Rees-Mogg under investigation

[Bulletguy]

 

Rees-Mogg is currently under investigation by the parliamentary commissioner, Kathyrn Stone, after failing to declare that he received £6m in cheap loans from one of his companies.

 

Rees-Mogg says the loans were mainly used as “temporary cashflow measures” to pay for a property purchase and refurbishment, and did not need to be declared.

 

Douglas Ross, leader of the Scottish Conservatives, has also been placed under investigation.

My understanding is that If you have got enough money to make it worth doing, you can put your money and properties into a company in her Majesty's Tax Havens. By owning the company that owns the assets, instead of owning the assets directly, you can avoid tax on them.

So there would be a tax advantage in taking money out in the form of a loan at below market rates. Rather than taking it as a taxable income or taxable inheritance like we plebs have to do.

Hence the big scare at the possibility of an EU wide tax treaty.

And the Dirty Tricks Campaign to get us out of the EU before it happened.

And our rocketing debt and tax rises for us plebs, and no money for public services, because the wealthiest are avoiding tax.

Its well worth reading the string in this thread from 2018;

Understandably the real reason for Brexit was kept out of the 'newspapers' owned by £billionaires domiciled in Her Majesty's Tax Havens. So the birdbrains and pelmetheads were ignorant of it.

 

But I can't remember seeing it on the BBC either, which is supposed to be owned by us. >:-)

Summed up here in a nutshelll;

 

The rich responded with a plan - stir up anti-EU sentiment. And the tools they chose were racism, xenophobia and nationalism.

 

The plan relies on 2 things: Everyone having a vote; lots of voters not having the brains they were born with.

 

The rich couldn't say "we want out as the EU will make us less rich" - voters wouldn't fall for that - as in the main they're not rich.

 

So they made it about stuff that voters WOULD fall for - "Bananas, Brussels & Black People".

 

Tub-thumping racism, & xenophobia. Bingo!

 

And you don't have to look very far to see the types that appealed to.
