‘Turns out my brother’s accountant is a bit of a travel agent on the side….he sent my brother and his family on holiday to a nice little island off the shore of Switzerland….I asked ‘Tax Haven?’…He said ‘SSSSHHHH!!!’
How Jeremy Vine’s 10-year-old daughter helps him avoid tax payments
Jeremy Vine’s brother Tim tells us…
As king of the one-liners, does money make a rich seam of material?
I haven’t got a lot of money jokes if I’m honest, but any topic can be good because you can write a joke about anything.
Bet he’s got a few up his sleeve now!
Some fine advice for his brother on Twitter?…..

And oh yes…
Does money make you happy?
If you have a basic amount of money, heaping more on top doesn’t make the slightest bit of difference to anyone’s happiness. For people who have real poverty, it’s very sad – and money can solve that – but the idea that money is like some sort of happiness drug isn’t true.
Just been told that Michael Dobbs has a Lecture about the BBC on BBC 4 from 8pm tomorrow (Sunday).
I am told he has accused the BBC of organisational and intellectual arrogance. He says about the BBC, that it ‘seemed more like a private fiefdom than a public service’ and ‘There is a real danger of the BBC being brought low by a hundred headlines’ and by ‘millions that have been spent on redundancies and failures’ and he also accused the BBC of a Left-wing bias. But this may be edited out of the lecture to make time for Lord Hall to make a contribution.
And as I write, Channel 4 Dispatches & Daily Telegraph are busy investigating the large-scale tax-avoidance and expense-fiddling amongst the BBC “talent”.
There is every chance that the BBC’s 24-hour news channel, BBC News and the election coverage in May maybe adversely affected as many of its news readers & political correspondents could well be imprisoned or be forced to abscond from the country to escape prison.
Channel 4 will keep the public updated on further developments.
Jeremy Vine is comedy gold isn`t he?
His brother is the comedian-but Jezza is THE comedy act in the family!
Who could forget his recent masterclass as his spot on “cycling and speeding” coincided with his being stopped by the police as he sped through Hyde Park on his velocipede.
The calls in were great-and the bugger squirmed and had to take it all on the chin.
Especially when his speeding was deemed “irresponsible and reckless” by the Green feministas he so naturally craves as “allies”.
And now this-memories of Paxman, Kirsty and THEIR shenanigans, in dodging HMRC.
Oh dear-all those “business and economic correspondents” there don`t seem to be creating the right loopholes do they?
Ask Jimmy Carr…oh, wait…
Ask Birt or Yentob, Wogan or Gary Barlow-THEY seemed to do it well.
Imagine the Jack Sparrow tribute act that is Russell Brand won`t be quaffing Chablis 88 with them for a few weeks yet.
I foresee a big pile of V for Vengeance masks getting slowly buried in the Blue Peter Garden soon…where the BBCs credibility lies mouldering since 1979.
Wasn’t Jeremy Vine the one that did that bizarre “Wild West” election broadcast, some years back? The one which almost caused an 8.2 earthquake in Middle England, through the number of lower mandibles simultaneously hitting the Earth’s crust?
His finest hour…
It’s about time H MRC started to crack down on these ‘one-client’ service companies that the B BC luvvies use to avoid tax.Why aren’t they deemed to be employees as other people would be with one client (i.e. the B BC) accounting for well over 95% of most of their income.
Their trick is that they usually pad out their income with dribs and drabs from other e.g. speaking/presenting jobs. But ,as far as I know, the I nland R evenue lets them get away with it.
The luvvies thus employ their wives and children in sham ’employments’ and pay themselves via dividends to avoid national insurance and income tax.
All the while ,berating other organisations ,especially the genuinely self-employed about their legitimate activities.
Bloody hypocrites.
Money is not important in life, just the ability to buy expensive things.
I have been told I have to pay back £2600 by HMRC not including the penalty charges they impose. I did think to ask if I could take the inspector out for lunch and have it written off but something stopped me. What makes it worse is I’m not a high profile tax dodger with multiple incomes and accounts I’m PAYE!
memo to all those who dislike paying tax.
Don’t vote Labour anywhere in the UK or vote SNP in Scotland. Oh I forgot don’t vote Green anywhere in the UK or PC in Wales. Oh I also forgot don’t vote Lib Dem anywhere in the UK.
It would have been easier to say just vote either UKIP or Tory no matter where you live.
