Everything. As It Happens.
Dealer plates. New business venture, Bono?
Short-term lease probably. Bono doesn’t strike me as a petrol head.
here drive this around bono sound, throws ye few quid – ah grand saves me few spenders
Engwish pwease?
Well if I was that loaded I’d tell my driver to pick the car he/she wanted.
Tesla is electric
Thanks for blocking the cycle lane there Bono
yeah, where is Mr. GoproonmyHelmethead when you need him,
He cycles on when it’s a man in the car anyway..
Feckin tax dodger.
He pays all his income tax.
I think you are referring to U2 and their illustration of Michael O’Learys point from yesterday.
how flipping original
Feckin Jammy Dodger.
Sorry, that should’ve been feckin Sir Tax Dodger.
What taxes specifically has Bono ‘dodged’?
The ones that weren’t collected.. those ones?
Which ones that weren’t collected? He pays his income tax here.
His business, which earns it’s money globally, is based in Holland and pays it’s taxes in Holland.
I don;t love how U2’s company is based in the Netherlands for tax purposes but we can hardly complain given that we encourage corporate entities to locate here, with tax being part of the inducement.
I undertsood that he paid his income tax in Ireland.
Read Harry Browne’s book on Bono. It deals with it extensively.
Completely illegal. Garage plates can not be used as a registration number, only as a method of motor tax cover, despite what is commonly believed. Any unregistered vehicle is simply not permitted to drive on the road and must be moved by transporter. This is a regularly flaunted law. That and the fact that the garage plates are not green (legally obliged to be as issued by the DOE) just finishes off the infringement. Easy pickings for any cop really.
Like the one grinning away in the background in the second photo? Sure he’s just happy to rub shoulders with the new royalty, the law doesn’t apply to millionaire tax exiles.
+1
And if he doesn’t get a ticket for that.. he should for those hair plugs.
ah now…
Does Broadsheet want to encourage the presence of the pap outside peoples funerals?
How do we know it’s his by the way?
Looks like he was being driven there.
What church, on what street, in what village?
Oh, right :) Thanks.
I think its on Howth.
That’s gonna hurt Model S sales.
Did ye not notice he’s getting out the passenger side…maybe it’s his best friend’s ride.
scrub
Haha
POX!
John Garvin Evans. The deceased name. But then I suppose in your giddy excitement for some Bono related click baiting, you never bothered etc…..

Sorry, The People’s Hero, fixed now.
Tut tut, illegal dealer plates. Should be white on green. Maybe the car dealership drove him there. But that would also be illegal.
Nice car though.
i know a judge who drives around in a car with yellow plates. laws and taxes Are for little people.
Revenue must have him on the “Do not disturb” list.
There is such a list.
how does one get on this list out of curiosity?
Time machine to the Norman invasion would up the odds a bit
Lads, lads. A funeral. Not the time for shouting and giving out.
Ok I take it back.. his hair plugs are amazeballs. How do they do it..
Invasive BS.
RIP Edge’s Dad.
Agreed.
Not even the decency to get the man’s name right…
It’s this sorta stuff that shows yis up for the chancers that yis are…..
yup.scummy.
It’s a private funeral, Broadsheet.
Get your clickbait Bono pics elsewhere.
Seriously. It’s a funeral.
They didn’t put up a picture of the man resting in his coffin.. Relax.
