      He’s a fine one to talk but I do rather like the concept of of taxes correlating with age before culminating in 100% IHT.

      More money when you need it and less money when you don’t, doesn’t matter how successful you are.

      Did he not say that he would tax only people between 30 and 60 years old? I thought that was his stance.

      Tax the old, says man with extensive plastic surgery to make him not look old.

      I bet he’s paid more in his life to look like Action Mans half Brother, than I’ve ever earned.

      I like Jimmy, but this isn’t a good take

      Tax is a necessary bastard, unfortunately

      I don’t actually care what Jimmy Carr has to say about tax. He’s not a macroeconomist. He can have opinions and if they’re backed up by evidence and empiricism fair enough, but it sounds like more vibes economics to me.

      Alright, Jimmy, do Riyadh next as a commentary on life thing…

    9. Cold-Sun3302 on

      I have never cared for his comedy, and I care even less for his political opinions (or opinions in general).

      Tom from LBC works how many hours a day? Why is he got an opinion always on the poor, disabled etc etc but never ever expresses a view that maybe, just maybe, the extreme wealth tax avoiders (like his guest Jimmy) are the problem.

      You use our land, people (for employees & customers) government to create wealth for yourself then piss off to another country that supposedly their social problems you hate and that immigration is the problem whilst you piss off to Dubai with your millions whilst the country has people working and needing the basics in life like food banks whilst we have state banquets and more than enough money to solve these problems. Where are the supposed patriots?

      Lastly, I’m very happy that half a million kids are being lifted out of poverty.

      Tax dodger Jimmy Carr offering what he thinks is productive advice on tax collection. No thanks.

    12. AdLost576 on

      Tax people who support Graham Linehan the plastic looking twat.

      Says the guy who will do anything for a bit of cash. 🤣

    14. WollemiaShagger on

      He looks more and more like Quagmire from family guy

    15. meharryp on

      guy who got accused of dodging tax doesnt want to be taxed more

    16. jenny_905 on

      He was just on the radio there saying it’s OK that he dodges tax because he apparently gives to charity.

      He also supports the IDF but there you go, that’s presumably why he gets a platform on LBC.

    17. Thebritishdovah on

      Says the tax dodger and someone who looks like be is an android but a temu one.

      A single rich person’s taxes is likely more then what I make in an entire year.

    18. FaithWandering on

      I’ve seen him pop up a few times discussing policy and taxation. He’s resting the waters to run for parliament with Reform isn’t he…

      “Don’t tax the rich”

      Says rich man who famously doesn’t like paying tax

    20. foodieshoes on

      For me, Jimmy Carr like Bill Burr have lost a lot of respect after doing the Riyadh comedy festival.

    21. srogijogi on

      53 years old is saying that old people need to be taxed more. True comedian he is!

    22. ReligiousGhoul on

      Honestly, kinda preferred him before he bought into the Joe Rogan “Comedians are the modern day philosophers and wise men”.

    23. Matt-the-mutt on

      Tax shit comics that take money Saudi government to perform at some “comedy festival”

    24. gnomishdevil on

      He’s looking more like Guy Smiley from Sesame street these days

    25. Efficient_Sky5173 on

      More tax won’t solve the problems. Soon the problems will creep up again. It’s lack of international competitiveness. It’s a mindset issue.

    26. ihateeverythingandu on

      Should he be talking about taxes at all given his history?

    27. long_legged_twat on

      Seeing as the fucker won’t even pay his own taxes I think he can fuck off with his opinions…

    28. Gold_Leef101 on

      Remove the Winter Cruise Allowance from those who voted for Wrecksit, they can view it as a contribution towards the tax take loss.

    29. Future_Pianist9570 on

      “Rich man who was done for tax avoidance says ‘don’t tax me’”

    30. Imaginary-Risk on

      I find him funny on stage but every time he farts out an opinion it’s terrible

    31. duxwontobey on

      I think I’d rather get the taxes from millionaire tax dodgers like this cunt than some old lady who has to turn off the heating most days to get by. Might just be me tho.

    32. DeepestShallows on

      Quite a simple fix: raise tax on pensions. Tax it when it goes in from wages and as now when it comes out.

      Private pensions in the UK are worth about two trillion pounds. Which dwarfs any super wealthy individual’s wealth.

      That’s where the money is. So tax it.

    33. Smooth-Quantity-7024 on

      I’m slowly starting to feel Jimmy Carr is a bit of a twat

    34. PeriPeriTekken on

      We need to tax the old and the rich. Or at least stop giving the old such massive handouts.

      But we also need some sort of industrial policy so we’re not just battering different bits of a shrinking tax base for more cash.

    35. jj_HeRo on

      Yeeeeeea… nope. Let’s tax the rich and see what happens.

    36. One_Anteater_9234 on

      I would agree. Older had it easy and have reaped all the benefits while closing the door behind them

    37. Expert_Temporary660 on

      What the fuck does he know about tax, other than avoiding it.
