Today's good news

It's one thing to take advice from a tax advisor that turns out to know s**t, it's something else to get hotels to charge extremely high rates and then pass "fixer" fees back to the union employee on the take.

While the details of his situation are entirely unknown, I suspect its highly likely that there would have been 3rd parties involved in the set-up had it been anything close to the £4M quoted. I can't imagine anyone establishing a 15-20m matter without taking advice and securing services of appropriate experts.

If he paid a penalty, as is being reported, then his days should be numbered.

His defence so far has been that he has never instructed a solicitor in connection with it, which is a notably limited way of trying to diminish its severity. So he knew he was guilty and paid the fine without defending himself - this proves his guilt, not his innocence.

He has paid the appropriate penalty and will surely now pay an appropriate price.
