Celtic Diary Wednesday November 8: Silly Season For Media

Theres no football this week, but the media have to fill their pages and screens and so we get mid season silly season of stories.

The “biggest ” one aired on BBC Scotland last night, with Mark Daly exposing an Irishman who cut down on his tax bill in Switzerland by creating a company in the Isle of Man.

Daly owed the BBC one after his Men Who Sold The Jerseys documentary on the EBT scandal at the original Rangers, so presumably he has maintained the balance with his exposee on Dermot Desmond, the biggest single shareholder at Celtic.

Daly was seen following Desmond and asking him if he set up the Isle of Man company for tax reasons, like anybody else who wants to cut their tax bill legally would.

Quite why the BBC are interested in Swiss taxpayers wasn’t mentioned, and the only somewhat tenuous link to Scotland was that Desmond sometimes goes to games there, but I’m sure the Swiss will be grateful to be told that someone is not breaking their laws.

Desmond himself reacted with a letter to Daly, which was probably rewritten a few times to filter out the swear words..

Full Dermot Desmond letter to the BBC

After the opening question, I would have put..

Then fuck off, your clubs deid  

And left it at that.

 

Rangers tax case cut to the chase…

Over on Kerrydale Street, corsica1968 summed it all up

Over the course of 2012-13, I had numerous discussions with two journalists and a senior commissioning producer at the BBC regarding the Rangers charity theft. Despite providing them with all written evidence (some of which I couldn’t even make public as it would have betrayed sources) that proved beyond doubt how nearly £500k was illegally diverted from the Rangers charity to Rangers and Sevco, they decided against proceeding with the proposed documentary. The reasons given were that a senior manager at BBC Scotland had threatened to leak their names in advance and the subsequent threats, harassment and intimidation would simply not be worth it. One of those journalists was a certain Mr Daly.

We all know about Charlotte Fakes, Minty, etc as do the BBC, The Guardian and just about every investigative journalist in the UK. And then there is GASL – a convicted tax cheat. How have these issues been investigated?…

Let’s remind ourselves that Murray et al stole c£28 from every single person in Scotland when Rangers went bust. To which we can add the c£0.6bn he cost us all when the parent company went bust (although he managed to walk away with the crown jewels from that for a pittance). But the BBC now see fit to lead their news with a story about an Irish billionaire who “may have avoided £1m” in Swiss taxes???

This is exactly like the Desmond care home story – a bigoted squirrel. 

 

This is not a bigoted squirrel, it; Neil Lennon, and presumably the caption writer at SKy sports News is a big fan and still in denial thats he’s left…

Remember Tony Cascarino ?

I do. He was the Irish international who had no qualifications at all to play for Ireland, except that he was a footballer.

Which itself is debatable.

He left Celtic to join Chelsea in a swap deal that had Tommy Boyd rushing up north to complete his dream move.

He’s found his new level at Talkshite radio, who wind Celtic fans up in an attempt to at least get some listeners..

On the unbeaten run he said;

“Domestically, they are so far ahead, they’re miles ahead.

“But they’ve lost to Astana, who are from Kazakhstan, in the Champions League.

“They’ve been bashed up 5-0 by PSG. Okay, PSG are capable of beating any team. 

“Been beaten by Bayern Munich home and away this season, also. They’ve drawn with Rosenborg in the European qualifying campaign.

“So it is clear that they are in a completely different level from everyone domestically but are still NOT a great side. 

Just look at the point total last year, you know? It’s just so ridiculous that we can’t give Celtic too much credit.

“So to justify this great run that they’ve been on, well, who have they actually beat?

“You know, beating Ross County, beating St Johnstone, when this team is clearly miles ahead of the rest.

“I think, what was the record before, it was 100 years ago wasn’t it? So we’re talking 100 years ago of this record, it just feels like it means nothing.”

The picture above says match, so I found one.

Image result for donkey

No one asked hi what his point was, largely because apart from talking down Celtic’s achievement , there didn’t seem to be one.

To not lose a game in nearly eighteen months is a fantastic achievement, whatever the level.

Sky Sports Jamie Redknapp was a little more respectful….

“Brendan Rodgers has done a remarkable job at Celtic, where he is now unbeaten for a British record 63 domestic games,” 

“Only a fool would say that his achievements are merely down to the standard of the Scottish Premiership. 

See above, I suppose.

 

Neil Lennon gave Cascarino the rough edge of his tongue..

