a deformation professionelle of the tax professional is that you get quite skilled at noticing the gaps

It’s pretty clear there was a lot of, at the very least, “ask me no questions, and I’ll tell you no lies” that became outright collusion at some times with indiividual agents - the degree to which it was tacitly or explicitly acknowledged at higher levels is still open

How much does he lift?

Japan In the fourteenth century, two lines of the Imperial clan, Northern Court and Southern Court, claimed the throne. 34. Their rivalry was resolved in 1392: while every emperor of the Southern Court enthroned prior to 1392 was established as legitimate, the throne was determined by Emperor Go-Komatsu of the Northern Court and his successors. Since 1911, the Japanese government has declared the southern claimants were actually the rightful emperors despite the fact that all subsequent emperors including the then-Emperor Meiji were descended from the Northern Court, reasoning the Southern Court retained possession of the Three Sacred Treasures, thus converting the emperors of the former Northern court into mere pretenders. In other words, six former emperors of the Northern Court have been counted as pretenders instead since then. As a result of this compromise, the present Japanese Imperial Family is descended from the Northern Court Emperors.

Plus also, as someone else alludes to in the comments, one of the underadmitted vectors of Thai food becoming popular in Britain was via flat roof pubs.

I remember checking out the bookshop in Changi airport about fifteen years ago and being slightly creeped out by the size of the space allocated to “my sex tourism memoirs” there
