He ranked 4th in the Publishing, Advertising and PR section of the Sunday Times Rich List 2013 with an estimated wealth of £720 million.[4] In April 2015, the Sunday Times estimated his net worth at £1.0 billion[1]bobo the clown wrote: I know nothing about the geezer and the headline remarks don't look good .... until you read that his "tax haven" is France.
That somehow doesn't ring right, now does it ??
He is a supporter of the Conservative Party leader David Cameron.[5]
He has non-domicile tax status and owns his media businesses through a complex structure of offshore holdings and trusts which entail him paying almost no UK tax on his income, investments or wealth.[6]

^^^ I'm just wondering why a tax dodger would chose France as his tax registration location. Half of France is trying to get out because of tax rates.
Just odd, that's all.

Labour received more than 160,000 applications to vote in its leadership contest in the final 24 hours of registrations, the party has said.
The number of applications via trade unions more than doubled and the number of party members and £3 registered supporters also rose.
It takes the potential total electorate in the leadership contest to 610,753.
At the general election Labour had just over 200,000 full members.

Too much in the way of nationalisation, health, power and water are essentials other than that government should not look to get involved, imagine the strike action on a nationalised railway with the 'brothers' calling the shots.William the White wrote:Yeah - but what's your second biggest objection to Jeremy Corbyn's policies?

There are train strikes now. And the service is worse since privatisation. More expensive for customers and the tax payer and it is less reliable and more crowded.Hoboh wrote:Too much in the way of nationalisation, health, power and water are essentials other than that government should not look to get involved, imagine the strike action on a nationalised railway with the 'brothers' calling the shots.William the White wrote:Yeah - but what's your second biggest objection to Jeremy Corbyn's policies?

His father lived in Paris and had a non-domicile tax exemption status. He inherited this on his father's death. At least according to Private Eye...
