:00:45. > :00:49.Good evening, welcome to Have I Got News For You, I'm Stephen Mangan.
:00:49. > :00:54.In the news this week, China, responding to international
:00:54. > :01:04.pressure, Apple grudgingly allow their factory workers out for a
:01:04. > :01:04.
:01:04. > :01:10.five-minute tea break. On the Costa del Sol, as an East
:01:10. > :01:16.End gang, burst into a bank with Shaun-off shotguns, the safe
:01:16. > :01:26.cracker realises he has overslept. And in Westminster, Eric Pickles
:01:26. > :01:27.
:01:27. > :01:32.finally gets round to cleaning the fluff out of his belly button.
:01:32. > :01:37.It's delicious on toast. With Ian tonight is a writer and
:01:37. > :01:47.broadcaster, who says she hates people who are chronically pedantic
:01:47. > :01:47.
:01:47. > :01:53.over puntuation. Hang on, on Ian as team, comma, welcome Grace Dent.
:01:53. > :01:56.And with Paul tonight is the son of a vicar who studied divinity at
:01:56. > :02:01.university, plays a Church of England lay reader in the sitcom
:02:01. > :02:08.Rev, and is odds on to become the Archbishop of Canterbury, Miles
:02:08. > :02:14.Jupp. And we start with the bigger
:02:14. > :02:21.stories of the week. Ian and Grace take a look at this.
:02:21. > :02:25.Tax return. Never a welcome sight. "no tax due", that is a Downing
:02:26. > :02:31.Street kitchen supper. There is George Osborne. Not having a good
:02:31. > :02:34.time. He's just spotted some tax someone's paid. Very, very small.
:02:34. > :02:39.Essentially Osborne was incredibly amazed to find a lot of rich people
:02:39. > :02:45.and companies don't pay any tax. It was a discovery right up there with
:02:45. > :02:49.gravity and DNA. This is the shock news that many people try to avoid
:02:49. > :02:55.paying tax. My favourite is one senior Tory Party donor spent a
:02:55. > :02:59.night in a private jet, flying from Luton Airport out of British
:02:59. > :03:05.Aerospace to avoid staying in the country for more than 90 days, thus
:03:05. > :03:13.qualifying as a resident abroad for tax purps. In a plane. -- Purposes.
:03:13. > :03:18.In a plane? Could he not teter a balloon. You have to leave the
:03:18. > :03:26.airspace. You can't just jump up and down. London Luton is so far
:03:26. > :03:30.away from London is it is in international airspace? He flew
:03:30. > :03:35.from Luton out of London Air space. If you set down anywhere they get
:03:35. > :03:39.you for tax. It is more enjoyable as a rich person and go nowhere,
:03:39. > :03:43.sit in an airport saying you're saving money, they are a miserable
:03:43. > :03:47.bunch. When it comes to tax, what does every politician want?
:03:47. > :03:52.declare their own tax affairs and make them public. Transparency?
:03:52. > :03:56.Exactly. What do they mean in this case? We are not going to do it.
:03:56. > :04:00.They mean revealing a small amount of information that doesn't mean
:04:00. > :04:06.too much. You put income in, if income isn't your big thing, say
:04:06. > :04:13.assets, say you are in the cabinet, thinking randomly, then you don't
:04:13. > :04:17.have to declare those. Transparency up to a point, which is opaque!
:04:18. > :04:21.Make as lot of sense, yes, according to the Guardian there is
:04:22. > :04:25.an agreement between Cameron and Osborne that all senior ministers
:04:25. > :04:31.should be transparent. Let's hope they don't mean Eric
:04:31. > :04:36.Pickles. According to the Express, Cameron
:04:36. > :04:40.is relaxed about revealing his income tax he returns. According to
:04:40. > :04:44.the Telegraph, George Osborne says he hasn't set his face against it.
:04:44. > :04:53.Which face does he use when he sets his face against it, does he use
:04:53. > :04:58.this face. Or this face? Or this face? So why
:04:58. > :05:02.is it all kicking off, what started this rumpus? It is Ken Livingstone,
:05:03. > :05:10.it was discovered that Ken had said that people who avoid tax are rich
:05:10. > :05:15.bastard who is shouldn't be allowed to vote. It turned out he pay as
:05:15. > :05:20.lot of money into a company, which is not taxed at 40%, but corporate
:05:20. > :05:25.tax at 21%, a lot of people thought he's avoiding tax, what a bastard.
