“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties”

James Watt is a cunt. Always has been, always will be. He’s mates with Farage and all that mob too, so fuck him off and don’t drink his shite beer.
James Watt Brewdog's CEO is worth £262,000,000 he is refusing to raise the wage of his staff in London by the £1 an hour to keep them at the National Living Wage.
Brewdog is apparently a 'nice' company, but wage freezes don't seem very nice.
Do they?
