She's not doing anything like that. She's going to have her hair done, get a manicure and pedicure and a good, long massage first before surrendering. All that shopping with that ill gotten money has taken its toll on her. 3 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thequietman Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 What is it with most criminals? If I decided to take it up as a career, I sure as hell would not flaunt my wealth in this manner. Under the radar, but living a good life. Set up a legitimate business later when older, and then do a bit of show ( but not much) It seems there is a national obsession with 'show' and look what I have, and then you come tumbling down. (Unless of course, you are a politician in the current party, or very well connected) ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for the taxes is to keep the domestic sales of locally built, bottom of the range cars up. BMW and (I think) MB assemble locally but they cannot source enough quality local parts and materials to qualify for the lower tax brackets so their cars are still 3-4 times the price that they sell for in the UK.