:05:25. > :05:35.Then there was a fight between him and Boris. In a radio station?
:05:35. > :05:35.
:05:35. > :05:42.lift. Did he call him a lying banker. I think it was the F-word.
:05:42. > :05:49.So a BEEP lying banker. He's one of our finest banks. You are very
:05:49. > :05:56.close. Boris screamed into Ken's face, you are a beeping liar.
:05:56. > :05:59.Presumably a phrase Boris picked up from his wife! How is Ken's
:05:59. > :06:04.election campaign going? Well, he was shown a film of himself this
:06:04. > :06:07.week, and he was absolutely moved to tears by the image of himself,
:06:07. > :06:11.just people talking about how wonderful he was. He had a little
:06:11. > :06:17.cry. Not just a little cry, a proper cry.
:06:17. > :06:23.It was like a cartoon bear cry. He's saying, I don't believe you're
:06:23. > :06:29.leader of the Labour Party! would be interesting to know what
:06:29. > :06:32.Miliband is smelling at that particular moment! I met Ken just
:06:32. > :06:37.before Christmas, I was doing a panel with him, as part of that
:06:37. > :06:41.panel I was given, someone gave me a gift of the copy of the Koran,
:06:41. > :06:51.afterwards I went into the Green Room, and Ken was sitting on the
:06:51. > :06:51.
:06:51. > :06:56.arm of a sofa, I was carrying the Koran and biro, he looked up at me,
:06:56. > :07:03.and Aspel a joke I said would you sign it for me Ken, and he took it
:07:03. > :07:08.from me and said, yeah, and I know have quite an inflammatory bit of
:07:08. > :07:13.literature in some people's eyes. Which trendy, ultra, touchy-feely
:07:13. > :07:17.companies have been avoiding tax? Amazon, who have made �7 billion
:07:17. > :07:21.and paid no corporate sales tax. That's perfectly reasonable, that
:07:22. > :07:28.is a tax rate of 0%, they have made billions of pounds and they pay no
:07:28. > :07:33.tax, what's your problem. There is a difference between avoidance and
:07:33. > :07:37.evasion. You would evade. I would not. I might evade. I'm not Ken
:07:37. > :07:41.Livingstone, you know. Amazon is under investigation by UK tax
:07:41. > :07:45.authorities for registering its UK sales operation in Luxembourg,
:07:45. > :07:51.claiming only its distribution arm is in the UK. In 2010 they would
:07:51. > :07:56.have paid �35 million in UK tax, but they managed to reduce that
:07:56. > :08:02.slightly to...nothing. Google are using a Dutch Sandwich,
:08:02. > :08:08.have you tried a Dutch Sandwich, Ian? Em... Google's UK operation is
:08:08. > :08:12.based in Ireland, where the rate of tax is half that of Britain, they
:08:12. > :08:18.fundamental the profits via the Netherlands to Bermuda, that
:08:18. > :08:24.enables them to pay a tax rate of a quarter of one per cent. If you
:08:24. > :08:34.Google tax, does it give you nothing? Right, moving from a tax
:08:34. > :08:39.
:08:39. > :08:47.on the rich and privileged to A-ta cks on the rich and trif lijed.
:08:47. > :08:53.Anyone swimming. Trenton Oldfield swam into the middle of the Thames
:08:53. > :09:00.and stopped the boat race. He was encouraging anarchist cleaners to
:09:00. > :09:04.not put toilet paper in the toilets of rich people. They would wipe
:09:04. > :09:11.their bums with poor people. Someone postered this on YouTube of
:09:11. > :09:19.Trenton in action. Trenton, Trenton, Trenton.
:09:19. > :09:29.Trenton. Right, Trenton.
:09:29. > :09:30.
:09:30. > :09:36.Oh Jesus Christ. The crowd were angry, according to
:09:36. > :09:45.the Mail they shouted "boo", and "take him to the tower".
:09:45. > :09:48.And most devastatingly of all, "is it David Walliams?"! This is the
:09:48. > :09:57.row over tax avoidance by the rich, or as they are known since the
:09:57. > :10:00.budget, the richer. According to a recent poll:
:10:00. > :10:04.The other 40% don't follow current affairs.
