You are very quick to pick up any inaccuracy in the criticism of the Blessed Jeremy - should you not allow those you don't like the same courtesy. Even if they are pigf**kers?

[Classic Jorge]

I think it's fair to say the boy's having a bit of a torrid time of it at the moment. It's almost as if the Lib Dems had a point after all.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The potential issue was forced necrophiliac porcine oral sodomy. A small, but important distinction, I think you'll agree.

[Ashberto]

Pigf**ker it shall be imo :nod:

[IUFG]

nobody who wears a shell suit is fit to run a country

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'm disappointed in you, I confess.

[Luis Anaconda]

J - that should read even if they are necrophiliac porcine oral sodomisers

[Berni]

God knows what we might have done to Derek if there hadn't been ladies present. :-(

[Classic Jorge]

I have to say, Jeremy isnt a c**t, he's a very nice man.

That said, it's almost a King Ralph-esque unlikely rise to power.

[Berni]

[Classic Jorge]

Even if he is from, or basically owns, the rival turf of Belize

[Berni]

[IUFG]

[Classic Jorge]

Mind you, it's very puzzling that the institution you chose was the tory party.

It would indicate, in my mind at least, that they were hammering the phones trying to find friendly faces who'd seen the data and could tell them precisely what was and what wasnt in it.

I do like the name of Papa's company though, Blairmore :hehe:

Indeed

[Luis Anaconda]

[Berni]

aspersions, tries to damn by association, but makes no meaningful contact.

[Classic Jorge]

It's less a statement, more a minute-by-minute match report

[Mo Britain less Europe]

between tax evasion and tax avoidance.

[Berni]

mudslinging and nothing's stuck. :shrug:

On the plus side, it may damage the Remain cause yet further :cloud9:

[Classic Jorge]

[Classic Jorge]

Blairmore havent paid a penny of tax in the UK for the entirity of his premiership. A premiership in which he's pledged to come down hard on people avoiding paying tax by using secret overseas accounts.

[Berni]

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

[Classic Jorge]

And also, you know that legally knowing and actually knowing are two different things.

[Berni]

based on your prejudices - also known as '*******s'.

[Classic Jorge]

All we seem to know is that the company has successfully avoided paying UK tax for the last seven years.

You have to admit, even if you are comfortable with people getting obscenely rich, it doesnt look great.

[Berni]

His father ran this fund legally and your 'it doesn't look great' is about as serious as the allegations get. It's a fuss about f**k all.

[Classic Jorge]

Add that to the fact all of these party donors details are coming out now too. I mean, to the untrained eye, it could look like the party are getting kickbacks from the money made by their donors and using it to fund their election campaigns.

[Berni]

the party. As long as the money is not illegal, there is no issue. Calling those monies 'kickbacks' is simply misleading, sensationalist nonsense.

Four statements in a day happens because it's pretty clear the PM didn't know anything about this, which as I say, means he's not guilty of any deliberate wrongdoing. It would be much more suspicious if he had a ready-made, all-encompassing explanation for the whole thing, since that would suggest he was ready for it.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

[Classic Jorge]

And nobody knew about the Panama Papers, which explains the lack of preparation.
