yeah, because The Tories don't take part in petty gimmicks like banning The Daily Mirror, or changing their Twitter account, or editing videos to make something seem like it wasn't Gove was the Minister for the Environment at one point so maybe he was better qualified to talk about Climate Change? Remind us again just why Plaid are so important in this debate? Why are the Lib Dems so important, or the one MP Green's? Why was Sturgeon there, she is not even up for election so in reality nobody really gives a toss about what she has to say. Gove failed in two leadership bids. Unfortunately for him hes not the leader. |

Did you ever read the article where the 'selective quote' was taken from? If you had you would have read that Johnson was actually defending the rights of Muslim women to wear the Burkha. This is a modern problem where people get fed one line out of context, whereupon like you have done,a label is applied to that person as being a racist, which results in the hatred and bitterness you seem to be displaying. Try reading the article yourself and stop being influenced by people whose only intention is to spread that hatred and bitterness. Hot take as confirmed Tory sympathiser defends Tory. Have you read the one on single mothers? Not much in the way of context to excuse him there but looking forward to your attempt to justify it all the same  No comment on the Burkha stuff then? |

Gove failed in two leadership bids. Unfortunately for him hes not the leader. Sturgeon is not an MP. Who did the Green stuff? Lucas is not the leader of the Green's, and both leader's of the Green's are not MP's! |

Nobby, it is still possible to offend people whatever the context and whatever the intention
You know he could just apologise for using the unnecessary language, which wasn't required to make a/the point

It’s sad that those who claim to want to promote racial harmony and equality manipulate events for their own political reasons and perhaps see the increased divisiveness they’ve caused as collateral damage. |

I remember doing a job between Uni, years back. Everyone I worked with was either Polish or Portugese. Every single one of them used to say they send most of their wages back to their home country. Still, I guess they were paying tax. Be interesting to see how much stays in our economy. Just thought that was a cool story. I'm sure you must have more cool stories about tax avoidance by rich British people/corporations too that deprives the economy of much needed funds. Tell us more... |

But it's most of the thick British public that are voting for his son? Actually I agree, he is right. |

It is perfectly legal. Ever buy duty free when travelling? That is tax avoidance. Ever invest in an ISA? That is tax avoidance. Ever pay someone cash in hand for some work in your house, now that would be tax evasion and illegal, but I bet most on here have done that. |

Sort of attitude that will prevent leftie parties ever getting into power - don’t like other people’s opinions or choice of vote and resort to insult them. You sound like someone else who posts round here! |

Tax avoidance is technically legal but morally questionable with boundaries being pushed, hence legislation like IR35 coming in. The examples given are tax efficient especially with ISAs as they are government endorsed savings and investments. The cash in hand transaction itself isn't illegal, it is for the trader to declare it with HMRC. If in doubt, ask for a VAT receipt. |

Like a rich persons version of ISA’s? No, significant differences which HMRC may try to plug the holes. See my response to Nobby above. |
