Max and Stacey havin a larf and an interesting interview with Halligan about Japan.

[Brian d marge]

I lived in London for several years.

And what I'm saying is that you own something when you've paid for it.

If you had the basics of English you'd have picked up on that straight away.

if you had been outside off earls court for any length of time . . .you would see that statement is possible the single dumbest thing . . .man . . and i include adam in this

has ever said

the market rates for those houses are dictated by threadneedle st and the markets and only accessable to those nearest the zero interest money

but then u would know that

[mashman]

Yeh and I'm sure brand was copmpletely aware of his landlord's and accountant's trnasgressions Jimmy Carr did it better mate.

Yeah, but only one of them is fighting for the homes of others. I reckon that should meet with a little financial leeway and common decency. Play the man.

[bogan]

he does look at where the proceeds of the latest book are going to

you are going to see a lot more muck raking . ,if ya go head to head with murdock this is what happens

at the end of the day he is front and centre helping some people live in the community they are entitled to

i was born and bred 1/2 mile up the road from hoxton and a few mates live on that estate

theyfor the most part are good honest hard working people . . they fix the tube trains at night , drive cabs , work on the markets

sooo according to some its ok for an american preditory company to buy up your house . . or even the area around your own house, the one you paid for when thatcher allowed ya to buy them
The slap market rent . . and all the associated tax effectively forcing you out

and people think this is ok ???

kama will be such a byatch

stephen

Yet he still live a life of luxury only made possible by the capitalist system.

Same would happen under a socialist system, just under a different guise.

[bogan]

Yeah, but only one of them is fighting for the homes of others. I reckon that should meet with a little financial leeway and common decency. Play the man.

And the other one manned up and sincerely apologised for his errors, and continues to bring joy to many. What is your point? Soapboxing absolves all sin if you can find enough plebs to agree with the cause?

You brought Carr into it and inferred that him and Brand had avoiding taxes when brand hasn't been accused of such.

Perhaps he's paid his taxes like a normal joe. And as you say, even if he hasn't, all he has to do is apologise and then he can get on with the job of using his wealth to make people laugh whilst helping them directly. That and he's also stated that if he decides to sue Murdoch and succeeds, again, the money will go elsewhere.

Yeah yeah, same old shit; "It can't be fair 'cause I can't afford it".

So buy something you can afford. Or not. Nobody really cares. Just don't fucking whine interminably about how unfair it is that you can't keep up with the Smiths.

Not in a criminal sense but certainly accused of using tax loopholes to pay less; not a very socialist action imo.

Your point? That you can be a rich guy advocating socialism as long as you help others? Who better to extol the virtues of socialism than a rich capitalist eh your cause is fucked mate, jimmy carr is a better bet

[Ocean1]

Don't have to absolve anything, how many "celebrities" are really worthy of praise? All it takes is telling losers it's someone else's fault they're losers. And as there's no shortage of losers it's a sure fire circle-jerk to stardom. And not a jot of sense or even coherence required, let alone cash contributions.

So what? You're talking drivel, you figure you've got a right to live in the most expensive piece of real estate on the planet 'cause what? You have a job?

Fuck me I worked two minutes from London Bridge, I didn't whine because I had to live in Greenwich, NOBODY expected to be able to live in London's commercial centre, not even the genuine Cockneys I worked with.

Again: if you can't afford it it's nobody else's fault. Deal with it.

Is he a socialist? He sounds very much like a capitalist to me, acts very much like a capitalist, but seems to realise that things ain't going too well for the people and the planet. Not judging the guy for being a capitalist scum pig, but at least he's helping in any way he can. Be better value than Boris anyway.

@my cause. He ain't my cause. The issues he's highlighting are and that makes him a good cunt in my book. More so than Jimmy Carr, but hey, that's my bias.

nice try

if i was born and bred and my family and friend for may generations lived and died in that place then yes . . .i have a right

im a cockney born and bred within bow bells and know what its is to be from that area
the community is a special part of being from the east end
my family i can trace back to the new houses in west ham early 1800

imagine if you were forced to move from your home because some people deemed that area special eg.
the lesser spotted giant earth worm was found on your property . .choice sell up for what u could get or live with it . . .

or the highway 61 mob henchmen move in next door and your resale value drops through the floor

you would complain would you , . after all thats market forces

No wonder that they have got all these problems ... that was simply gross incompetence IMHO.
