Tax Dodging

Tax Dodging : how does it work? I suppose it's impossible when you work in the Public Sector as your pay is put into your bank after tax has been paid. Most people wouldn't have the opportunity to try it on. Most people realise that taxes, like death, are inevitable. BUT many of these well-off toffs seem able to avoid tax. Gideon the Chancellor has been in the news recently depicted as The Artful Dodger; and very spooky he looked too.

It's a completely alien way of life and I suppose that's what the very rich rely upon. We the proles, couldn't enter their world due to lack of finances, even if it were morally acceptable. They have the sort of funds which can be spent paying lawyers to save them thousands of pounds in tax. Percentage - wise, I've probably paid more tax than many a millionaire. Doesn't bear thinking about....I was a Radiographer.

I was gobsmacked to discover that £70 BILLION is now owed in tax revenue. Yes £70 BILLION and these snivelling Tories are allowing it, to the benefit of their rich pals, whilst cutting services to people in need, like disabled children and young families struggling to make ends meet. Scurrilous LibDems (whoever they are?) just ride along beside their very senior partners, shuffling their feet with embarrassment, because they are incurably greedy for power and know they'll not have another chance of being this close to government, in their lifetimes.

Where are the Labour Party? Why aren't they banging on about this daily, in Parliament; in newspaper articles; on TV etc? I don't want to knock Ed Miliband and his gang. I just want them to shout louder and more often. Of course, added to all of this is the allegation that the BBC news swings to the right; not helped by the allegation that Nick  Robinson was a leading light in his university's Tory association. The Labour Party have an extra mountain to climb if the media are insidiously putting further obstacles in the way of them getting their message across. It's not fair; but life isn't I suppose.
