why. He probably shat on the Red Flag at sometime.

    These things are quite easy to check.

    I don't like Kinnock Jnr either. He spoke out against Corbyn in the 2017 election and was plainly gutted when Labour did so well. There was a documentary that followed him during the campaign.

    To be honest, I have got a few more things on my mind but point taken.

    Yep, that would probably be the reason I disliked him….very anti Corbyn if memory serves me right.

    No, I agree that inference was wrong. But the smoke and mirrors over their past tax affairs is hardly impressive coming from socialists. Or perhaps it's just that they're more equal than others..

    I thought I heard it somewhere and just looked up that there has been a book written about his hooligan exploits with Leeds…HOWEVER…reading the reviews many are saying the stories of his exploits are pure fiction, made up bollox and obviously fabricated.
    And hearing from you, someone who actually met the fella and had never heard about that side, I’m tending to agree.

    I never heard him once talk about football in any form to be honest. He really wasn't very well liked around Wakefield. Hands the size of shovels and a wasted talent of a boxer. Even the likes of Lenny McLean and Co knew of his reputation.

    Ah that’s a shame as it might make me feel a bit different about him when reading the book.
