Wow. Just, wow.
My new book, the Courageous State is now available, and will be on sale from Amazon and such sites within days
I'm sure he'll try to justify this in terms of the proposed abolition of Low Value Consignment Relief. But, with Ritchie having campaigned for so long against tax avoidance, it's hard not to see this as a triumph of his own personal greed over the principles he so readily seeks to apply to everyone else.
Twat.
Have some pity on the poor chap; he's caught between a rock and a hard place here if he actually wants anyone to be able to buy the book - though from what I can tell he's posted most of it on his blog anyway... Besides, we all know that morals are absolute when applied by Ritchie to people he doesn't like, but relative when applied to him or his supporters - viz the mauling he gave Barclays over getting a low tax rate because of SSE while completely ignoring the Guardian's rather more artificial restructuring to benefit from the same tax rule/loophole [delete as appropriate per beneficiary]
