This weekend Gary Barlow was accused of avoiding tax.
So of course the internet reacted hilariously.
Something from the weekend. Gary Barlow 'Since I Saw You Last'
From Lily Allen having a dig.
Can't get through to NHSDirect , no midwives in your area ? Well at least the Queen got a nice birthday party/jubilee , whatever @GaryBarlow
To "The Queen" having a say.
You owe one some tax, Gary Barlow. #PayUp
But mainly people were having a field day with his songs.
Whatever he said Whatever he did he defo meant it He avoided tax for good Avoided tax avoided tax avoided tax For good. Gary Barlow.
Headline for Gary Barlow tax story: It Only Takes An Audit, Gal.
It isn't Gary Barlow's fault. His accountant told him: "Do what you like"
Breaking News: Our investigation reveals Gary Barlow has written 9 million love songs but only declared a million for tax reasons.
While others couldn't stop with gags about being on the fiddle. LOLs.
GARY BARLOW!!!!!!! Great singer, excellent on the piano and VERY good on the Fiddle #barlowcanyougo
All this time I thought Gary Barlow did the singing in Take That. Turns out he was on the fiddle.
Either that, or confusing his OBE with an oboe. You guys.
Why is everyone saying that Gary Barlow should give up the oboe? Let the guy play! #musicisforsharing
Personally I think Gary Barlow SHOULD be made to return his oboe. But not before cleaning the mouthpiece.
I thought Gary Barlow only played piano. Taking his oboe away is a rubbish punishment.
After 10AM the Gary Barlow Oboe jokes will have officially jumped the shark. Get them in now, people.
Others saw it as a great opportunity to revive the #askgarybarlow hashtag.
"@SkyNews: TIMES FRONT PAGE: "Take that, Barlow" #skypapers " ←time to revive #askgarybarlow methinks.
Can I have your OBE ? I've never stolen millions from the public ?? #askGaryBarlow
#AskGaryBarlow is Fiddler on the roof your favourite musical ? @GaryBarlow
Why are you such a knobber ? #askGaryBarlow
Some were just plain weird.
"Gary Barlow OBE" is an anagram of "A Wooly Grabber".
Is Gary Barlow halal? Asking for a friend.
In fairness to Gary Barlow, medical bills for operations to continually reduce the size of his fat head must be very expensive.
I went to a restaurant once and Gary Barlow was sat on the next table. My girlfriend gazed at him all night. I say strip him of the OBE.
While others had plenty more to say on the matter.
It's no wonder that Gary Barlow is a national treasure...he's been keeping hold if the countries ££s.
When Gary Barlow gets caught avoiding tax everyone's like "aw but he's a nice guy" Jimmy Carr did it & it was "GET THE BASTARD!" Fuck sake
gary barlow to keep his OBE in fact cameron will give him 2 more for getting away with tax evasion for so long
Some simply didn't care, because it's Gary Barlow after all.
I honestly can say that Gary Barlow could batter a fish with a hammer and I'd still think he was perfect :-)
@5WrightStuff just strip Gary Barlow but he can keep his OBE!! Wink wink
But most were pretty cynical.
Gary Barlow seems a decent fella but isn't it fortuitous that he's getting all this publicity just before a new album? #guerillamarketing
So Gary Barlow does know how to handle cheques
Some were having a great time fooling around with pictures.
Give it up, for Gary Barlow OBE ...
Gary Barlow added to cast as tax free plumber. #garybarlow
@BuzzFeedUK You missed one
Here's a lovely portrait of Gary Barlow that I did a while ago, for all you fans out there x
While others made very, very good points.
If we really want to punish gary barlow we should make him enter eurovision every year until he wins.
BREAKING NEWS: After handing back his OBE, Gary Barlow to be now known as Gar Arlw.
Oh, Gary...
