    Alan Sugar has told Jeremy Corbyn that, because HE pays tax, that means ALL millionaires pay tax.

    Stick to being a glorified talent show judge, Alan...

    So if he tells us what % tax he pays on his personal /
    corporate earnings, that "means" we will know what %
    ALL millionaires pay ??

    I think a quick look at the Panama Papers will tell us just how much a large number of them are more than happy to keep for themselves.

    ...and me wondering about Sissoko getting his finger out next season. Trump's finger is a different kettle of fish and no mistake!

    The only public mutterings from Mo Fo Sugar should be about how sorry he is for inflicting Katie ****ing Hopkins on us.

    As Stupid Watergate continues to rumble on, it seems that Donald Trump Jr is the latest moron to find himself on the pile.
    The New York Times claims that he received an email that detailed Russia's attempts to aid his father's run for the Presidency.
    This was prior to meeting a Russian government connected lawyer who claimed to have compromising information on Clinton.

    Perhaps they should've watched The Wire before setting this all up:

    Reassuring to know that our 'ruling class' are such decent, inclusive people. And not racist, fascist elitists - oh no, not in any way!! <doh>

    His defence is that he's a massive **** and he's offered to pay people for violence before. <doh>
    He's a ****ing peer and his mother's literally a first generation immigrant. He's also a complete ****ing crook.
    Three bankruptcies and a suspended sentence from a German court. The complete arsehole package. <doh>

    My favourite bit though, is about a relative.
    "His brother, Roland, is the blues guitarist Todd Sharpville."
    Roland... Todd... close enough! <laugh>

    Be fair; they've hundreds of years of tradition to uphold.
    British imperialism didn't happen because the ruling classes were nice.

    Just when the Dire Leader thought the worst thing that could happen is seeing the far right of her support frothing at the mouth because they're not allowed to use racial slurs, along comes Jeremy Corbyn to boot her bollocks about "contributing" into the nearest drainage ditch

    • Well, one things for sure, the judge will definitely not take it easy on him for his aristocratic background and will hand down a punitive sentence to deter future behaviour....... mmmmmm.......... yeah, right!! Let's see now.... my bets on a short suspended sentence (not by the neck unfortunately!) or maybe a fine. I may be wrong, but despite her comments in court, this sort of offending inevitably receives a class-defined punishment. A scrote from Harlesden or Peckham would be facing a couple of years.

  13. As the Russia-gate scandal continues to reveal nefarious activities by the President and his nearest and dearest, if Trump is going to be relying on the likes of this strange witch-like creature to do his bidding then he really is up **** creek without the proverbial paddle....<laugh>

  17. Yeah just saw that...... guess it's more than I predicted, but he'll be out in 5 weeks so still hardly punitive. The continuing high Press focus probably tipped the balance towards the jail time, even if a token period.

    The Dire Leader...'s advisors say that she shed a tear when she realised that her vanity election went about as well as the captain of the Andrea Doria saying "Watch THIS!" while navigating through a fog bank in one of the world's busiest shipping corridors.

    They clearly didn't think that one through, given the sheer volume of people pointing out how she clearly didn't give a damn when visiting the site of Grenfell Tower.
