I promised our analysis of the ยฃ5m gift to Nigel Farage would annoy everybody.
The verdict? He probably doesn't owe any tax.
Why? Because "campaigning for Brexit" isn't a taxable trade, and genuine gifts aren't income.
But there are risks for him.

@alfie_t8 Whilst I do think she's a snake, the way she's been used by the right as an enemy of women, despite being genuinely good on it, always makes me instinctively want to defend her.
@AdamT1875 Condolences Adam. It's the hardest thing imaginable. You'll find such a motivation to make her proud. Legacies live on through people left behind!
@kwiniekwinster@TomTunny93 I'm not saying you're not allowed an opinion ๐ I'm saying that you're embarrassing. If you're really in your 30s you should hang your head in shame
@Kieranbcfc2 The good thing about the last few games is the amount of chances he's getting. A couple today where the cross slightly missed him. Next season I can see him getting 15/20
Graham Linehan should never have been dragged through the courts in the first place.
The real scandal is a system that wastes time on litigious nonsense driven by professional activists while serious crime goes unpunished.
We need to kill cancel culture. Free speech cannot survive if the process becomes the punishment.
This is why I asked Toby Young to review the laws that are stifling free speech so the next Conservative government can put an end to this wasting of our resources.
@Rich98345230676 Yeah I do agree. I think I'm getting a bargain. I think my point is that some people won't be able to afford it and a bit of sympathy / empathy wouldn't go amiss with them.
I don't have a strong opinion about the price increases, but I think people need to show a little more empathy for those, especially in the family stand, where it's going to become unaffordable. No need to be a dick to people. It's a working class sport. #bcfc
@TheGJRichards But also miserable. It may be the way it's going but it's shit for those who may need to pack it in just to survive and lose something that is clearly important to them (which it must be if they've previously had tickets).
Just a symptom of how the world is going.
