I love donkeys but I would hate one living in a field next to me (not that there are any ....£10 million or otherwise) they’re really cute but very noisy when they start all that braying .
However I haven’t read the article so can only say it doesn’t actually sound like the man has done anything wrong. Are labour politicians no allowed to earn and spend money?
“I've read the Mail on Sunday 'story' twice so that you don't have to. Keir Starmer bought a field behind his parents' house in 1996 so his late mother could care for rescue donkeys. That's it. That's the story. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so emblematic of our broken media.“
Ah yes the The Daily Mail - the paper whose owner did not deny claiming tax concessions as "non-dom", though he insisted this was because his father had lived in France. Lord Rothermere acquired France as his "domicile of birth" upon his birth as his father acquired a French "domicile of choice" by becoming a tax exile in Paris."
Is that the same tax dodger or am I wrong? Isn’t he a big mate of Cameron, who went to the same schools as Boris? No interest to declare? Of course not!
Must be getting desperate if sinking to donkey fields.
Queen's Council, which is what KS was, earn high fees. They also work incredibly hard, long hours in order to do so. KS did so much pro bono work at his Chambers he was advised to do some paid work.
The notion that people who support the LP, or are MP's, or Labour leaders should not be successful in their line of work stinks a bit.
gillybob - if you're referring to the Saville and grooming gangs, you're basing your criticism on false information.
P.S. You generally reckon on 1 horse to an acre. I'd say 2 donkeys equal 1 horse, so maximum 14. That's if you didn't want to temporarily fence off a couple of acres to take hay off for the winter. Then fewer donkeys..
Let's hope they have no aspirations to stand for any political office representing any party apart from the tories, Annie. Field ownership would clearly count against them... ?
I don't think this thread is any more pointless than many others on Gnet.
