Yet another disconnect from the General Population is displayed by an out of touch minister.....

Of course for an MP this has never been a problem as they need an invoice from such tradesmens work to claim it back on expenses and lets not forget around 90% of them were guilty in one form or another in fiddling those expenses yet less than 1% was actually prosecuted for thieving public money.....

They talk about morals...... Bull$hit.. When they use yours and my tax to bail out failed extortionists, fraudsters and liars, fund the Blairs, fill prisons with the undeserving poor, line the pockets of PFI Scamsters and subsidise the global rich AND subsidise the housing scam,you can stick your moral obligation.

I paid someone (in cash) last week who is in his 60's, not in good health but can't afford to retire due to crap annuity rates and the QE induced madness of fuel and energy prices. I felt morally obliged to. and would do so again in a heartbeat..

Here is a perfect example of the cosy relationship between politicians and bankers..

Yesterday we heard a figure of between £25 - £30 Trillion (a trillion is a billion x1000) is sheltered offshore in tax havens.. It's quite obvious where they need to focus their attention but they decide to come after the little guy earning a few quid cash in hand cleaning up someone garden or washing windows ect...

Time to declare an offshore wealth tax, of say 10% per year - and no amount of molly quibbling by Tony Blair on behalf of his city chums should be allowed to stop it.

Mr Gauke has been a Tory MP for seven years. Surely that's more than enough time to understand what the term 'morally corrupt' means and how to spot a morally corrupt person from 400 metres. After all he spends quite a bit of time in a big room in Westminster room with 649 of them

More Big brother, we pay as once the big boys have stashed away money they will never ever spend, and the available kitty gets less and less, then print more and more worthless paper, that ends up in some offshore bank, we will always run round in ever decreasing circles, until we all disappear up our own assholes

The man is a grade one plonker..... Did he not think this sort of statement would not come back and bite him in the ar$e?

And this from another site...

MP David Gauke says it is 'morally wrong' and 'morally repugnant' to avoid paying tax or to pay tradesmen cash in hand

we have one of the smallest black economies in the modern world. What does the window cleaner do with the cash? Stick in a secret foreign bank account? He spends it and the cash gets recirculated in the economy and eventually the taxman gets his cut through VAT and income tax

David Gauke MP claimed over £450,000 expenses between 2005-2009

David Gauke MP claimed £10,248.32 expenses back from taxpayers to avoid paying the stamp duty and fees involved in the purchase of his home in London

David Gauke MP’s wife is a professional support lawyer for a company which boasts of its ability to 'support every tax practitioner on the front line as they deal with the tax collector'


That said his paymasters have told him to break out this policy for one reason and one reason only. They need to divert attention from the other big tax story doing the rounds yesterday...

God forbid the radio phone in's and newspaper website comment forums vent the publics view about what the Government should do about that!!

In any event even when you pay your bills by direct debit it can still lead to tax avoidance.... http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-1704527/Taxman-let-Vodafone-off-6bn-bill.html Vodaphone used a fancy avoidance scheme to get away with paying £6Bn..

Its all a matter of perspective, is a man with 10 million any richer than the man with nine million, nine hundred and ninety thousand, nine hundred pounds, but the hundred pounds in my pocket would make me a lot richer, than the guy sleeping in my shed who has nothing.

For any member of this particular government to raise the issue of morality is really like somebody who lives in a green house and throwing stones. If they aren't careful the whole structure of this dreadful government could disintegrate before their eyes.

Paying for goods and services in cash is not a moral issue; as cash is still legal tender.

I shall refrain from mentioning the big issue immoral elephant-in-the-room supported by this crazy immoral government; the very issue that pulls the rug from under any moral stance this government might take. However, if Mr Gauke wants to engage his suspect sense of morality, he could do a lot worse than poking his nose into the unaudited EU accounts. He could also ask why his immoral government is quite happy to continue throwing £billions of UK taxpayers money at the undemocratic EU every year.

Another major immoral issue for this government is the support it gives to the deceit-based anti-CO2 agenda. The whole agenda is based on a pack of lies, and lying is a moral issue. Added to the lies is another immoral issue, where the poorer members of society are unnecessarily 'green taxed' in order to pass wealth to the rich, whilst threatening the well-being and lives of the poor.

A government that has claimed that evil is good, and good is evil, as this government effectively has, it would be well advised to remove the words "moral" and "immoral" from its vocabulary.

Seems the Minister in question seeks not to pay his staff at all and despite representing the Rickmansworth constituency is handy with his second home expense allowance..

Seems he is not shy about racking up his second homes allowance despite only living a hop skip and a jump from the big house in Westminster..



Another complete and utter waste of oxygen...........

Your caring sharing Government...............

Soon they will teaching the school kids to snitch when they see you putting rubbish in the wrong bin... This is the thin edge mark my words....

I think you will find that is already going on Geezer466.

If any have any doubt that the political system is ranged against we ordinary folk and our personal freedoms, then this latest example of dictatorship should cause even the most naive to wake up and smell the coffee.

On the positive side; it must now be clear to the most ardent of Conservative Party supporters that the wrongly named 'Conservatives' are every bit as control freaks as the other two of the big three parties.

Mmmm Is this the sort of society Britain is breeding in the 21st Century?
