8 out of 10 cats

[RowleyBirkinQ.C(deceased)]

Anyone else watching? Jimmy Carr getting an absolute battering. It's Angus Deyton all over again. Mr Carr has made a few quips and just basically sat there all wide eyed and apologetic.
"i didnt appreciate what I was doing" MY ARSE. Before he realised the story would get so political, he was more or less bragging that he pays as little tax as possible. Cheeky sod

I'll take that as a no then,f***ing f*** the lot of you

 

[Robot Chicken]

Fully intend watching it on catch up later, looking forward to it!

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

But what happened to the other 2 cats? Did they get way with it?

ps Didn't see it. It is Friday night.

Sorry for not replying sooner, I was watching 8 out of 10.
Jon Richardson acted like he's annoyed with Jimmy, and this won't be the last of it, but I'm concerned they'll let him get away with it. Angus Deyton had Hislop and Merton next to him, and they would never let it go, so Deyton was out. I doubt that'll happen with 8 out of 10, which is a shame. What Jimmy's done is inexcusable, and he shouldn't get away with it.

I meant to, but forgot, but have set the recorder for the +1 showing.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Great TV. It didnt let up until 10.18 and even then it was sniping for the rest of the show. Best Cats show ever.

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

I don't agree with what he did, but it is legal. Does that mean that the like of you and I that may put additional monies into a pension scheme such as salary sacrifice (as the Government have encouraged|) to save tax are also "tax dodgers"? If it is "wrong" then Cameron et al should make it illegal. Can't imagine that any of the Cabinet or Shadow Cabinet have been involved with similar schemes before......

Totally agree with all of that.

Damn you for having a social life. I'm a sad 39 year old, that has a wife and 2 kids asleep in bed. All I have is red wine, the t.v and the distant memory Friday nights out in Brighton. But I'm ok with that, waaaaaaa sob sob sob sob

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

Watched it also. The Deayton comparison was plain to see, though as others have said, due not having Hislop/Merton as panellists I think he has had/will have an easier time of it after this episode!

On the Deayton scandal, anyone know where I can find a version to watch online? Did a search of youtube where it's been in the past and couldn't find it. Only extracts of it I can see are on my "Best of HIGNFY" dvd.

My Friday night is spent on NSC!! I have a daughter who is 7 on Sunday and I have her newly arrived free Pink & White BHA shirt courtesy of Gully's Gang neatly wrapped up for her to open on Sunday. Unfortunately I am more excited about it than her!

Don't let it worry you but I am now 46. When I hit 40 my back went, my knees went and I put on 2 stone in a year. Happy next birthday.....

God bless you sir. And what a relief I have so much to look forward to

No, because to follow such a scheme we a) still pay a shed load of tax, and b) can't get at that money until after we retire, and that money then saves the government having to look after us in our retirement.

There's tax dodging and there's tax dodging. When rich people get away with paying 20 - 25%, that's irritating, but hey, they pay shit loads of tax, so never mind. But when someone that lives here earns over £3 million a year, and pays 1% tax, that literally makes me sick. I couldn't give a shit if it's legal. So if there's a country somewhere where the age of consent is 8, does that mean it's ok to fly over and fill your boots? Hey, it's legal. Legal f***ing shmegal, what he's done (and plenty of others by the sounds of it) is totally unacceptable. The only way I'd forgive him is if he handed his accounts in and paid his tax.

If it is "wrong" then Cameron et al should make it illegal.

Yes, they should. And if the population cares enough about it, they would.

Can't imagine that any of the Cabinet or Shadow Cabinet have been involved with similar schemes before......

They should name and shame all. They're loaning themselves money that they'll never pay back right? That should be deemed as tax evasion, and all that have done it should back pay their tax or go to prison.

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

The point I was making and I think we agree on this, is that it is not "fair" what he did, but unless it is "illegal" it is going to happen. I would like to see Cameron make it "illegal" rather than pay lip service to it.

They should publish the names of everyone who takes out an ISA - name and shame the lot of them for being morally repugnant and using a legal tax avoidance scheme!!

 

[albion534]

Gary barlow is doing the same, annoys me that liked public figures like him get less bad press

 

[happypig]

I'll take that as a no then,f***ing f*** the lot of you

I was going to watch it on 4od, but with an attitude like that I wont bother, just to spite you.

spot on. Are people morally offended or jealous?

 

[Ninja Elephant]

I watched it because it was going to be brilliant, and it was. Superb TV. He got a pasting but seemed to appreciate he's been an idiot and needed to build a bridge or two.
