Now hopefully they will go after the rest of these big tax dodgers and take their passport away from them.

If they are to old to go jail take put then on house arrest with them footing the bill for security.

Never heard of the phrase cut your cloth accordingly.
You talk as though the government knows the amount of tax revenue they'll take down to the last penny.

Poor Bernie.

Gant and Mottie are well trained plebs doffing their cap at their masters, their logic goes something like this - if master has less to spend then he will have less money to pay me, based on the debunked broken window fallacy.

Whose well trained here, you for believing you can just go after tax dodgers at any price and not necessarily winning the case.
Or being more pragmatic and making a case against them that you more or less know you'll win.

Every tax dodger.

Increase the number of HMRC Agents so we can go after every tax dodger. Why are you upset at this?

You seem to be waving the white flag of surrender when it comes to millionaire tax dodgers. Well trained dog indeed.

How many more and how much will they net?

 

[gant]

You not think they have a raft of legal teams behind them.

So just give up on tax dodgers?

The same applies to UC benefit cheats? Just let them be?
