Cameron in the kacky?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-35992167

Having said he and his family have not profited from Daddy's business, it now emerges that he made £30 grand selling shares.

And who paid for his Eton and Oxford education?

On a par with Clinton's "I did not have sex with that woman"?

So was the shares from the money made was not dodgy.What a lying ****.

Jimmy Carr must be writing a hatful of jokes on this as we speak.

This is 12 months too late. This news could have made a big impact on the 2015 General Election if it had broken in April last year.

Aye.

Then again sadly perhaps not.
Plenty of the few that bothered to vote at all, but slithered out to vote for this lot would dearly love to be in a position of empathy toward Oily Dave, his oily antics and apparently his kin's oily antics.

At least we are still all in it together.

In which case yiu should be grateful. 5 years of Corbyn's Trotsky fiddlings would have buried Britain. Labour will never return to poeer with that jerk at the helm.

You've been dosing too much on the Daily Mail.I would much prefer a left wing party in power than a right wing party that screws over the NHS and our state education.Doubtless you will be the first to moan when the doctors and teachers go out on strike simultaneously.

Well, this thread has nothing to do with Corbyn - whatsoever - eh?!
If Labour had somehow prevailed Miliband would have been the PM now, not Corbyn.

Indeed Vimana. It's something that he seems to have totally overlooked.

I don't think this panama papers stuff will change anything. It'll be big in the news for a week or two, then blow over. Just like the expenses scandal a few years ago. People, frankly, dont care.

I think Corbyn appeals to more of the electorate than Murdoch's pressmen would like to think.

Quite possibly so Tommy.
He's edging towards being a 'toxic brand' though.
Politics shouldnt be about that, but Cambo must be near the point where they yank him off the stage with a crook.

Enter the Boris ...
Heaven help us.

People do care. Whilst I agree that nothing will be done, people will remember how the rich and powerful are being exposed for what they are.

And most importantly, this latest incident will remind the people exactly what the Tory party is all about; politicians spouting platitudes whilst filling their own pockets and doing favours for their rich Eton chums off the back of the hard working and long suffering public.

While none of these greasy, greedy, two-faced crooks will be seeing the inside of a courtroom, the people will have all these incidents in the back of their minds come voting time.

"People are stupid!" bellowed Hitler at the ministers assembled in his office. "Now, where are my plans to invade Russia? It'll be a breeze! Last one to Moscow is a dopey Napoleon!"

Someone mentioned the expenses scandal, but an important difference in this one is that, as far as I'm aware, only one of the parties capable of forming a Government in this country has been implicated so far. I have my doubts whether things will stay that way, but, for now, it's been far more of a crisis for the what's in it for me party than for anyone else.

As for Cameron, Tom Watson is completely right here when he talks of the Prime Minister's obfuscation

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-35990100

If he didn't think there was anything that would reflect him in a bad light in what happened, wouldn't Cameron have answered the questions he's been asked all week straight away, rather than having to have the truth dragged out of him over a period of four days - they're hardly the actions of someone who claims ""I don't have anything to hide.".

The Daily Mail has been ripping into Cameron and his government for weeks, especially in the last few days. If you got your media information from a broader spectrum you would also learn about the sickening cronyism of Toni Blair, not to mention his wife who has also made millions on dodgy property deals, not to mention her financial backing for the lawyers that have been hounding British troops for years - the same troops Blair sent out..

This exactly re Blair, the stuff they did whilst letting in anyone to de-Tory the country begs belief. His immigration policy was simple, come in and let's just put u on benefits. At least he helped create Isis hey......

Absolute nonsense-the only corruption in politics is in the Tory party.Well that's what most on this board would want you to believe.Gave up on honesty in politicians and politics-like believing in Father Christmas really.

That is utter nonsense regarding immigrants and benefits

Not sure why this gets much attention. His father created a vehicle to invest in USD stock, not an illegal tax avoidance scheme.

There are so many more newsworthy stories where things are very wrong. This is not one of them. Seems to me to be a distraction technique by the press that are owned by people who are doing dodgy tax deals. Don't get distracted from the real story.

Sorry ... I don't think The British populace are that intelligent, whilst the plastic Tories will continue to remain stubborn and comfort themselves with their own fairy-tales.

And, Cameron could have nipped it all in the bud last Monday. Now he is coming across as someone with something to hide, and many people (rightly or wrongly) view him as a hypocrite because of what he has said about these types of businesses before. He should just lie low and enjoy Aston Villa's challenge for the Top 4.

But surely the story SHOULD be about the mega rich avoiding tax NOW, not someone dad who died 5 years ago. You are all being subject to the press avoiding the real story, and you are all falling for it. The focus should be on these schemes and the people using them now.

Its the press playing the public for suckers and avoiding the real story. The important story of getting these people to actually pay their tax in a fair way. Dont get distracted by the press, the ones who are part of this problem. Focus on the problem now.

And who are the people who are actually able to make these people pay their tax in a fair way? The same people who are doing quite nicely out of it themselves, thank you.

That's why this is the story.
