Most of us on 30k average only pay 7.4k tax so they shouldnt take any one to court by your theory

Dear Boss, please can you stop paying my wages through PAYE and pay them to monaco to account Rover62, thankyou. PS the UK is bankrupt

twitter: Courtroom is being used for legal discussion on another case while judge waits for verdicts. If verdicts come this case will move out again

What are the chances of an adjournment on the 20th? The only scenario we could come up with is that AA as usual finds a buyer introduced by BC that will save the club in 48 hours Do winding up petitions ever get adjourned without the bill being paid? I suppose HMRC could withdraw the petition? But Hmrc don't do that. Surely a winding up petition is not the beginning of the end. It is the end. A guillotine on a bad debt junkie business. COYHMRC

BOOOOOOO! Judge tells jury in Redknapp/Mandaric trial they're being sent home for tonight and tells them not to discuss trial with anybody when home

Redknapp and Mandaric back in the dock. Tweeting restrictions lifted. Jury being called back into the room

Another question Was this payment of commision or bonuses earned in the UK or was this a personal investment passed between friends? I believe the CPS proved this was a commission or bonus earned in the uk. Harry told the NOTW it was a bonus for work in the UK. I think the jury will have to follow the directions payment was taxable, tax is not optional, paying 99% of your tax is not good enough, the defence is just noise. Guilty

If you ask yes no questions it is a clear guily verdict was tax avoided? yes Would you move money to an off shore account with a code name other than to avoid tax. No Did harry lead this project. Did Milan lead this project. If found guilty, Sentencing. The judge does the sentencing, not the jury was this a large scale tax evasion. over a prelonged time, single event or multiple events or was this a small percentage of H's income and tax. should he be treated equally or as an example

Before break judge told jury he was more than halfway through summing up. Looks like jury will start considering verdicts at around 1230 Judge: "One of first questions you'll need to ask yourselves is - what was the Monaco payment for?" Judge says both Redknapp and Mandaric are of 'good character' and tells jury that might mean more likely they should believe their evidence Judge tells jury there's scenario where they can find Redknapp not guilty and Mandaric guilty. They must not find R guilty and M not guilty Judge hands jury document titled 'Steps to Verdict'. Jury asked to follow it. For example, can only find guilty if believe tax was avoided Judge tells jury they may have sympathy with defendants' long wait for this trial, but verdicts must be decided on evidence not sympathy

I don't think it is in the creditors interest to see Pompey survive because it will cost more to keep them alive than the parachute payments are worth. Unless they find an owner with 20 million a year to pour down the abyss, they should cease to exist on the 20th.

I was in a court in Southampton where it was proved that the camera partnership had falsified records to obtain a summons. Strangely no one was charged or prosecuted.

15 days to go, 15 days to save nottarf krap 15 days , the c### with a bell, and a fish called Jo, The'll never save Nottarf Krap

When they ran "pompeys 12th man" campaign........ I never envisaged it would be....... 1 man

We all ought to write to our PM, MP's Portsmouth City Council and the courts and ask them to personally agree to under write them if they choose not to wind them up.

Pack the park? I was hoping Morphy Richards would bring out a special edition toaster to mark the occasion.

5cm Snow Saturday afternoon. Weathermen more confident I want to see the game happenbut with tiny crowd -

Travelling from Hull and Ipswitch to a freezing shed of a ground where the points are only going to get removed from the table...... I cant see many away supporters... Oh and they cant buy tickets online

Pompey is like a sick dog. All those around it have had the abillity to put it down (or administer the cure) but none have the courage. The directors, the courts, the PL, the FL the owners or the fans.... all spineless

I am trying to decide. Is this sentence to profound for me to understand it, or is it a load of waffle

In the same PMQ's Pennny was fighting against Navy cuts. (paid for with taxes that PFC don't pay)
