Becker that is, NOT the Prime Minister

2 & 1/2 years for his 'bankruptcy' & hiding assets, non-declaration etc . . . [Link]

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

In his defence eagleman, he was only taking a lead from the other bungle- he should have been suspended from the court. the tennis court, not ma-lud, and told to apologise- job done!

Personally don't see how a custodial sentence is worthwhile.

Boris, your loyal footman has arrived, shall we get him to load the cases marked stolen PPE cash from NHS? No, he will do it bungle, trust me- its the member for Medway!Yes, that one, the one who backs us even when we are testing how far anyone can go before having a meltdown!

A ridiculous sentence, the taxpayer picks up the tab and frankly who cares anyway.

He still manages money better than Sunak does.

Careful Steeleye, you"re not allowed to criticise the government on here, they"ve only been in 12 years-give them time to get things half right!

I know 'living beyond your means' in common, but it's crazy how people can get it so wrong. I don't suppose the divorces helped either!

There are people walking around who have committed 40 crimes against people or more. Yet Becker gets jailed for ripping off a couple of rich institutions for a few thousand. As you say, the whole thing paid for by the public. Cantona should have got two years for violent assault. Becker should get community service.

Sunak's wife would make an excellent Chancellor, the UK would be quids-in

Silly Silly Boris. He should've employed a proper accountant to hide monies in offshore companies, instead of squandering on child maintenance following brief encounters in restaurant cupboards.

Crazy how powerful these corporations become and consequently has easy it becomes for them to wriggle out of any responsibility. They are in effect more powerful than many countries, and so are often the ones calling the shots.

Boris Becker now ensconced in Wandsworth prison, 3 miles from the centre court at Wimbledon where his displays electrified tennis.

How are the mighty fallen, or in his case plain foolish.

Why be in the UK at all, if you are facing 2 years in clink.

Hiding your stuff and everything can't you get someone else to do it?

It is ridiculous if he carried a knife with intent he would probably be let off with a warning.

Soft on crime, but offend financially and the tories will re-open the debtors prison.

Sorry to disagree Steeleye. My big complaint for decades has been the high and the mighty getting away with it. Here are some examples:

Ken Dodd and Harry Redknap Clear case of tax evasion.

Earnest Saunders (Guinness) the only known case of someone recovering from Alzheimer's after being released from jail on compassionate grounds. Quite why the judge could not have made it dependent on his illness so if he recovered back you go.

Steven Gerrard - Assault after he and six of his mates felt threatened by one DJ.

Any number of long complicated expensive fraud trials involving company senior management. Do they ever get done?

Any number of footballers from anything from speeding (Mr Loophole) to rape and other serious charges.

Katie Price how many more time will she get left off (is she noshing the judge?)

It's quite refreshing to see a celeb go to jail for a clear breach of the law. Time to lock up the corrupt senior corporate management.

It's courts that impose sentences, not governments.

Ummm. Didn't boris try to hide his money. If this mp did the same then in the slammer thou dost go. If it's just bad business then why not give them time to pay. That would be to all our benefit surely.

That would be to all our benefit surely. It must be so tough being a perfect person. I'm surprised you haven't kissed the reflection off of your mirror.

The article I saw didn't explain how a well paid MP got himself into such debt which is a pity. However Cryst is correct if you are owed money by this MP it would be better to see if he can pay it off than for him to be declared bankrupt and you see nothing.

On the subject of bankruptcy some people on low incomes deliberately run up debt and then declare bankruptcy. As they live in rented accommodation and have no assets it has no impact on their lives.

Three people who are friends did this and what was their debt? Food bills? Housing costs? Utility bills?

No, luxury goods on tick, IPhone's, TV's, Game consoles etc one of the three has been made bankrupt 3 time and yet nobody seems to question the type of debt they incurred. And why luxury goods? Well they would buy a phone on tick sell it for cash and then knock the phone company.

For balance I worked for a good lady who lost her business when the franchise collapsed even through her store was making money. She lost her home and all her money it had a massive impact on her life. To dig herself out of a hole she applied for her old job at the bank our boss had to get the board to sign off on her because she was a bankrupt if it wasn't for his persistence it wouldn't have happened.
