Ms Macbeth Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 8 hours ago, steved32 said: Legally, no, morally...? More pointedly, how can Sunak possibly empathise with the hardship millions are having to endure. It's not just his multi-millionaire status; it's his attitude and actions. He's just donated £100k to his public school. Why not support his local schools around Richmond, instead of enhancing the entitled and over-privileged. Winchester gives out bursaries, some bright pupils from ordinary homes get their fees paid. Donations from FPs support them. Similarly, my older cousin, who grew up in a council house in Scotland, went to Gordonstoun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Clyde in 1933 (Scottish Liberal MP)- "No man in the country is under the smallest obligation, moral or other, so to arrange his legal relations to his business or property as to enable the Inland Revenue to put the largest possible shovel in his stores. The Inland Revenue is not slow, and quite rightly, to take every advantage which is open to it under the Taxing Statutes for the purposes of depleting the taxpayer's pocket. And the taxpayer is in like manner entitled to be astute to prevent, so far as he honestly can, the depletion of his means by the Inland Revenue."
