Bono
Always thought he was a prick, but his turn at the Tory party conference was the last straw. He's an Irish citizen, pays his tax in Holland, yet still thinks he can show up in the UK to tell us how to vote. Fuck. Right. Off.

I eagerly await Keith Richards' appearance at the next Fine Gael conference. See how they like a multimillionaire rock star tax exile from abroad telling them who to vote for...

In Scotland we have
Sir Sean Connery. Lives in Spain, toddles back here twice a year to wear a kilt and bleat on about independence. What a tool.

The suggestion that Bono pays tax anywhere at all is astonishing to me.

Why should he?
OK, so he's a hypocritical cunt of huge proportions, and I hate the arsehole too, but I agree with him on the tax evasion.
I bet he doesn't get treated on the NHS, has paid more into the UK than his education and any dole money he may have had cost and I find it unlikely he'll draw a government pension -- so what services should he pay tax for?

Tax isn't paying for services you yourself use
it's paying to keep the country going for the good of all citizens.

Best ever Bono story
May be apochryphal but at Live8 (?) Bono walked onto stage to complete silence broken only by the great man himself clicking his fingers ever few seconds he announced

"Every time I click my fingers a child dies in Africa "
From the front row of the crowd came the cry,
"Well stop clicking your fucking fingers then"

He really is a number two, wanting to be number one.*
