Have you any idea of the complexity of the UK tax rules? Which have doubled since Brown was at the Treasury.
The 'loan' can be recalled at any point, and is therefore a 'loan' as far as the current tax rules are concerned.

No, I don't.
I'm going on what the company itself said in it's defence. And if that's the best they can come up with, it's pretty shoddy.

That said,I did say it needs investigating, I didn't say it was true. And I did say it's the goverment's fault for allowing it. If it was caused by Brown's changing of the tax rules in the first place then it's just another thing that is his fault too. But he can't change it now, the current treasury can.

And regardless of complexity, it's morally disgusting to earn £3 million in a year and pay 1% tax. No matter who is at fault.

Still wuvs ya, Roarster.

Ha.
I am disgusted. Not pretending. I'm just not disgusted enough to do anything about it other than moan on a retarded internet board.

I'll probably boycott his next DVD and Live Tour. But I've boycotted all his DVDs and Live Tours up to this point anyway on the basis that even when some of his jokes are funny when you see them written down, when I see them coming out of that smarmy, smug, self satisfied piggy eyed serial killer looking face, I want to put hard objects through my TV screen.

And now, thanks to starting my day thinking about Jimmy Carr
I appear to have the tune to 'Pretty Little Angel Eyes' stuck in my head, but with the words 'Piggy Little Rapist' instead.
