Ye Gods, it wasn't even close.

As Bill Shankly himself might have said, "They were lucky to get Nil".

Congratulations Sir Ken. You will be able to share tips and reminiscences in the afterlife with that other master of tax avoidance, the Socialist stalwart Tony 'Tax Must Be Compulsory For All, Except Me' Benn.

27.5 million for telling jokes.

£336,000 found in suitcases in his attic.

Sir Ken (cash in hand) Dodd. He even makes us laugh after he's dead.

Good on him. The state shouldn't steal from the dead. The millibands of course maximised their legal ways to avoid inheritance tax when their dad died and left a large estate. Lbour are always "do as I say not as I do"...
