Might have been on here that I heard this, but apparently Paddy McGuinness is a right twat in real life, too
Everybody's best mate type of geezer when the cameras are rolling but an absolute arsehole to the back stage staff whom he regards as beneath him |

"ok what's he done ?"
Allegedly taken advantage of the furlough scheme for gardeners and house staff who work for him.
Which if it's true does reflect badly on him.
It is worth noting he's been campaigning against press misbehaviour for a long time, so that's probably why he's getting singled out when he's far from the only person or celebrity to be doing this.

"I thought it was perfectly acceptable for the very wealthy to use government money and furlough their staff?
"
That is the usual Tory supporters stance.
But it appears some get the wrath while others get the adulation. |

So if you earned shit loads of money and your accountant used a legal tax avoidance scheme,would you not do the same thing yourself? |

Tax avoidance damages the NHS.
And no i wouldn't.
The fact that he earned shit loads of money means he has enough.

I don't think any celebrities are the same once the cameras stop rolling. It's a false personality act.
Ant and Dec have always coming across very happy and jolly on TV, but when I met them out in a pub they were like a right pair of misserable bastards lol. |

I have worked for paddy McGuiness in the past - he is the biggest wanker you will ever meet. Absoloute wanker, no respect for anyone, came close to telling him to fuck off
rang me a year or so later to do some more work, didn't bother returning his call

Ok people have had plenty of reminders.
For the people who obviously rub each other up the wrong way avoid each other.
This is the virus section, yes, some of it will will discuss what the Government is doing/ done / not done but turning threads into a political tangent at every opportunity is not what this section is for. Use the political section.

I haven't read the article because I won't read anything from that particular source, so I don't know the full details.
What does surprise me is that someone who can afford it decides that those two particular jobs don't need doing in lockdown. If anything I'd have thought he'd want a tidy house and garden if stuck there for several weeks. |

No,you're wrong
The K2 tax scheme used by Mr Carr is a way of lowering the amount of tax paid. It is legal and Mr Carr made clear in his statement it was fully disclosed to HMRC. |

"Another 'Champagne Socialist'. True colours come out when they're asked to sacrifice their own money.
Ironically in a film called 'Greed' recently!"
I hate this ‘champagne socialist’ thing. I’m one of them, is there anything wrong with doing well for yourself and think about society and the good of other people?
It always makes me laugh when people see the irony of well off people voting for the left without seeing that you have the same thing with white van drivers or working class people voting conservative.
It’s always good to look beyond one’s nose. |

You will be labelled a 'virtue signaller'....empathy is not very fashionable these days I'm afraid. |

Totally agree with this statement.
I used to go to the match with them.
Exactly the same in real life as they are on tv. |

Tax avoidance (ISAs, pension contributions) is perfectly legal
Tax evasion isn't - it is illegal
Very often people confuse the two |

Apparently also true of Sir Lawrence Olivier. My dad did bit parts on TV and a few films. Was a rehersals/run through stand in for him in one. Used same catering van as the crew... |

I've never understood this sort of question.
1) No, I wouldn't. I would gladly and proudly support the NHS and vulnerable of this country through my taxes.
2) Since when did what I do become the measure of what is ethical?! |
