The internet had lots of sympathy for the tax dodging Mrs Brown’s Boys actors
You’d think the Queen being a tax dodger would be bigger news, but it seems that the revelation that three of Mrs Brown’s Boys cast actors were paid offshore to avoid tax was what really got people riled.
For some it was an opportunity to express their love for the show.
Mrs. Brown’s Boys stars engaging in an offshore tax dodge is no laughing matter. Appropriately enough.

Anyone involved in that show should get a minimum 5 year jail sentence anyway

Can't believe I have more reason to hate Mrs Browns Boys. #paradisepapers

I'm guilty of Mrs Browns Boys evasion.

Others were just baffled by the whole thing.
The real scandal is that 3 actors have earned enough money from being in Mrs Browns Boys to warrant an offshore fund… #ParadisePapers

Minor actors from #MrsBrownsBoys made how much??! This is how I felt on Thru The Keyhole when someone like Bruno Brookes lived in a mansion!

The queen and a load of tories have been avoiding tax but the news is picking on Bono and Mrs Browns Boys, who aren’t even fucking British.

And let’s not forget about the colourful tax habits of Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.
