One less than impressed viewer of ITV’s The Agenda has mocked the TV presenter with the page after she fought with Ed Miliband about the proposed tax.

@contradevian Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 She is apparently renting her £3M mansion (so I've been reprimanded on Twitter) so I'm not sure why she is complaining. The owner of the mansion I assume would be taxed, and of course rents are set by the market (in theory). However the rentier shills on Twitter masquerading as 'libertarians' have been having a field day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Bunny Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 As she's renting I love here even more than I did. She's a capitalist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Banner Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 She is apparently renting her £3M mansion (so I've been reprimanded on Twitter) so I'm not sure why she is complaining. The owner of the mansion I assume would be taxed, and of course rents are set by the market (in theory). However the rentier shills on Twitter masquerading as 'libertarians' have been having a field day. She seemed to get the better of Miliband, in the clip I saw on sky news, and for that I thank her, whoever she is. With regard to her complaining when she is renting, It's refreshing to see someone sticking up for what they think is right rather than what benefits them personally.

Northerner Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yes, lets just get all those full-time supermarket workers on minimum wage to pay a bit more, perhaps up their tax to 30% so that Myleene doesn't have to pay 0.5% tax on all that unearned wealth of hers. Inherited wealth, lottery winner, drug-dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R K Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 If Miliband cant make a cogent case for property taxes for the super wealthy versus a celeb then theres something very wrong (with him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juvenal Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Apparently, she rents. She has sold a seven figure home owned in her sole name. Curious business, where allegedly she seemed willing to sacrifice a lot of dough to avoid having her income discussed in court.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2158935/Myleene-Klass-puts-marital-home-sale-2-5million-Graham-Quinn-walks-out.html http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/myleene-klass-offer-graham-quinn-2034199 Edited November 18, 2014 by juvenal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quicken Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 There is a little bit of HPC in this story: While the five-bedroom country house was valued at £2.5million, it’s thought she took at £700,000 hit when it came to selling it. At the time of selling her house in Cuffley, Herts a source close to the estranged couple said: “They’d hoped to get a bigger nest egg to move on with their lives but in the current economic climate that’s all the sale would reach. They’d been struggling to sell it for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byron78 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) I thought she came across as a bit out of touch myself. The vast majority of Londeners I speak to (who all rent) are pro mansion tax. Not that the media would have you believe that of course.

GloomMonger Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Why are grannies in £2 million pound homes seen as being victims? In Zone 1 or 2, it could be a 2 bed mid terrace built for a factory worker. Granny might like living near her family and has no interest in the value of her home. Should she be forced to sell due to HPI? Granny isn't the problem and this tax will raise a pittance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frederico Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The problem is the price not the tax, err move somewhere cheaper and pocket a million. What a problem to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jemmy Button Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 To me, Klass comes across as a silly little rich girl who thinks the whole world is in love with her. That she speaks up for people living in 'hardship' in two million pound houses shows how out of touch this silly London centric bimbo is. Last nights TV encounter was a spectacular own girl by Klass. If she mauled Milliband, that's nothing to the mauling she's getting on social media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid Goldfish Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) She appears to me to be obnoxious and entitled (and over rehearsed).

b w Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 To me, Klass comes across as a silly little rich girl who thinks the whole world is in love with her. I listen to smooth radio, fairly calming music, then she disturbs that calm with her inane mutterings about what her children did at school etc, like anyone of sound mind could care less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renting til I die Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 She appears to me to be obnoxious and entitled (and over rehearsed). EdM dealt with her reasonably, patiently and with respect. He looked a little bit taken a back to me. Maybe he should have pointed out that that water has been taxed, indirectly through water rates? If Miliband cant make a cogent case for property taxes for the super wealthy versus a celeb then theres something very wrong (with him). Yes, although I agree that property (well land, support a LVT!) needs to be taxed more, the mansion tax is a poor idea which will be hard to sell. It was pointed at the end of the discussion that council tax hasn't been re-banded for countless years and although Ed jumped on this saying 'ah, so you do support a mansion' etc, etc... he seemed to miss the point. This should be how they raise greater tax from property in the short term. Much easily to sell that idea than set up a new mansion tax.

Maybe in the sense of how do you deal with someone ranting hysterically and spouting incoherent gibberish - without insulting them or patronising them.

Guest_northshore_* Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 If Miliband cant make a cogent case for property taxes for the super wealthy versus a celeb then theres something very wrong (with him). Yep. Looking like we'll have a general election built on the core issues of a mansion tax, immigration and of course the all-encompassing deficit. May as well just give Farage the keys now.
