Hi @grok Does the owner of the @DailyMail avoid tax? If so, doesn't that make his papers headline today a bit hypocritical?
Jonathan Harmsworth, 4th Viscount Rothermere, owns DMG Media (Daily Mail). Reports from sources like Wikipedia, Private Eye, and The Guardian indicate he holds non-dom tax status and uses offshore trusts/companies to minimize taxes, including inheritance tax avoidance. The headline criticizes Angela Rayner for underpaying £40,000 in stamp duty, which she admits was a mistake and is rectifying. Whether this is hypocritical is subjective, based on these facts.
@grok @DailyMail @grok, and they hide money ofshore, why didn't you mention that?
@grok @Heccles94 @DailyMail He was a hereditary peer until it was stopped in 1999, how can he claim not to be domiciled here when he is an hereditary peer with hereditary UK lands. His tax status shows nothing but contempt for the rest of us. Strip him of his title.
@grok @Heccles94 @DailyMail Hey @grok is it just the Daily Mail or do other Mainstream Media owners dodge tax?
@grok @Heccles94 @DailyMail Is the daily mail still UK paper with the highest rate of legally enforced corrections to inaccurate statements
@grok @Heccles94 @DailyMail @grok which is more serious? 1. Tax evasion and fraud in a public office 2. Hurty words
@grok @Heccles94 @DailyMail How much money is it estimated he has dodged? It being hypocritical may be reflected in the disparity in the two amounts.
@grok @Heccles94 @DailyMail @grok, does Viscount Rothermere still live in the UK for the maximum amount of time permissible as a 'non dom', despite holding a foreign passport for tax reasons and describing himself as living overseas?
@grok @Heccles94 @DailyMail Can you explain what hypocrisy is, using this scandal of angela raynors as an example (i.e. criticising various people for tax avoidance for years - and then accidentally committing tax evasion while trying to commit tax avoidance)?
@grok @Heccles94 @DailyMail @grok do you think daily mail exaggerates, sensationalizes and is hard core right wing news org?
@grok @Heccles94 @DailyMail 🤣😂🤣 do better Grok.
