I don’t think anyone would argue the self-interest point. However the extent to which the tax avoidance strays away from the intent of the law should be under more scrutiny, imo. In my view, someone as wealthy as Tice or Farage (or Clarkson with his farm) seeking to avoid tax in artificial...

What turns something from avoidance to evasion? Is the Tice example avoidance or evasion? And agreed on point 2.

Grey areas depending on how the schemes are used. They're legal because they have a legitimate purpose in certain circumstances. It's when they're used outside of that circumstance / purpose that it becomes questionable. But it's difficult to truly determine peoples' motives. Tice's example...

It’s going to be an even bigger issue in the future, I think. So many of the kids in our 6th form, and other ones that I know of, gamble on apps as easily as they use social media. Even those under 18, I dont know how they get accounts set up. Its quite an affluent area I work in, most kids...

I’ve told my kids I want to be taken to build-a-bear and stuffed. When I’m dead, obviously.

On the topic of Solbakken, I noticed his assistant when he was with us, Johan Lange, is sporting director at spurs. Which is going well.

My wife is pretty mad about it, so if I don’t complain the she certainly will. I’m actually buzzing this evening, best I’ve felt in ages. Probably knowing that I’ll get some proper sleep soon, and not the interrupted fever dream I’ve had for the last week!

That's partly why I've not pushed against their mistakes before, I know how tight budgets etc are, and how tough covid was. I work in state education (really wishing I was private sector with medical insurance now!) so know how tight everything is in money terms. The staff mostly do a great...

How shit my doctor is. It's annoying now, but I'll laugh about it at some point, once I've switched GP. I have had a hernia for a few years, it got quite painful a couple of years ago, so GP referred me for an ultrasound, got the okay to have it operated on, sent off for funding.... then...

He’s still bullshitting. “Urge patience”? He said he’d deliver and he hasn’t.

Had we had him on loan the season before, and drink-drive-deano stuck him right mid? He was a totally different player second time around.

😢 just found out he was in another of my favourite films - he’s the guy that gets fired right at the start of “The cat in the hat”.

They’re sex people, Lyn.

I’m a big fan of karma. I just prefer it happening to the people I definitely don’t like, rather than the ones I probably wouldn’t if I knew anything about them. 😎

Surely there’s a limit to how far someone can go in “self-defence”? I reckon putting someone in hospital with serious injuries is a disproportionate response, even if they did start it. Although maybe if it was the other way round then I’d be saying that ickle joseph deserved it. Can we put...
