UK Uncut Payday - Santa Arrested in Brighton

[jontycampbell]

Vodaphone...hmmm...I'm with them for my cellphone, I could change to another network but are they all pretty much of a muchness? They have great coverage but telephone customer services make you pray for death. I'm thinking of Giff-Gaff.

Did Voda AVOID tax or EVADE tax? there's an important distinction. The first is probably inevitable in any taxation scheme, the second, illegal.

That so not the real Santa…..

[MetisRebelUnCut]

Busting Santa? Do they beat up elves at donut shops for sport? Jeebus wept.

[adamsapimp]

You ruined Christmas!!

[FirebirdKnight]

they'll come out when you're protesting but where are they when a chinese takeaway owner is being hounded in his own business by a gang of neds. Your taxes at work and they wonder why there's such contempt for the police.

[hitman4kicks]

that twat on the roof needs shooting

[LoveAddictREmix]

Well, your Europeans really sold yourself out to your own governments didn't you? Like a whore, you went to the highest bidder, the one who promised you peace... I know you didn't mean it... But if you want to blame someone you need only look in the mirror.

[LeftWingJohn]

Are they police or naughty elves ?

[sebsobast]

Love the way towards the end of the video you can hear an upset woman saying "they're arresting santa!"

[routeoz02]

"We are all in this together" said Cameron. Ooooooh no we are not. Those with their hands in the tills and snouts in the trough will use every dodge in the book [and out of it] to avoid paying their due. Even when they have milliions or billions, they still want more.

[MrChristophe156]

Wow I can allready the media headlines . Santa's a disturber of the peace and a potential terrorist :/. That's why they needed an army of police men to arrest him. They're probably examining the super glue for explosive compounds as we speak.

[Jascender]

you bunch of fools, bored are you? without the rich or wealthy there is no economy, there are no jobs.  you expect these people to pay 50% tax on top of the risks and re-investments they take? you expect them to work for 6 months of the year paying tax? (thats what it would feel like)

maybe you should put more pressure on the government to LOWER the top rate of tax then maybe the highest earners wouldnt avoid it.

[2ndSTARMAN]

@Jascender It’s a shame that the rich (3%) who hog 87% of the worlds resource is saying there is too many people, guess what, like me you’re also on that list. No matter how rich you think you are the upper middle class will be the first to go. Because of people like Philip Green and other globalists; this so called western democracy is now sliding straight towards despotism. The dollar is dead and the EU is collapsing. If you don’t see this then you’re a prime example of normalcy bias.

[The1stPoster]

This is Brighton we're talking about. People genuinely believed it was Santa.

[carolineholding]

any small children witnessing that must have been completely traumatized -free santa!

[fistofonan]

Love you, Santa! 

[ElizabethR1558]

Do the police understand the word "irony"? Probably not.

[TylerAgainstCuts]

The grinch that stole christmas LOL jk it was the police ;/

[jigsaw1956]

I don't do christmas. However, shame on these government hired thugs, arresting Santa at this time of year when he is so busy !! I do hope that not too many children saw Santa being arrested. When are they going to start arresting the real criminals, the ones in suits, not Santa suits ??

Well done to all who took part.

[gorkys6]

OK. If Santa was breaking and entering down somebody's chimney then arrest him. But 10 x police officers at £35 per hour (conservative estimate, not including overheads), and ALL done to enable a shop owner to continue to avoid paying his taxes, whilst bringing the country to its knees???? Where's your priorities here Mr. Plod?

[EspionageEvents]

What a great publicity stunt! Great costume too, they all look like real policemen.

[sitjar]

@EspionageEvents Don't be silly. They were common thugs hired to protect BHS from bad publicity and were only dressed to look like police.

Real Police would never be so partisan....would they?

[smartverity]

Because it really takes that many police to arrest one man!

[rabiesdog]

@smartverity It takes that many police because the crowd would probablt try and fight back
