I don't know if you even admit it to yourselves, but it's true, you do actually hate him because of who he is, regardless of anything he has or hasn't done.

And lets not forget corrupt though eh?

Hold on, choose your targets wisely!, you can't have a go at both the woke-Marxists and the brexity-gammons in the same breath ffs. Maybe you should take O'Maras case more sympathetically lest you be accused of autism-hatred by the way.

We all know swinging money and influence can get you off the hook. Zahawi was the effing chancellor at the time - too careless to understand the rules, too brazen to think they applied to him anyway. Shades of Boris.

Not bait, just fact.
I can say confidently that it's not bait, because I'd prefer it if you bigoted, racist and homophobic old men didn't reply and simply never posted your vile ill-informed shit ever again.

Criminally?

I genuinely don't know if he is or isn't.
I can say with some certainty that the other fellow is because he was convicted recently in a UK court of law, but I don't know about this bloke, HMRC say he was careless, I presume they know the details better than either of us, but feel free to pass on your evidence and have him criminally convicted if you know better.
I'd side with you if you said he lacked integrity, I think few politicians have much, they'll sell their own mothers.
The Labour cokehead bloke? Hell yes, guilty and I don't have any sympathy for him.
Zaharwi? Well, yeah, he had to pay extra on his tax, but he was promoted to chancellor of the exchequer after the story had appeared in the papers.
Then all those around him said there was nothing to see here please move on.
He also threatened a reporter with legal action so he could suppress the story.

Somewhere in amongst that theres at the very least the basis for a full and unbiased investigation to be instigated.

I love it when the lefty gammons are up in a mouth foaming rage when it's about someone with money. Resent and bitter jealousy. I bet these chaps can lose pocket money which would be a gammony lefties life savings and not even notice it.

If I can't have it, then I don't want anyone else to have it :)

Right, deep breath. Let's get a few things straight shall we? Potter has tried to infer I'm a racist before because I criticised the '5 minute Chancellor' that put a serious dent in my, and others, pensions, but never mind, this time he's accusing people of being racist because they accuse Nadhim Zahawi of avoiding tax, so...

The Prime Minister appointed an ethics adviser, Sir Laurie Magnus, who produced a scathing report which left Zahawi sacked and branded as a liar as well as a tax avoider. Zahawi tried to brand accusations that he'd tried to avoid '£3.8M worth of CGT' as 'a smear' and went on the legal offensive, while quietly settling with HMRC.

Now, if our dinghy sailing chum in Dubai wants to accuse me or Sir Laurie Magnus (the appointee of our PM, Mr Sunak) of racism I suggest he gives reality a call. If he wants to accuse me of being a racist again, I suggest he keeps sailing and bailing.

There's only one way to resolve that like sensible adults.

And that's to meet up in real life for a flight.

It's your move cowboy, but just to be absolutely crystal, I didn't accuse you of racism, you've managed to do that all on your own.

I deliberately didn't directly quote anyone or accuse anyone in particular of any particular brand of hate, I just threw out a wide open general complaint about the anti-Muslim bias, the anti-trans bias, the overwhelming bias of Labour propaganda, etc.

In fact, I hadn't even thought about you when I posted that, but you've chosen to grab onto one part of it, apply it to yourself even if you think it doesn't fit, then get all teenage girl about it.

You've now made it personal and you're clearly very angry that I'm calling out hate posts on the internet, the flexing "Right, deep breath" like you're some sort of powerhouse that would crush me if you didn't manage to show mercy and then closing your post by naming towns and making a veiled threat is cowardly.

No deep breaths needed here, but I suggest you take a few more.
Why should I give a shit about men who pretend to be women?

I’ve never heard of WhatsOnStage Awards. I suppose that’s one reason I’m not “outraged.”
