    You couldn't make it up. The trouble is, Boris is so far up Trump's tradesmen's entrance that he'll let him get away with it.

    To be fair, this isn't Trump directly, but whoever is managed the Trump golf courses in the UK, and the scheme is there to be used. But like Denmark, we should only be helping companies that pay tax fully in the UK.

    Not sure how true, but I read one the other day about Branson, according to that he'd paid no UK tax for the last fourteen years.

    Maybe that’s because he doesn’t reside in the uk full time

    So how is he getting any money? If it is all "paper" money held in stocks and shares, then he could trade them to keep the company going. If he is paid by the companies that are based in the UK that should be taxed. If it isn't, or the companies aren't based in the UK, he shouldn't get any help.
