    Thousands have watched this video and around the world have condemned the Labour government along with the Tories who hid it for fear of being called racist

    They may lie about Farage but here is real corruption
    The "Kinnock gravy train" refers to a media accusation that the Kinnock family benefited financially and professionally from Neil Kinnock's position in the European Union, particularly after his time as a European Commissioner. The term is a colloquialism implying that family members received jobs and financial perks through connections, a claim that the Kinnock family has disputed.

    • Some reports estimated the total value of the family's benefits and salaries to be tens of millions of pounds.
    • The claim included Neil Kinnock's own salary as European Commissioner and other perks, such as a chauffeur-driven car, a housekeeper allowance, and low European taxes.
    • The family's daughter-in-law, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, was a Danish MEP, and their son, Stephen Kinnock, worked for the British Council in Brussels and Russia look actual ties with Russia not make belive ones
    • Their daughter, Rachel Kinnock, was hired as a researcher by her mother, Glenys Kinnock.

    It's embarrassing, how he expects anyone to debate with him is beyond me

    Are you saying they are tax avoiders which is legal or or evaders which is illegal. Do you not think the foreign owners will not do the same or even worse take the tax to their home country. The whole tax system could do with throwing in the bin and starting again with a clean slate

    We're all supposed to be part of society and the vast majority pay their dues.

    Avoiding huge amounts of tax, by the likes of JCB, may be legal but that doesn't mean it's not immoral.

    I think it is poor from some people, you may disagree.

    That's the current tax system in all major countries in the world, I said above it needs starting from scratch. You quoted jcb, do they pay their fair tax, what is fair tax???, 100% tax on all money more than the lowest earnings. I have invested money in stocks and share whereas people who earned same as me lost it on horses and other betting, should I give most of my profits to them because they wasted it, because of this and the last government you can only make 3k profit even if you have been saving for 10 years +, which could be less than inflation.
