Really strange that when we had a labour leader who WOULD HAVE ACTUALLY DONE IT, I.E CORBYN. ll linekar could do was sla g him off. Linekar knows his millions are safe under burnham, thats why he is saying this.
Pause Switch to Standard View gary linekar....calling for more tax...

Nothing to stop the vermin sending a cheque to the gov every month, no publicity in it though.

Corbyn was/is a total buffoon of the tofu cordroy variety.

The adulation for him is baffling.

"No opinion on Brexit" to reporters 36 hours before 2019 GE.
"Run the nuclrear subs without nukes to save the jobs" at £6 Billion per year.
Plus a bucketful of other equally fruit and nutcase plans.

What an utter (redacted)

The thread is about Saint Linekar, not Corbyn  Crazy

hope saint Linekar doesnt have any tax avoidance schemes - no Isa, no pension tax reliefs

he should make and publish his voluntary tax gift to HMRC and we would take him more seriously

Saddo doesn't get it, beer goggles fogging his brain.

On how many more threads can he prove his idiocy.

Linekar and 150 other high net worth people who signed this 'press release' are patriotic... Like you claim to be.
They are literally saying, hey "we want to help make UK great again", people of HNW won't miss another £500,000 a year and together that'll add up to a few £billion a year which will help UK.


This isn't showboating as far as I can tell, seems genuine.

Why are you so sour about this?

Donny runs away from one thread and attacks on another, delicious.
If Linekar just wanted to pay more money, he'd pay it, without showboating.

I don’t think he is saying that so as usual on here taking out of context.
He is saying there should be higher tax for wealthy, he’d be quite prepared to pay, him making a donation is helping little, everyone as wealthy as him having to pay would make massive difference.
Stick to facts.
Report Cider July 24, 2026 10:47 AM BST
If he thinks there should be a higher tax for the wealthy, it is VERY easy to lead the way. Instead of just virtue signalling for the plebs.

After all, that is the daft philosophy behind nut zero. That somehow, people will see you making yourself poorer, and follow you in.

Or perhaps, like nearly everyone else on the far left, he wants everyone else to pay more tax, aside from him Plain

It’s not easy for yer man linekar to tax rich, he’s not a politician or in the cabinet, not sure what net zero has to do with him either.
Report Cider July 24, 2026 11:37 AM BST
It's in his gift to pay more tax. Wasn't there over 100 other fellow travellers? that's a lot of tax, from people who want to pay more. If only there was a method to self serve...

As Sir Alex wrote in his book if you vote Tory you are either wealthy or a fool, check you’re bank account to see what category you are in, I suspect he’d say same about reform.

Loads of miners where I grew up. Lots of jobs around when we left school,
but some of my mates couldn't wait to get down there, it paid a lot more
than anything else available, it was certainly not the only option.

Yes, early 70s I'm on about. There was a pit disaster at Lofthouse where we lived, but my pals
were training down the 'F@nny pit' (named after the owner's daughter) at Rothwell where we schooled,
so not involved. I went down a coal face there once, I'm a bit claustrophobic and wasn't too keen.

Mechanisation had taken a lot of the graft out of it by the 70s, I never heard anyone complain
about the job, but often heard people laughing about how much they earned for the effort they put in.
They got greedy and Scargill ruined it for all of them, turkeys voting for Christmas scenario.

I suppose it depends what pit they worked in, I doubt they were all the same, 1974 Health and Safety act would obviously have been a driver in change throughout the industry. All gone now.

The legislation means Sir Keir is exempt from paying tax on pensions savings over £1m. It is not clear whether the Labour leader has saved enough to have benefited from the scheme.

Probably one policy he didn't u turn on.