:10:04. > :10:08.Adding to the heartbreak of the rich, this week was Trenton
:10:08. > :10:13.Oldfield, who disrupted the boat race. To be honest, it is not the
:10:13. > :10:19.first sighting of a turd in the Thames.
:10:19. > :10:24.Yes, this was the 158th boat race, shown live on the BBC, according to
:10:24. > :10:27.the Sun, millions of TV viewers watched in stunned silence or
:10:27. > :10:33.posted angry messages on Twitter, and then a bloke appeared in the
:10:33. > :10:38.water to liven things up. Paul and Miles, some recent history for you.
:10:38. > :10:42.This is the pasty-gate story, David Cameron and the Sunday Times
:10:42. > :10:46.filming this bloke Cruddas, jerry cans, fill it up with petrol, if
:10:46. > :10:51.you haven't one, put it in your mouth. Francis Maude giving
:10:51. > :10:54.ridiculous advice to store petrol in sheds, or second houses. Just
:10:54. > :10:57.absolute nightmare situation, where people are doing this, it is very
:10:57. > :11:01.dangerous. This is the thing about, if you can't store it in your
:11:01. > :11:06.garage, store it in a pasty, at least you know where it is. As long
:11:06. > :11:11.as you don't heat it up, you won't pay 20% tax, or, indeed, blow your
:11:11. > :11:15.house up. It is pasties and petrol, I'm not never she which is which.
:11:15. > :11:19.look back at recent Government gaffes, involving the price of
:11:19. > :11:23.pasties, the panic buying of petrol, and the total pill lock, Peter
:11:23. > :11:28.Cruddas. How did George Osborne turn a pasty into a hot potato?
:11:28. > :11:36.There is some rule, if you buy it cold it is so much money, if it is
:11:36. > :11:40.heated up you pay 20% extra, it is now an ambient pasty, warmer than
:11:40. > :11:45.room temperature. Paul is right, if you queue for the pasty while it is
:11:45. > :11:49.warmed up and it goes cold again, it does this at the graph with what
:11:49. > :11:53.you have to pay. At the beginning of the queue it is 20% up, and then
:11:53. > :11:59.at the end of the queue it is cold it is 20% down. If you take it home
:11:59. > :12:03.and it is cold, you are owed a rebate. It is a terrifically well
:12:03. > :12:07.thought out piece of legislation. After accusations that the
:12:07. > :12:11.Government was out-of-touch with ordinary people's love of pasties,
:12:11. > :12:17.what was David Cameron quick to announce? He said he had one
:12:17. > :12:20.recently. He said it he one in Leeds, and it no longer exists for
:12:20. > :12:25.the last five years, they were relegated from the Premiership and
:12:25. > :12:31.the area was dismandled. It is real acting talent, for all those people.
:12:31. > :12:37.Ed Milliband meetly went with Ed Balls to Greggs, and they both ate
:12:37. > :12:41.a pie, and the Tory cabinet had to all go there, "what is this?".
:12:41. > :12:50.you seen the size of the volume will you vents, they are huge, is
:12:50. > :12:56.there anybody in there. Do you eat pasties? I commute, and
:12:56. > :13:01.I was keen for that tax to go up to �1 million, the train I go on is
:13:01. > :13:04.blokes with too much to drink having a pasty shoving it in their
:13:04. > :13:10.face trying to soak it up. I'm sitting there trying to do the
:13:10. > :13:17.cross words, 20 minutes into the journey, nothing. Sometimes I fill
:13:17. > :13:26.in anything, to make people opposite me think I can do it.
:13:26. > :13:30.That's a sad life you conjure up there, these pasty-chomping, beer-
:13:30. > :13:35.soaked individuals, you are trying to impress by doing the cross word.
:13:35. > :13:42.There is issues of self-esteem here. Very sad. Was it in first class
:13:42. > :13:47.that people sit opposite you eating pasties. It is not first class, it
:13:47. > :13:57.is ordinary. Travelling standard? Yeah. Don't you feel threatened?
:13:57. > :13:58.
