[Terpe]

It's her money she can spend it on what the hell she likes the same as no one tells you how to spend yours ... apart from your other half

According to all reports she was invited to stay there by the owners. FOC

Yes you're right. She was given the suite by the Tax avoiding Barclay Brothers free of charge.
Despite being able to charge £3660 a night for a suite it may be worth noting that The Ritz hotel has paid no corporation tax in the UK by legally claiming reliefs for 17 years.

That would also include anyone in the UK that uses an accountant, and those that work with cash, and many other folk who just submit incorrect information. It is human nature to pay less tax, everyone does it whenever they can, so please include ALL examples not just one.

It's their business and up to them if they dish out goodwill, evaluation rooms etc. I don't think the Telegraphs journos, printers and other employees will be too concerned that the Barclay Bros live in the Channel Islands and pay low tax.

Anyway hats off to the Telegraph journalists for exposing hypocritical leech Margaret Hodge MP.

Margaret Hodge's family company pays just 0.01pc tax on £2.1bn of business generated in the UK
