The bbc, again.

i'm guessing you have no idea what the IR 35 regulations are.

I have previously been employed in short term contracts and as such signed say 6 month contracts. I got paid x per day on the days i worked. I got no holiday or sick pay and i could be dismissed at short notice.
The company paying me avoided paying employer national insurance as i was not classed as an employee.
I paid tax through my own company - paying both income tax and corporation tax.

This is essentially how Lineker appears to be employed.

IR 35 would class me as an employee and would tax me accordingly. However, i don't get the other benefits that direct employees get. Furthermore i would have to pay the employer NI (over 13%) on top of the employee NI and income tax. So you are an employee for tax purposes only.

Seems unfair to me

In your case, understandable. In Lineker's it's tax avoidance - from both parties, BBC and Lineker. That's unless your one year deal was a couple of mil.

No denial of that at all. My direct point is the dissemination as 'truth' of an unsubstantiated rumour by the potential president of the United States.

Ok, punters, like some on here, are happy to promote such rumours because it suits their agenda. I would, though, expect much, much more from somebody who is running for political office. Not that the Trump campaign cares about objectivity for it will carry on repeating the mistruth, regardless of its veracity. That's what he does.

So we are now to the facts that some US immigrants indeed eat pets. But Trump may have mistaken the place in the US? Oh, that's alright then.
I mean it's understandable from your viewpoint. Live and let live, multiculturalism.

If you accept that it happens then what's the point of nit picking over it?

Are you somehow suggesting that there is 'magic soil' in America and that a percent of those from certain backward cultures like Haiti will suddenly turn into American as apple pie citizens?

If you are lamenting the tendency for Trump to repeat what he hears on Fox and Newsmax then fair enough, but like I said, at least there is a half truth to it rather than Harris knowingly lying about what Trump believes in.

There is some truth to what Trump says as this happens, whereas Harris would literally call the sky the ground if she thought it would send her into the White House.

The left hated him even more than Davidson, but just like Davidson they could never say Manning wasn't talented....compared to today's comedians both of them make mincemeat of them. But talent doesn't get you to the top with telly executives, you have to fit in with their worldviews.

Something that was never done to the left back when someone like Manning topped the bill.

I saw him being interviewed by a Guardian journalist (she looked like a lesbian librarian) . Anyway she had a right go at him sexist, racist etc. so he told her a rude joke, you could see she was desperately trying not to laugh and he knew that he had got her.

Funny is funny.

i would guess it was the high IQ. But what would i know, as a thick Paddy. Les Dawson would have been closer to my gene-pool.

Les Dawson on Blankety Blank : "and if you get this next question correct , you will win an evening dinner for two at the Cafe de Paris...........in Wolverhampton"

Anyway, ascpfc, i thought you knew some secret about Bernard Manning's willy ?

What the hell?!?

Of course it seriously matters. That's what the whole thing is about: it's the case of Trump reporting it happening in Springfield, not about the general eating habits of Haitians.

'Calling me a liar' is a bit over the top. I'm saying that it's so easy to replicate and spread these things when they are unproven. Isn't that the point?

I ask again: if this/these videos have been seen by half the world, how come no news organisation in the World has found it/them and shown the wider public. Equally, perhaps one of 'those on here' can direct me to the whereabouts.

No?

How many examples of proof would convince you as I reckon less than a 1000 would have you preaching about it being an isolated case with nothing to see here. Go on have a search, don’t be a lazy toad!

Esther Rantzen tries to have a go at Bernard Manning for being AntiSemitic. Its a bit rich considering Bernard himself was part Jewish.

Rantzen was proto woke just recognizable like all the cringey squares we've had to put up with since.
