This Panama papers thingy
It appears the stinking rich, including David Cameron's father have been stashing their unheard earned funds into a foreign bank account whilst preaching austerity on the rest of us little people.
I can see why the bean counter from Penarth ****ed off sharpish.

Re: This Panama papers thingy
It is still early days yet, there are millions of documents to wade through, so I'd imagine it'll take some time before the really juicy stuff gets unearthed.
There is a suspicious lack of anyone from the USA involved so far.

But don't worry because Gideon once again assured us that we are all in this together only a few weeks ago.

Re: This Panama papers thingy
Yes, just that some us are "all in this together" a lot more than others.

Do you think that newspapers and news channels should only report on things that are illegal?

Not at all, just funny how people moan about this, but then nearly 70% of people vote for parties that will continue to keep it going here. It's a very easy thing to stop if you want to do it

Maybe because:
The files show how Mossack Fonseca clients were able to launder money, dodge sanctions and avoid tax.
In one case, the company offered an American millionaire fake ownership records to hide money from the authorities. This is in direct breach of international regulations designed to stop money laundering and tax evasion.
There are links to 12 current or former heads of state in the data, including dictators accused of looting their own countries.
More than 60 relatives and associates of heads of state and other politicians are also implicated.
The files also reveal a suspected billion-dollar money laundering ring involving close associates of Russia's President, Vladimir Putin.
Also mentioned are the brother-in-law of China's President Xi Jinping; Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko; Argentina President Mauricio Macri; the late father of UK Prime Minister David Cameron and three of the four children of Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
The documents show that Iceland's Prime Minister, Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson, had an undeclared interest linked to his wife's wealth. He is now facing calls for his resignation.
Part of the documents suggest that a key member of Fifa's ethics committee, Uruguayan lawyer Juan Pedro Damiani, and his firm provided legal assistance for at least seven offshore companies linked to a former Fifa vice-president arrested last May as part of the US inquiry into football corruption.

Considering the government know where and how it's happening as the Pms dad is doing it, very easy to make an amendment against it. But why bother when nobody really cares?

You said I could do it, how do I 'make an amendment' against it?

Re: This Panama papers thingy
Apparently one of Putin's people was on TV a month ago announcing a story (regarding his piece) like may come to light.
We could very easily end up in a (western) world run by Boris, Trump/Cruz and Putin where the wealthiest individuals are given freedoms beyond what they have now where they force the rest to scrap to get to the top or simply survive while they watch from above on an unreachable platform.

I can't believe you'll write something like this and then call someone else's intelligence into question.

It was about 3 days ago, not so now.
Our PM whose party got elected partly on a manifesto pledge of stopping people avoid and evade tax is going to inherit money that was moved around the globe in order to avoid paying tax in the UK. Somehow he will wriggle out of this because he always does but it is just more mud to sling when his day finally comes. I get the feeling Cameron is going to end up a laughing stock when the people who put him there cut the strings and let their puppet drop to the floor.

Re: This Panama papers thingy
not sure i see the issue here. tax is just a way of punishing success. there should be ways around it for succesful people and this panama thing looks ideal and legal.

Except our best paying jobs (be they managerial positions or simply artists of some kind who can afford to spend time with no money and the best training) are dominated by those who followed the Eton etc. to Oxbridge pathway, which would suggest it's not all about hard work and success. A pathway, it's been pointed out, our prime minister afforded partly because his dad decided paying for the NHS etc. was a job for someone else.

Well everyone is innocent
"""" claims Mr Livingstone was paid via a company, Silveta Ltd, so he was only liable for corporation tax at 20%, rather than paying full income tax.
The issue has been raised several times at Prime Minister's Questions by Conservative MPs keen to support Mr Johnson's re-election bid on 3 May.
'Exact same position'
Mr Livingstone said his arrangement was not a "tax avoidance thing" and to suggest otherwise was a "smear", adding: "I pay my income tax on everything I get."

Agree, I'd like to see all footballers paid by issuing them with non repayable loans channelled through iffy offshore employment benefit trusts that deliberately set out to circumvent PAYE....What could possibly go wrong?