It is disrespectful. How much Scottish football does Tony [Cascarino] watch?” 

“To go 63 games at any level is remarkable. Celtic are an excellent side and they proved that with a few games in the Champions League.

“I’ve seen some absolute rubbish in England. Rubbish,” slammed Lennon. “Over the weekend, there were three or four 1-0s. I watch some games in the Championship and the football is eye-bleeding, whereas I have seen some really good games up here.

“If there could be an injection of money, you would see a huge difference in the Scottish game but it is doing best and it is improving.”  

 

Something does have to give. The Scottish Footbll supporters Association have released the results of their survey of over 16,000 fans, which confirmed what we all knew.

There is no trust in the governing bodies and more than half of all supporters might walk away from the game.

Now that thats out there, who will take it to the next level and push for change ?

Someone has to…the SFA/SPFL and mainstream media won’t…

 

We have to go back to Monday for the last caption competition…

The media is biased in Scotland. What a shocker? But surely no one associated with Celtic is going to defend a scumbag like Dermot Desmond, a crook and aggressive tax dodger. Desmond is just a successful David Murray. he is a thief and believes himself to above the law and common decency. He makes millions of pounds every year yet decides he should make even more by refusing to pay tax like every body else. this is what Rangers did? i have read celtic supporters coming out with the scumbag defence yesterdaY, ‘Tax avoidance is legal, tax evasion is against the law’. Exactly the same defence used by Murray and the EBT crowd. Unbelievable. Remember when the Huns started to use EBTs they ere not actually illegal. They were advised to pay up the tax and did not and eventually the government closed certain loopholes and the Huns got done banged to rights. just because this guy is Irish and a share-holder in Celtic does not mean that he is not a low life scummy cheat. Hopefully he will be asked to sell his share-holding as being associated with him is embarrassing for a club like Celtic who represent different people than him. Decent, honest people. Remember he is named in both the Panama Papers and the Paradise Papers and is at this nonsense all over the globe. We need to be whiter than white. We can’t excuse people like this while rightly criticising the Huns. It would be hypocritical.

Dermot Desmond did not cheat or steal any money from UK tax payers unlike the gang of crooks at sevco, and the fact that he is a foreign billionaire who makes use of loop holes to ameliorate his financial position is TOTALLY FUCKING IRRELEVANT to the citizens of this country.

So why is this being highlighted?

Duuuh! Might it have something to do with the SMSM attempting to attach guilt by association to Celtic because he is the largest shareholder, and the fact that they have nothing else to use against us in order to try and even things up with the criminals who run things at Ibrox?

Meanwhile BBC Scotland blithely continue to insult the intelligence of its customers by employing a motley crew of UK tax dodgers who are paraded on its sports programmes on a daily basis.

For fuck’s sake mate you need to wise up, unless of course you are a hun, in which case there is no hope for you and you can fester in your hate and delusion.

If the tax avoidance (£1M over 3 yrs) by Desmond – an Irish national – had cost the British taxpayer anywhere near the scale of the vast sums ripped off by the Teflon Knight, it would indeed be hypocritical of Celtic fans to defend him.

However, to suggest – as BBC Scotland did – that investigating this is in the Scottish public interest (more accurately those peepul with an anti-Celtic agenda) brings the publicly funded national broadcaster down to the level of the lowest gutter press scum in search of headline hits.

The true hypocrisy here is the utter failure of the Scottish media to apply equally forensic scrutiny to the affairs of a Scottish Knight with links to the Channel Islands, who was not only behind a tax evasion scheme deemed illegal by the Supreme Court, but went bankrupt owing £625M to the public purse in the shape of (post bail out) Lloyds bank. (Not to mention another £70M owed by Oldco, his perjury in court, and his attempts to cover this up)

Equally hypocritical is their failure to tackle the biggest financial scandal in Scottish sporting history in the shape of the poisonous incestuous relationship between Scottish football authorities and the (for want of a better word) “club” from Ibrokes.

Sure, by all means criticise a rich man’s tax methods, but to do so without putting it into it’s proper context is – at best – disingenuous.

John, what a total crock of shit that is.

What has Desmond’s fully paid up and legal tax situation got in common with Murray’s CHEATING or EBT’s illegally administrated?
That’s right John, you were wrong on the EBT’s too. The side letters made them illegal.

From what I’ve read Desmond is meticulous in his control of tax payments, he is not accused of any discernable wrongdoing nor is he accused of any abuse of the existing tax regimes. In fact the whole thing is a thinly disguised attempt to tie Celtic to a tax scheme legal though it is.