:13:58. > :14:02.has his own train! David Cameron said he loved a hot pasty, and had
:14:02. > :14:06.indeed bought one from the west Cornwall Pasty Company, he went on
:14:06. > :14:10.to tell this highly amusing anecdote. I seem to remember I was
:14:10. > :14:13.in Leeds Station at the time, the choice was whether to have one of
:14:13. > :14:21.the small ones or the large one, I have a feeling I opted for the
:14:21. > :14:27.large one and very good it was too. I think he was talking about the
:14:27. > :14:32.pasties there, not Leeds Station's wide variety of prostitutes. So was
:14:32. > :14:37.that an end? What did you say then? I didn't say anything. You are
:14:37. > :14:41.miming to a backing tape. I was out of British Aerospace at that time.
:14:41. > :14:43.Was that an end to the matter? Probably not. Everyone jumped on
:14:43. > :14:47.the bandwagon, a spokesman announced that Nick Clegg had eaten
:14:47. > :14:53.a pasty in the last few months at Paddington station.
:14:53. > :14:59.How big was it, if it's taken him a few months to eat it.
:14:59. > :15:03.He was waiting for Ian to turn up with the crossword. Ed Davey, the
:15:03. > :15:09.Energy Secretary, Lib Dem, announced he loves Cornish pasties,
:15:09. > :15:13.and once worked in a pork pie factory. Now he works in an even
:15:13. > :15:20.bigger one! We also saw Peter Cruddas, who was the Tory Party co-
:15:20. > :15:25.treasurer, what was he offering to feet to David Cameron? Money.
:15:25. > :15:29.Donors, you have to have dinner with Cameron if you paid enough
:15:29. > :15:35.money. You could influence Government policy for literally
:15:35. > :15:39.�250,000. Labour should have put up somebody, paid �250,000 go, in
:15:39. > :15:44.there, influence Government policy. Easy, don't win an election.
:15:44. > :15:48.Cruddas was secretly filmed offering access to David Cameron in
:15:48. > :15:55.exchange for large donations to the Tory Party, and offering to feed
:15:55. > :15:58.their suggestions in. Let's have a look. �200,000, �250,000 is Premier
:15:58. > :16:03.League. If you are unhappy about something, we will listen to you,
:16:03. > :16:07.and put it into the policy committee at Number Ten. We feed
:16:07. > :16:13.all feedback into the policy committee.
:16:13. > :16:17.What you can't see is he's talking to Nick Clegg! According to the
:16:17. > :16:21.Sunday Times Peter Cruddas boasted that he had flattered one donor,
:16:21. > :16:27.Lord Glendonbrook, into making a million pound donation, how did he
:16:27. > :16:32.do that? He said he would put him on the bank notes. It was a pyjama
:16:32. > :16:37.party at Number Ten, �250,000 gets you dinner, if you pay more, you
:16:37. > :16:42.can stay on for the...entertainment. They get a bit drunk, there is a
:16:42. > :16:47.bottle of whatever, they say let's play twister, and they go, I've
:16:47. > :16:52.forgotten my trousers, it is one of those nights.
:16:52. > :16:56.They go, it is a bit late, why don't you stay, I haven't got any
:16:56. > :17:02.pyjamas, and it doesn't matter. will put the central heating on,
:17:02. > :17:05.you wake up in the morning feeling so...oh sorry! He flattered him
:17:05. > :17:09.into doing it by presenting him with a birthday card, personally
:17:09. > :17:13.signed by David Cameron. When the undercover reporters asked what
:17:13. > :17:20.tactics he had used to persuade the Prime Minister to make the gesture.
:17:20. > :17:27.He replied, I told Number Ten, get him to sign the frigg ing card. The
:17:27. > :17:33.spotlight was on other donors, Baron Laidlaw has naid donations
:17:33. > :17:37.totalling �3 million, but heeped imbarsment on when admitting he was
:17:37. > :17:41.an orgy loving sex addict, Mr Cameron was forced to withdraw the
:17:41. > :17:46.whip! How did Francis Maude deftly manage to distract attention from
:17:46. > :17:53.the damage being done by pasties and Peter Cruddas? Put petrol in
:17:53. > :17:57.your bath! Drink as much of it as you can, keep it in your hat. Is
:17:57. > :18:03.there a spare pram in the hallway the children are growing out of,
:18:03. > :18:07.cover it in petrol, and push it outside on a hot sunny day, with
:18:07. > :18:11.magnified glass above it. Make your children wear paper clothes. All
:18:11. > :18:15.that sort of stuff. He suggested that a bit of extra
:18:16. > :18:22.fuel in a injurey can in the garage is a sensible precaution to take.
