What a lowlife, toadying, tax dodging, multi-millionaire west Brit arsehole that man is! Here’s what the band’s website says “The British Ambassador to Ireland, Mr David Reddaway, announced today that Bono is being awarded an honorary knighthood…We understand that Bono is ‘very flattered’ to be honoured, particularly if the honour – like its French counterpart – opens doors for his long standing campaigning work against extreme poverty in Africa.”
Graham Norton, not always the first person I look to for an opinion, got it right when he said “He goes to hell and back to avoid paying tax. He has a special accountant. He works out Irish tax loopholes. And then he’s asking me to buy a well for an African village. “Tarmac the road outside your house, you tight-wad! Or pay for a school in Ireland.” The scounging sycophant shifted a big portion of his assets to the Netherlands to benefit from that country’s lower rate of tax folllowing in that fine Irish tradition of moralising tax evaders like Charles Haughey and then drones on about the world’s poor as if he has some connection with them.
How little self respect does a man have to have before behaving like this and why is his effigy not burned every year?
PS: And Bono almost got me killed last night. I was discussing the matter with a friend at at our customary high level of sophistication. He got so angry that he briefly lost control of the car because he was swearing that much and we nearly ended up in the river Lagan. Even the mention of his name can make bad things happen.