The facts are simple. Neither Desmond or Celtic have done anything wrong but a HUN desperation to attach any scandal to us is palpable, be it land scams, tax or poppy shit, you name it, they will try it.

You John fell for it big time. An Irish Billionaire, who happens to be a CELTIC Shareholder went elsewhere for his insurance and saved money Legally by doing so. Whoopy Fkn Do.

Political dogma aside, if it had not been for John Kean going to the bank and taking £1.00 million pounds out of his own pocket, without hesitation and transferring it into Celtic’s bank, there would be NO Celtic as we know it.
Our enemies (Masterton and Murray et al.) were intent in closing us down, then as we all know wee Fergus came in and the rest is history.
They both risked their own fortunes to help Celtic when it was facing its darkest hour. You can argue all you want but that is the clear truth, its also true that Fergus got an awful lot of money in return and its also true to say that he could have put a lot more back into Celtic. For me on balance I think what the wee man did was an extraordinary act of love for the club he supported all his life, we also must thank John Kean for his most unselfish act.
It is my belief that Desmond puts a lot of extra cash into the club, more I think than we know, he is on record acknowledging his love for Celtic, a Celtic supporter, how he got his money and how he makes his money well for me if its legal and how he pays his tax’s if it is legal and it is, is up to him, I do not judge people on race colour religion or wealth, I merely judge people on how they treat other people.
I distrust all politicians and political parties as in the main, to me they are mainly init for themselves, at a drop of a hat, they sell their souls to the devil, that devil is…..money.

So it is Ok to be a tax dodging scum bag if you own shares in Celtic and are Irish. Where are your principles? You don’t have any. You ahve no right to cirticise the old dead Rangers as they were avoiding tax as is Desmond. Tax avoidance/evasion is one of the main reasons for austerity and huge cutcacks in education and health care and other services. But ‘he is a tim n at its OK’. what a bunch of hypocrites you are. Also snivelling grovelling no marks that tug your forelock to your so called betters. I have no care what team the man supports, although I doubt it is Celtic for all the time he spends watching the club, where he comes from or what religion he is. he is a low life that would rather spend hundreds of thousands on lawyers and accountants than pay his fair share. The Huns are having a right old laugh because he this and also at the pathetic justification bf Celtic supporters for this thief. You may still support Celtic, however you are traitors to your class. You should be ashamed.

John when did you lose your marbles? Tax has been paid by an Irishman with a business in Switzerland and a holding company in the Isle of Man. There has been NO cheating. That’s the difference in following the law to minimize your tax payments and breaking the law to avoid tax altogether. There is no moral equivalency here with oldco or newco and to suggest it suggests that you have some odd and somewhat pathological dislike of successful Irishmen

John is a Tim hater, all of the articles in the media are about tax dodgers which includes the Queen.They raised issues about Swiss tax dodging, why to implicate Desmond. All things associated with our club are trolled by the media.
Whereas the blatant stealing on the south side are ignored. These people are dying out, their walks reduce every year, their team is dire. Their motto should be
‘ infamy, infamy, everybody’s got it in for me.’

We know all of this about the Queen, Sevco and the Scottish media you dolt. But how does this justify the practises of Desmond. Why would anyone attempt to defend the thief. That is the question. Cartvale you sound exactly like a Hun. Deflect, deflect deflect. What ever next ‘Avoidance is legal, evasion is not’. As a football club Celtic hold itself and portrays itself to a higher standard than others. As do the supporters. You might have heard the supporters describe the club as ‘a club like no other’. Higher standards required. Better people. this is destroyed through an association with people like desmond. Who is just a smore successful David Murray and a smarter Dave King. At worst a criminal, at best an amoral cheat. but the deflection is a good tactic.

I’d also be very careful about calling DD a “cheat” and a “thief.” Ethical issues surrounding tax planning aside, DD has not broken any laws, either in the UK or Switzerland.

And any attempt to equate DD’s non-Celtic related, LEGAL, tax planning with the 10+ years systematic tax evasion and cheating of diedco is frankly pathetic.

