Don't forget the legion of British artists, writers, actors, producers etc who have relocated to Irealnd to avoid paying tax here. Not all big stars either and that includes a lot of people who definitely would not fail on the HH cool-o-meter test.

Of course Ian, but if you are a multi millionaire trying to raise awareness/funds whilst hanging out with oligarchs and world leaders, you should lead by example and be an exception. He can afford it, and I would be the first to applaud him for it. Double standards, I'm afraid.

I've been wondering a bit about that "cool-o-meter" you've been referring to.
Is it something that really exists or is it just a convenient invention.
I mean, like "the leftist hive mind"; a way of making an argument without actually having one?
