They do pay for nurses, teachers, cleaners, teaching assistants, library staff, school cooks, oap and kids home staff, social wokers, youth workers, nursery staff, benefit office staff, fire fighters, army staff police staff health protection staff etc. All paid from taxes, all needed and all being cut and getting pay freezes.
Just heard on SSN that he's going to have to be in court mon-fri so he won't be able to take training.
Ensil.... A) cheers for explaining the concept of a typo to the chelsea fan B) was only trying to show that taxes not being paid do effect jobs. I agree with your points and aint judging this case as i have no idea about what did or didnt happen.
Case starts at 2pm. jury have been asked to declare their football biases. Hashtag #redknapp for breaking news
I hope the jury are all Pompey fans and they fry the balloon faced **** in the chair,Tax evasion lowest of the low with all his money,greedy ****er.Wonder how much he's been skimming of you yids. Did you know Scott Parker only cost 2 mill.....where did the rest go ??
A few stats about Liverpool for you: 26% of the working age population are on benefit, twice the national average. Half of those people are claiming incapacity benefit (12% of the city). 5% of working age people in the city are on job seekers allowance. I guarantee the number of frauds in that group significantly fiscally outweigh whatever crime Redknapp committed. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/live...ter-of-liverpool-on-benefits-100252-21148149/
Apologies, thought you were a Mickey, although if we're going to talk about tax evasion http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/nov/02/roman-abramovich-admits-giving-cash-to-friend
that's really interesting. I didn't know about the 2 million. I don't where the rest went. Got any other interesting pieces of information or are you going to continue to bore us silly?
Anyone know how long the Abramovich case will go on for? Surely if it costs him £3bn, then that has got to put a dent in his ability to fund Chelsea?

For the sake of balance, they publish any and all factually-challenged outbursts from somebody who is clearly unbalanced...
If he's got the bank account, the payments have gone there and he tries to plead not guilty he'll probably go to jail, as pretty much everyone else who does it, for much smaller amounts, generally do. My dad got done in the mid 80's for not paying tax. He admitted it to them (they didn't come after him) and an accountant showed his books that he actually owed no tax, but they gave him a £50,000 fine, which was more than he'd earned in the untaxed period. HMRC are probably the worst 'law enforcement' to get on the wrong side of, and Redknapp is a high profile case envolved in an 'industry' the HMRC really want to hammer, so they'll probably throw the book at him in the hope it shakes a few more apples from the tree and footballers/managers/owners/clubs decide to start paying their taxes like everyone else. He will be judged by 12 people who will either see a nice bloke being victimised or they'll see a rich 'fat cat' trying to hide his ill-gotten gains in an overseas tax haven while public services get cut. HOWEVER. My friends mum was on the jury for an HMRC case against a non-league semi pro side, most of the board were in the dock for tax offenses. She told me the case was a total waste of time and tax-payers money as it was obvious to all that they hadn't done anything illegal, it's just the way football was run. They walked.
