There are almost too many anomalies and idiosyncrasies of British politics - and the unpredictable and illogical tendencies of the voter - to try to understand Mark...

 

How that complete bubbleheed has become a minister of government is genuinely unfathomable. 
 

Even allocating her as the tart for the arts is truly baffling.

So, "self funding" but 2,400 jobs and 60 production companies at risk?

How can this be unless there is a wile lot of unneeded fat or cream about in that particular trough then!

P.S.

The arts should NOT be Government funded or subsidized, other than proper old-school museums.

I observed the "up themselves" self-congratulation and waste in "the arts" in  our LG sector, while there was zero funding for genuinely needed property maintenance or basic lawnmowers.

Sam was may sons best mate at primary school and they remained friends even when different classes, colleges and jobs came along. Sam had took the wrong path in life and was mixing with scum like these and seemingly, had cross a line with them. Image the fear, the dread being set upon 4 main attackers with several others in the background, and being stabbed several times with a Rambo knife....left in a bloody heap in a public space. RIP Sam. I hope these pond life have a tough life in jail and I wouldn't enjoy the fact that my taxes will go to their cost for the rest of their worthless, miserable lives!

Most people who live in the UK are required to pay tax on all their income, irrespective of its source

Well Mark J, like I say they are all the bloody same. 
The reality is it doesn’t matter what party is in power politicians with the odd notable exception are laughing at us half the time, the last two years in particular have proven how gullible the masses can be.

So I read the article.
She’s an Indian citizen, as an Indian she cannot hold dual nationality, she pays tax on her earnings abroad and she pays tax on her earnings in the UK.

 

What is the issue?

According to a tax expert on the wireless this morning her main residence would have to be outside the UK for her to be a non-dom as she lives between 11 Downing Street and the family mansion her main residence is in the uk, only repeating what I was listening to earlier.

Just got home and checked.

Apparently a Non-Dom can live in the UK all the time, but for tax purposes it is considered that their main residence is abroad.

You don’t see even a slight conflict of interest Mick seeing the current role her husband plays in government !!. It’s yet another loophole that is there for the benefit of a tiny few. Mind you there’s been a succession of governments that have been drawn in by Indian money for a long time now.
