Let's see how Panorama try to spin it

I think the only answer is a global tax system...

[Wales-Bales]

I think the only answer is a global tax system...

I'm guessing blame Trump and some ex-Tories no longer involved in politics

Great idea.
A global currency and a global central bank while we are at it.

[Mrs Steve R]

Good luck with that.

[Rjk]

Good luck with that.

It'll happen

The plebs caught on long since it's a grab what you can, everyone for themselves beano from the top of the top to those right at the bottom.

Evidence for this is the 12 million Britons entitled to claim Winter Fuel Allowance... just 400 decline the payment; that's 1 in every 6,400.

The Tories made a critical error at the last GE when they suggested means-testing that freebie.

The problem is that any cut to pensioners freebies is going to cost any party. Some freebies that the oaps get could be reduced dramatically but it would be political suicide.

Sadly, old people have more power in our democratic system than the young, who have to suffer those policies for years.

This isn't really the same thing.

[Eric Cartman]

I know it will, all these tax haven stories will make the brainwashed idiots think it's a good idea, enjoy being played, I'm past caring.

What is the end game and why? Who wants a global tax system and why?

[Mrs Steve R]

What is the end game and why? Who wants a global tax system and why?

The UN.

What I mean is, who are the evil puppet masters and how would a global taxation system make ordinary people's lives worse and theirs better?

The endgame is the mark of the beast: an implanted chip that contains all personal info, security clearance level, access to one's digital savings and tracking device all in one.

Seems a long way off to me.

I guess wanting some kind of transparency makes me a brainwashed idiot.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

if it was me i'd do the same so would most people

I wouldn't nor would most of the people I know

[Wales-Bales]

I wouldn't nor would most of the people I know

Nor me, I would prefer to live in a society that strives towards an advanced stage of social development and organization, not one that is going backwards.

In regards to the super rich haven’t they got enough without recourse to these fecking schemes ???

TBH, I dont know what the 'answer' is regards all this, nor where it is all leading, but that's the bit that makes me laugh/cry -
Some of these folks have hundreds upon hundreds of millions and they are desperate to pay no tax whatsoever.

Unfortunately we endorse it. I know Lewis Hamilton is a frequent target in these kind of discussions but the fact that some sociopathic dogbrain tax-exile can be voted (by taxpayers presumably) SPOTY, whilst not important, just sums up how asleep we are as a nation.
