And what does his status as a committed environmentalist have to do with his tax status?<br /><br />If you're a friend of his, you're doing a pretty poor job in his defence...Mark Valladareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15773193846795037711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17934023.post-79587140494092148862009-11-30T10:50:20.967+00:002009-11-30T10:50:20.967+00:00All this nonsense.

I know that he made it into the final primary for the East Hampshire seat, one of the safest Tory seats in the country. Furthermore, he is a resident for tax purposes in the UK so any suggestions that he has 'dodged' any tax are defamatory and untrue. How many businesses and people play the tax system to their advantage? How many MPs have actually dodged tax. Goldsmith actually chooses to contribute to the nations fast declining coffers even though he is not required to. The people of Richmond should ignore this rubbish as it has nothing to do with his ability to be a great MP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
