Sorry I've missed something, but is Barlow a Conservative Party donor?Beefheart wrote:He doesn't seem to have condemned him the way he did Jimmy Carr, for example, but then I guess Jimmy Carr isn't a donor to the Tory Party.thebish wrote:there are bigger baddies than Barlow...
but - it does irritate me when Cameron kinda justifies his tax-avoidance by saying that gary has done a lot for charity... call me cynical - but "doing stuff for charity" is one of the prime tools that celebrities have for self-promotion....
Is he actually saying that doing charity work actually 'offsets' bad stuff? What about Jimmy Saville then?

Me too.
''English jobs for English workers!''
''I'm English. Not British. Not European''
Lots of soundbites, delivered by individuals in a field with heavily regional accents, over a soundtrack sung by a poor man's Billy Bragg.
Never heard of them before, hope to never hear of them again. Are they the new EDL?
Oh, and 'Lands End to Hadrians Wall'? I don't think the Cornish consider themselves English do they?
St. George wasn't English either.

IIRC that set of nutters is where UKIP came from. UKIP were a splinter group of them.
