I think you throw insults instead of debating because you know I’m more successful than you, and it winds you up. 
 

 

So come on, what's your net worth? You're asking other people so I guess you're happy to share that information.

Au contraire. There is little debate to be had with a radicalised idiot who has shown his mad conspiracy views.

And just to be clear I have no thoughts of you being successful. Quite the contrary, the angry right winger shouting at the clouds are normally the definition of unsuccessful. Gives them their get out.

Good to see more clown world propaganda dropping today:

 

’Eight-year-olds are told in one classroom video prepared by HMRC:

“You can think of tax as one shared bank account that everyone in the country pays into. The government is then in charge of looking after this bank account and sharing all the money to help everyone in the country. This money is also used to pay for the things that your town or city needs. When you’re older and you get a job, or maybe even start your own business, the taxes you’ll pay will all be added into this shared bank account."

 

I would love to hear your definition for 8 year olds

I’m not sure being right wing has any relevance to your success in life, however you define success

Fair point and it is a subjective measure regardless of political leanings. I would hate my son to turn out like Russell Brnd even if he was worth £20m.

We've reached this point have we?

Chris Rokos recently left the UK. 

 

Last year he paid £330mil in tax, which is the equivalent of 44,000 people earning £50k per year. 
 

The nonsense that you are regurgitating is going to be disastrous for the cost of living for most people. 
 

We are currently first place in the global table for millionaires leaving the country:

We should NOT be near the top of this list. We should be attractive to wealth builders and entrepreneurs.

 

You will eventually run out of other people’s money to steal.

Almost impossible to run a business successfully and still be left wing. 
 

Anyone that’s dealt with the HMRC, payroll, employing people etc eventually realises how stupid the state is.

Where's he moved to? As I said above, I assume it's a place he will pay minimal tax, rather than a place where he just won't pay inheritance tax.

Tax residency in Greece.

Just the tax lost from one individual could do so much. Yet we are losing not just one, but hundreds of thousands of individuals.

Or less than a week’s fuel duty takings. There are big numbers in the economy.

So, yes, a tax haven.

Funny how none of these billionaires move to non-tax havens isn't it. All an excuse to pay as little tax as humanly possible.

Of course people minimise their tax bills when it gets spaffed up the wall on absolute shite. That’s the entire point. 
 

The country should be run well enough that people don’t need/want to flee.

That’s Ok then, let’s just scare off every business and entrepreneur and punish anyone that wants to be successful.

Not true, the speed of the people leaving accelerated in 2025 and is still rapidly rising. I agree it’s a bipartisan issue though.

You are such a drama queen. There will and always has been tax avoidance. You whine like hitting you personally as Telegraph tells you to. 
You really think Jim Ratcliffe wouldn’t fuck off to Monaco regardless?

I genuinely think there is no fiscal policy that would make you happy. You don’t want a society you just want greed to prevail.

You should see a preview cautionary tale in the recent unrest in Germany and France - if people don’t have a stake or hope in society they rebel. But hey you have been clear you would love investment funds to own all the property.
