It's incredible how fine some people are with being ripped off, as long as it's someone rich and on their 'side'.

Absolutely no shame nor principle.

Ensuring that those who make the rules don't do so in a corrupt way can only be done via stringent oversight, freedom of information and investigative journalism in an environment of press freedom. Having parts of the media controlled by those who also stand to profit from corrupt practices isn't healthy, but so long as it all isn't we should be OK.

Sounds about right, yes. Too much influence results in abuse of it.

Well, I'm self employed and I pay precisely what I should, but then you are likely right to be honest, and I am known to do my best then get treated like a mug .

But I mean technically, I would think what she did 'is' tax avoidance isnt it?

Not if she followed the rules and didn't break the law.
If the system is in place to do this then change it.
The problem is that farther down the line the changes WILL affect normal workers; which invariably will be met with condemnation even though the majority wanted it.
There are reasons this is allowed and I'm not learned enough to know why and how it works.

I'm certainly not saying that she's done anything illegal, rather that the behaviour of both her and her husband, especially in his position, is unethical.

The wider issue is that clicking our fingers and closing these types of loopholes isn't something that's easy for the man on the street to do, as they don't exist to benefit the man the street. Those in power use mechanisms of their own creation to shelter their wealth. We have no meaningful part or place in that conversation unfortunately (as we appear to have no power to stop any these abuses or those from corporations) and I very much doubt it will change.

Most of the population.

I already know you're happy about it given your enjoyment in defending absolutely everything this government does while they continue to do nothing for you.

He's entitled to it but the more I think about it, the more it stinks.

That’s his walking around money. Having an ATM in the Cayman Islands is a bit inconvenient.

Nope not at all.
What I do know is that a three day week f***ed up a lot more people. You are too young to know.

LOL. Lets be honest here, some foreign taking advantage of a tax loophole that both major parties have allowed to exist for a long, long time by way of pleasing doners ain't really the story.

The story is who leaked it and why?

And the answer lies in a photograph taken from a balcony in Downing street of some people enjoying lock-down drinks in the garden.


Revenge is a dish best eaten...you know the score.

There are local elections in May. The Tories are expected to get their arses kicked. And voices will be raised about Johnson's leadership (again). Sunak WAS seen as a potential challenger to the throne. Not anymore.

Johnson seems to have gotten his political mojo back. Say what you want about the loathesome arsehole, he knows the game.