:18:22. > :18:29.Instead of rushesing to the garage to panic buy petrol, thousands
:18:29. > :18:36.rushed to Halfords to panic buy jerry cans, sales of which went up
:18:36. > :18:40.500%. Having given his verdict on the
:18:40. > :18:43.utter stupidity of panic buying petrol, he added, he was sitting in
:18:44. > :18:50.the queue for an hour. This is the run of scandals, including pasty-
:18:50. > :18:55.gate, dinner-gate, and the totally unnecessary panic over petrol,
:18:55. > :18:59.caused by ill-advised comments of Francis Maude-gate. David Cameron
:18:59. > :19:06.now claims he always has an end of the day pasty on the train.
:19:06. > :19:10.David, that's a beef Wellington! David Cameron claimed to have had a
:19:10. > :19:15.pastey and a Yorkshire pasty shop that had closed five years earlier,
:19:15. > :19:18.just after Eric Pickles moved from Yorkshire to London.
:19:18. > :19:23.As panic-buying continued, one AA man reported seeing a 75-year-old
:19:23. > :19:27.woman at a petrol station filling up 20 empty paint tins, and a tray
:19:27. > :19:33.of jam jars. Which sounds mad, but to be fair,
:19:33. > :19:39.it is the only way to store it, as she didn't have a car.
:19:39. > :19:43.Time now for the odd one out round. Your four are, the First Lady of
:19:43. > :19:53.Syria, Asma Al-Assad, Anthony Worrall-Thompson, a passenger
:19:53. > :19:53.
:19:53. > :19:57.aboard a private jet at Luton Airport, and the on-line shopper,
:19:57. > :20:04.Mr Cheo. She does on-line shopping, you can see what she has been
:20:04. > :20:08.treating herself to while thousands are being killed. It would get you
:20:08. > :20:13.down. Anthony Worrall-Thompson shops with the five-fringeered
:20:13. > :20:19.discount. What does that mean? Nicking stuff. Different world,
:20:19. > :20:23.innit, me and you. Who is the guy, he's buying things?
:20:23. > :20:30.He's an on-line shopper, that's the clue. He's shopping on-line, I
:20:30. > :20:36.reckon. It's like watching Sherlock homes
:20:36. > :20:41.at his finest. Teasing out the truth from a slender strand of clue.
:20:41. > :20:47.They are all candidates to become the next director-general. What,
:20:47. > :20:55.including Luton Airport. Is it tax? It is to do with paying? He doesn't
:20:55. > :20:58.pay. She hasn't paid any of her bills? Not quite. We don't know!
:20:58. > :21:02.The general air of gloom and despondancy we add to, we don't
:21:02. > :21:12.know either. They have all avoided paying the full amount, apart from
:21:12. > :21:12.
:21:12. > :21:16.an on-line shopper, named Mr Cheo, who paid a total of $12 million
:21:16. > :21:21.Taiwanese dollars to buy a croissant over the Internet. How
:21:21. > :21:31.did he do that? Pressed button of do you want to pay millions for
:21:31. > :21:35.this, and he pressed the button. translates as �250,000? Dinner with
:21:35. > :21:42.David Cameron. It wasn't a Nigerian writing to him saying would you
:21:42. > :21:45.like one of the fine croissants. You have inherited the croissants?
:21:45. > :21:50.Your uncle, Greggs the baker has died. He kept paying over and over
:21:50. > :21:57.again, after a number of phone calls asking for repayments from
:21:57. > :22:01.the skound reels, before his bank details were used to fleece him out
:22:02. > :22:07.of cash. He ended up paying �250,000? He couldn't have done.
:22:07. > :22:13.Where would he get it from. He's obviously a very rich man. How can
:22:13. > :22:17.anybody that stupid, unless he has inherited it, I have �250,000, I
:22:17. > :22:27.ain't half hungry, I'll have one of them. The fact is, he never
:22:27. > :22:29.
:22:29. > :22:33.received his croissant. It just gets worse and worse.
