Nothing new.

Legal and moral are not the same thing. When slebs appear on RandomShiteTelethon saying Give them your fucking money, it comes across as a tad hypocritical if they are offshoring to avoid tax.

Apparently she's been pouring tens of thousands of pounds into BrightHouse for years.

The good news is that another 24 months at £36 a month and she'll have that 42" telly.
