In the news

Not declaring pension earnings is proper fraudy no?

The two idiot...eh party system is here to stay!

There is nothing to say you have to declare investments that you aren't currently earning from.

Are you earning from a pension if you aren't withdrawing it? I think its only savings interest that you have to declare.

No more hippies and explorers: a lament for the changed world of cycling.

I can't imagine how much it must suck to assume every bike ride is a competition.

I take exception to that...

There are more than two idiots in that chamber!

What a wanky article.

Correct, problem is he is thought to be drawing a pension. The pension is being paid net of tax but it's not yet clear at what rate this is being paid. It should be declared as income to calculate the total income for the year and the tax deducted at source should be included as already paid tax and if the tax deducted is only at the basic rate he would need to pay the additional tax. It looks like he has shoddy advisers saying it does not need to be declared. There is a lot of mileage if the claims are founded, this could be classed as evasion whereas dodgy Dave only had avoidance. Not a sinker but certainly a stinker.

It would be a shame if attention was diverted away from spoonface and Gideon's calculated tax dodging, just because Corbyn is a bit bollocks at filling in tax returns.

Yes but he wants to be prime minister, you know, first Lord of the treasury. This has negative campaign poster slogan written all over it.

Not really news, but from the Gruniad;

And the chat is about bikes and times, Strava segments, with the same fervour dull men use to talk about football teams. People are less and less likely to talk about experiences, the things the’ve seen, the places they’ve been, the fun and epic hardship they’ve experienced. They’re less and less likely to talk about the joy of cycling. Again, it bores the shit out of me.

^^^^^^^

It's a bit of an idiot mistake to make (if true), but something that most of us, if not all of us, are prey to.

"Ooops - I forgot to add the £455,000 income from offshore benefit trusts to my tax return last year. And the year before. And the year before."

Nothing stopping pigfucker or any of the others from delaying their dividend payments until a less controversial or less high profile time in the future.

'Hangs head in shame'

...the same fervour dull men use to talk about football teams.

oh

I can't imagine how much it must suck to assume every bike ride is a competition.

Me neither. I'm also rather baffled at how the author has managed to get his peronal identity so intertwined with cycling that he gets upset when douchebags identify with the sport.
As bike snob says "it's just bikes".

for the reference ;)

EDIT it's not that one...there's on where somebody asks about the two party system and the Thatcher puppet goes: "the two idiot...eh party system is here to stay". Of course there are more than two diots... ;)

Clearly never been to the football thread here.
No fervour and no dull men.

BBC Four documentary?

Clearly, it's the home of stimulating and considered conversation. Frequented by some the the giants of modern thinking.

I'm talking about cornies cut 'n paste opinions.

Long read - about the comments....
