He got stuck in the moment.

No more million dollar hotels for her….

beautiful day

she should have ran and not stood still

I guess where she’s going…..nnnWait for it…..nnnnWait for it…..nnnThe streets have no name! nnBadda-boom

Discotheque.

Maybe if he remembered where he came from, his roots, and looked after his own money and checked every now and then she wouldn’t have been allowed steal so much. She deserves jail, and he deserved to be robbed.

SeamusnThey’re called begrudgers, Ireland is awash with them. She stole, proved guilty, if it were someone less well off there would be sympathy all round. Theft is theft!

If you were away on tour for months on end, someone might.

I don’t do any touring anymore.

Are you aware that when first asked by Bob G to take part in Live Aid, they said no. When they were asked to take part in Feed the World, they said no. Bono refused to accompany Geldof to Ethiopia to see the crisis first hand. They didnt change their mind because they educated themselves about the humanitarian crisis that was unfolding in Ethiopia, they canged it based solely on the fact that Paul McCartney and Queen had signed up. It was a u-turn borne out of self publicity and not from any sense of charity. At 3am on the morning of the Live Aid gig, the U2 manager rang Bob Geldoff to tell him that U2 were pulling out because Bono wasnt happy with the sound check!!! Of course when they realised that the sound quality wasnt an issue for either Queen or Paul McCartney they changed their mind and decided to go ahead. It has always been about keeping U2 and Boneo in the public eye than it has ever been about a real sense of human injustice. It took Bono a while to realise that third world poverty was an issue and when he did he jumped on the bandwagon and has been driving it ever since. And that is one of the many reasons why I detest U2.

Because they’re a profoundly dislikeable rabble, maybe?

Holy sh*t Ann, that’s a hell of a lot of inside information. How do you know all that?

Ann,

Bono didn’t accompany Geldof to Ethiopa.He went at a later date with his wife.

You say U2 have have used Africa to sustain their career and profile.Really? I was under the distinct impression that the general reaction to Bono’s campaigning ranged from sheer boredom to utter contempt.The former is certainly the reaction i’ve seen at their gigs.

Ann, that’s a fair amount of bullsh1t you are spewing, sources?

Anne please thats not showing U2 in a true light. What about Sarajevo when no one including every european citizen that left these fellow europeans to die U2 brought it live on their stage. U2 are not a one story band.

It is legal for him to avoid tax, I have no issue with that, but a legal system is expensive to operate.
it is being used to support the vengeance of a man who does not contribute to running it and whose own negligence made the crime possible in the first place.

He has no right or cause to be smiling smugly today.

She stole from his personal account(s). Big difference.

Last time I checked Tax avoidance is legal. Bitter much?

Stealing from the rich or poor is still stealing…and oh i expect her to pay back every penny…she broke a trust thinking he is a fool….

You say avoidance, I say evasion!

The accepted term is avoision. Makes you sound like a mobster from Queens too when you say it

What utter nonsense. Tax avoidance is legal. End of discussion.

Its immoral.

Yes sir!! with your end of discussion – cousin of Merkels are you????? I suppose if we were to find out that Bertie or Edna enjoyed a bit of tax avoidance you’d be all right with that.

In fairness if he’s entitled to pay tax into another system that’s to his advantage, fair play to him. Wouldn’t we all do the same?? Blame the system, not the man who’s legally entitled to benefit from it’s flaws

typical to focus on him really rather than the convicted thief

Kieron, I completely agree with you, if the loopholes are there, people will use them. Dont blame the people, blame the system. However it is this type of activity that lends itself to be a vehicle that allows the rich to get richer while the poor get poorer. Given that Boneo believes himself to be the arch angel of third world debt, dont you think his taking part in tax avoidance schemes smacks of hypocricy. Maybe they should take heed of Jimmy Carrs humility when he was outed as being a tax avoider last week.

More nonsense from Ann. Tax avoidance (as opposed to its close cousin) is perfectly legal.

Ahhh would ye please shut the rukk fup!

@mjfox that is. Begrudgery is filth and the scourge of our nation.

She’s guilty as sin and shame on her but how did he not notice before she racked up that much over a long period . Must read the whole case .

But she’s not innocent, she’s was found guilty by a jury of her peers on over 180 counts of stealing from the man………!!! All 181 counts, there was no ambiguity, not 150/31 counts….all 181 counts…….no doubt even in the minds of those jurors who didn’t shake his hand afterwards !!!

What utter nonsense.

What’s he suppose to do ? Nothing ?

He does pay tax in Ireland but U2 holdings inc pay their tax in holland as its where the company hq is, I’m sick of the bullshit people spew at U2 if YOU had their income u would not want to pay the massive amount of tax do you would move the money to a different country and don’t say you would not because I would and everyone I know would

So following your logic, if an Australian tourist is struck by an intoxicated driver in Dublin, the tourist should seek redress in Australia, where he pays his taxes?

Are you for real, so he should just ignore the theft of 2m plus. Don’t care who he is/how much or how little he has…theft is theft end of!

@seamus what you just said made no relevance to the type of case this was so please think before you type
