What a hypocrite. >:( >:( >:(

Read this:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/9341797/Jimmy-Carr-tax-avoidance-scheme-investigated-by-HMRC.html

Then watch the video here (contains bad language):

Street credibility down to zero, now. (If he had any before, that is.) ::)

Like most of the current crop of comedians he is fashionably left wing and about as funny as a kick in the nuts imo. ::)

Quoted myself instead of modifying. ;D

Really don't like him. Think he's an arse.

But, it has to be remembered that there is a significant difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion. i.e. one is legal, whilst the other, illegal. Which is why the government "...are going to do everything they can..." as he chose the legal way. Unfortunately. Would like to see him taken down a peg or 12

It is my duty to my company shareholders, me and then to my family to pay as little tax as possible where it is just legalized theft and then largely wasted. I plan and spend my money to much greater effect than any Government does, from the 50% it steals from me.

Look at your P60 for last year on how much you made. Just imagine how much more comfortably you would live if only 25% went in tax instead of 50%.

IMHO all Governments should do is create laws, a police and judicial system and protect us with military forces. This could along with a health and educational funds could easily be funded through VAT and other excise duties. Everything else should be done privately, with a legal framework to make things work.

A private health system that you pay into through NI would be immeasurably more efficient and effective, than we have currently got. It would be much more like the French system which is arguably the best in the world.

Likewise with education, we all collectively pay into a fund, which then gives a voucher for each child to spend at the school of their choice. More expensive schools like Eton, would obviously require a extra fees.

Jimmy Carr, sometimes funny, but most of the time up his own rear end IMO

Any one remember Lester Pigott the jockey they had him for tax evasion and he did time for it.....as regards Alan Carr surely if their is a loophole that he can put money into an off shore account and then have it back as a loan and pay no tax on it...then mr.cameron should get his finger out and close that loophole.....

Legally he's done nothing wrong ;)

I bet there's at least one MP using it ::)

Anyway, he's withdrawn his membership now

Thats not the point though.If you watch the sketch hes really ripping into Barclays bank for using this scheme while unbeknown to the viewers hes doing exactly the same thing himself.You cant get much more hypocritical than that.
The only reason he has decided to stop using it is that hes been exposed as an utter hypocrite,rather than an edgy comic and his credibilty as a fashionable lefty has been shattered ;).

I try not to look at that, it's depressing! Couple of years ago they even took my tax free allowance off me, the greedy sods.
