Why is this man not being prosecuted for tax evasion?
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/nadhim-zahawi-tax-hmrc-investigation-b2262565.htmlI had to Google what he'd been up to.Oddly, the only newspapers that seem to have deemed this newsworthy are the Guardian and Independent.Must have slipped past the rest of them.
Zahawi's spokesman said there had been a "dispute" over whether Zahawi owed the tax and now he's paid up several million.Translation: Zahawi tried evading tax. He got caught and has had to cough up.Now, the ordinary person in the street might fairly be able to claim that they didn't understand the tax laws, and had made an honest mistake. Although that's not a legal defence and they could still serve time for it.But get this. While Zahawi has been in a "dispute" with the Revenue, he was the f**king Chancellor of the Exchequer! He was in charge of the laws that govern tax.Get them put. The lot of them. Biggest bunch of spivs and crooks that have ever ascended the greasy pole.
Yes TommytoesRaab appears totally out of his depth - even when " the Sea was closed"He could take Simon Cadells part as hapless Maplins Camp manager Jeffery Fairbrother if they bring back Hi de hi before or better still after he loses his Seat in next Election

If he does have a fine to pay then it is good that it will apply to an MP and he gets no favours.
Yes, it should.Why would you ask that specific question of me?
