Man who deliberately avoids paying UK tax complaining about people abusing the system 🤷🏻♂️

The even more unbelievable crime fact (which I learned relatively recently) is that burglary has fallen by more than 90% since the 1990s.
Did anyone notice? Nope. Does anyone believe it? Nope. But is is true? It is!

Derek is always brilliant but this is a surprisingly great thread about wealth and patronage and support for the arts and only a little bit about rich men wearing bad suits.
Any time I talk about a wealthy person's outfit, someone in the comments is quick to reply: "They're rich, you think they care?" No one has to care about my opinions or clothes, regardless of net worth.
