What would you do with £16k of tax payer’s money? I suppose pay your tax bill maybe? 🤔

    Where did you understand I am ok with COVID fraud? No need to make things up, friend. 👍

    No matter how large the amount of public funds wasted it is all shameful. The answer was simple the first time this came up: pay your taxes. Surely you’re not defending tax avoidance?

      The £16k has nothing to do with tax avoidance.

      £16K is also so in the weeds, it’s a bizarre thing to focus on.

      If your boss offers you severance pay take it, if they offer you your job back keep it!

        The £16k has nothing to do with tax avoidance.

        From the link

        The Labour MP resigned as deputy prime minister and housing secretary in September 2025 after failing to pay enough tax on her £800,000 flat in Hove, which resulted in the exit payout.

        £16K is also so in the weeds, it’s a bizarre thing to focus on.

        Fair play to you if you think £16k is “in the weeds”. I don’t live such a lifestyle.

          UK budget is >£1,300,000,000,000 and your focused on £16,000 that’s about a 1/3 of the cost of a single cop or 1/2 a binman.

          Get some perspective pretending it’s a big deal is daily Mail shit.