Your attempts to bring in the ‘avoidance is ok’ argument is pathetic (that is exactly what the HUNS DID) and the automatic ‘yer a hun’ proves you have no argument . You simply seek to justify the amorality of ‘one of our own’. Because Desmond is just like you, just another Celtic supporter not an international tax cheat. Thankfully desmond has little to do with our club he does not put extra money into it as he is far too smart. He knows pouring money into a football club is a black-hole and has said that celtic should pay its own way. So I am glad at that. i am just horrfied at so many Celtic supporters willing to defend this guy. he should not be allowed to have anything to do with the club. Like many other Tories we have happily allowed to besmirch the name of the club.

Caption- Derek McInnes:” I keep having this dream that I should either stay at Aberdeen of jump from this great height and see what happens. Is it an omen?”
Dermot Desmond is neither resident in this country nor is he a UK citizen. He is an global corporate business man who deals in wealth issues we can nearly get our head around. He judges he is going his shareholders, employees and self a favour by legally minimising his tax obligations. A sizeable part of Ireland’s financial sector for years was based on exploiting loopholes in their EU partners tax laws, being bailed out by the EU finished that. The responsibility primarily lies on the Government to plug loopholes. First they concentrate on those who seek to use the public services our taxes pay for and then can focus on overseas investors who I believe they actually encourage, which way do they want it?

It is the David Murray defence that is what the Huns are still saying . EBTs were not illegal. Tax avoidance is legal, tax evasion is not’ It is the mantra of the morally bankrupt and their stupid supporters in the working class who rather than demand action against them simply do nothing. And from the comments on here 90% of you are liars and have absolutely no integrity what so ever. Or you are really, really stupid. just because someone is associated with Celtic does not mean you have to support their actions. Unless you have the mentality of a retarded 12 year old. you are all saying exactly the same things the Huns were saying 5 years ago. it is not illegal, it is only morally reprehensible. Someone even says how he earns his wealth does not matter. the way these people behave is hugely damaging to the way people live every day. if they avoid tax, less money is available for public services. Who suffers? The working class mainly. They are stealing from you? Your schools are worse (we can see that is true due to the lack of joined up thinking on here), hospitals are worse, the entire infrastructure of the country is diminished and then when things hit rock bottom their pals in government sell of the public services cheaper because they do not run as well and then prices rocket as public becomes private. it is not a matter of whether he has broken the law (now we are all sticklers for the law) what he does is morally bankrupt. look at the other s named in these leaks the grubbiest scum bags on the planet. they employ accountants at hundreds of pounds an hour to find any loophole to avoid paying what they should be paying and then they go it is the law, we can legally cheat on our taxes. we are avoiding paying tax not evading paying tax. You try it with your rent or mortgage. I am not refusing to pay my mortgage I am avoiding paying it. result homelessness. And what has he done that is illegal is exactly what the papers said about Murray for 5 years. If he is doing nothing untoward why is he threatening to sue the BBC not for defamation but for invasion of privacy. Why is he being so secretive. He cannot sue for defamation because no one has defamed him. he is saying he wants to keep all of his financial dealings secret. Do you know who else does this? Dave King. he is a man for secrecy. Next time your are dropping off a few tins for the foodbank collection think about the millions that Desmond has in his secret bank accounts and all the lawyers and accountants he employs to save on tax, and remember it is the poor who give to the poor not the Desmonds of this world. And then think about what this type of character has to do with the ethos of Celtic Football club. Does any of it make sense? but you fellas will all be chanting his name and revel in the fact that Dermot is better than me and does not needto obey the same rules as me. Good old Dermot

Ah the ‘ye wid dae the same yersell’ argument. So that makes it OK. this is why the working class get absolutely hammered every single day because of their weakness and stupidity. this man makes millions he uses public services and many of his employees are exploited as they earn more money for him than he pays them (the very nature of capitalism) then he takes these huge profits and pays all manner of people to ensure that he does not pay tax. Tax which could be used to improve the services and the lives of the people he already exploits to make his huge profits. And do you kno what soem idiots sit back and say ‘isn’t he clever’. As he urinates all over them they only ask for more. What about what’s fair? Not, what can i get away with’? your attempts at justification were all tried by old Rangers and their supporters and they all failed.

Ive been employed, Ive been self employed, both many times.
The “working class” hand on heart pish is just that, pish.

The easiest way to make all things equal in this world…make everyone self employed…then you soon see their true selves.

Make everyone self employed and self dependent…simplistic but would solve a lot of issues including the them and us attitudes.

Desi Mond…we can’t all be a nation of shopkeepers…

I never said we should but nothing to stop everyone being in charge of their own tax returns.

I wasnt meaning you regards ‘them and us’, I meant the social split between employee and employer, worker and director…
