Tears For Souvenirs Are All You Left Me

Memories of another artful tax-Doddger

UK Deputy PM, Secretary of State for Housing and working class role model '3cribs' Angela Rayner must have been hoping for a Ken Dodd moment as she tearfully submitted herself for a parliamentary ethics review over her reduced payment of house sale stamp duty tax.

Let's forgive and forget
Turn our tears of regret
Once more to tears of happiness
 
As The Herald reported back in 1989:

COMEDIAN Ken Dodd walked free from Liverpool Crown Court yesterday after being acquitted on all eight charges in his tax fraud trial.

Cheers broke out in the public gallery as the verdicts were announced at the end of the 23-day trial.

Ms Rayner is not accused of income tax fraud but clearly got bad advice about paying a housing sale tax known as stamp duty for which she may be forced to resign.

Then she may never get the chance to takeover if Barmy Starmy himself is forced to resign when his lunacy catches up with him.

Interesting?
