I'll stick to the Guardian thanks
Still fair play to the BBC here. We'll be up to our scrawny necks in it too no doubt.

The information contained in the documents is huge. This is a story that will continue to run and reveal for years.

Poor Dave; I bet he was totally unaware of his father’s own attempts to hide the ownership of Blairmore Holdings, Inc. in order to avoid paying taxes in the UK http://www.thecanary.co/2016/04/04/g...onaire-father/

Looks like everyone's okay with these documents being "leaked". I mean, it fits in with a lot of people's agendas, doesn't it. David Cameron's Dad... how fortunate.
Anyone interested in who it was who leaked these documents? I mean, there is a whole other thread about Apple refusing to allow the Security Services to access a terrorist's phone because it'll apparently threaten "personal privacy"... but there's an awful lot of support... and a certain amount of glee... that some nameless, faceless organisation has unlawfully accessed what are essentially private files because it shames people you don't like. You can't have it both ways... no access for the security services but full acceptance of some spotty hacker because he reinforces your own agenda. |

If it was a whistleblower/hacker, if they broke the law publishing it, they should be prosecuted. Simple really. |

Whilst Cameron is not accountable for his fathers actions, he does have a duty to answer questions about whether or not he still has links to this offshore company. He can't claim its a private matter when tax evasion is of public interest and very much a public concern.
Lets also not forget that Cameron has a very privileged background which was financed by his fathers offshore dealings. If my parents stole the crown jewels and left them to me in their will, I wouldn't be allowed to keep or benefit from those jewels because they never really belonged to my parents, they belonged to the country.

Ian Cameron's offshore dealings were public knowledge years ago.
Plenty of people put their money offshore, the same as Swiss bank accounts. If it is not illegal then what is all the fuss about.....Ohhh yeah, someone with money and privilege might be getting one over on the taxman, these same people that probably already pay more taxes than us plebs earn. Good for them. Seems it is a sin to be well off in this country. |

When a crime is being committed, as we see here; then we often rely on whistle-blowers. Lets take a nursing home scenario where elderly folks with dementia are being abused. Its usually just one person who sees the going on as morally wrong and decides to pull the plug on this criminal activity.
I work in an environment where we are expected to whistle-blow if we see anything we deem to be suspicious. The person who has pulled the plug on this massive tax evasion has not done so for financial gain or for notoriety, though he/she did ask for protection. They did not personally meet journalists in the flesh or talk to them on the phone. Everything was handed of in encrypted files. If the government had been able to unlock encryption, these files very probably couldn't of been handed over because they would of been immediately blocked and traced back to the sender.

Oh and before anyone says, tax evasion is not a crime...in my eyes its very much a crime. Its ****ing appalling that people are allowed to get away with this sort of theft.

Avoidance may appear unfair to most, but until they change or tighten up the rules then it is quite within the law to stash your stash. Well worth a visit to a decent financial advisor if you come into a little windfall. |

If you have a good accountant he can save you a bomb, like you say. And I don't know anyone who says no... I won't claim that as a business expense because I want to pay as much tax as I can. Quite the reverse. |

The British bourgeoisie and aristocracy have been benefiting from these arrangements for a very long time. Half this country is now owned by offshore investors and so no, I don't accept that the few crumbs the government throws at the British electorate is enough to pacify me. Why should the minions who humbly pay their taxes have to subsidise these massive tax avoiders. So... NO, I don't trust this corrupt government to gain access to our privacy and I don't believe for a second that they want access to encryption because of terrorism.

"I said Cameron needs to answer questions regarding his current interests in his inheritance. "
DR he did today Live on SkyNewsHD & BBCNewsHD (Northern Live Event) all legal. His Dead Dad seems to be more a Problem with Fecking Labour wasting time over this. Last edited by arista; 05-04-2016 at 03:12 PM. |
