Obviously direct bullion were targeting the most savvy of investors when they chose Nigel as their brand ambassador.

Wonder how much time he’s spent giving constituency surgeries?

Sooo selling Britannias… minted and sold at a premium by the royal mint.

Gold is VAT free and Gold coins (if legal tender) are VAT and capital gains free.
Anyone can buy gold for as little as 100 pounds, putting TAX FREE in the headline is completely unnecessary and just trying to stir up a non existent story.

It’s only what ALLLLLLL other politicians are doing with their second, third, forth and even fifth jobs!

MP makes money from second job. The horror of it all.

His finances are his business. Why is this a topic worth of an article?

Non-story.
Keir Starmer is worth twice as much as Nigel, and are we forgetting all the donations he took?… Again, total non-story.

He hasn’t just “made” £190k, he’s absolutely “trousered” it.

corrupt, hate spewing, grifter. I don’t think any part of this man ever gave 2 shits about europe or britain at any point in his life.
The worst thing to happen to the UK was the day he survived that plane crash.

Let me just preface this by saying I dislike Farage. In fact, I can’t stand him. If he were a flavor of crisps, he’d be “damp sock.”
That said, MPs earning money from other sources? Absolutely not. They should focus on the job we’re already paying them for. And yes, that goes for all MPs, not just old Nige and his side hustle shenanigans.

Still drawing his eu pension too. Shame about the winter fuel allowance though.

Will do anything for a bit of cash. Big chungus cameos tell the whole story.

Well done voters of Clacton. I’m sure Nigel the man for the people. Will be giving you all a share down the local boozer. And remember watch out for those illegals steeling your money.

He has more business acumen than all of the Labour MPs put together. It’s not a sin to make money.

He isn’t ‘the establishment’ though! How these muthafucking, grifters convince people they are on their side is beyond me.

Interestingly if you look at Direct Bullion, they’re… very Russia friendly. Very Russia friendly. I would not be at all surprised if this was how Putin is funneling funds to his agents.

Is it gold he’s previously owned? Owning, buying and selling gold (minted) is tax free for everyone

He has to make up the coutts bank account minimum balance somehow

The guy is just a package full of hypocrisy and dodginess.

The amount of people showing how far they can deep-throat a boot in this thread is insane. MPs shouldn’t have second jobs, especially MPs that don’t even do the fucking job they were elected to do.

He did pretty well out of speaker engagements for a company that helps rich people get passports from other countries too
For a man whose whole personality was based around stopping people from other countries getting into Britain, making money from helping people do exactly that seems a little almost like that he’s a total hypocrite and just in politics for the grift

The ‘tax free’ part is a wind-up. Gold, like currency, is not taxed when traded. That has nothing to do with him or his fee which he would have had to pay tax on. Mirror is a tabloid so that’s to be expected.

I generally don’t like to mock anyone because of their looks… but this guy looks like a frog with a permanently dislocated jaw.

Nigel continues to fight for the UK. Elon meanwhile has correctly labelled Starmer for what he really is.

The amount of people who like Farage and Musk because they’re “not the establishment”
One is a private-educated City’s commodities broker that is in Parliament, the other is a billionaire 😑

How is gold tax free?
I saw some guy in some crypto sub claiming gold wasn’t covered under capital gains tax, which i’m fairly sure is bollocks

So would it be fine if he was taxed on the gold? Silly headline as much as one may dislike Farage.
DenieF459 on
I dont see an issue with this? Many people use gold as an investment. People in this sub just have an issue with Nigel, and I get why people dislike him but there is no reason to be disgruntled by this.

Why do we keep up the pretence that he’s some man of the people, fighting the establishment and so on, when he’s just a glorified salesman backed by a gang of white supremacists and oligarchs, often from Russia?
