There are elements in every part of society that are corrupt, there are people who illegally claim benefits, there are people who have work done and pay cash, there are people who are self employed who have two sets of books, anyone with a spare few thousand and a good accountant can squirrel money offshore, its not a privilege of the very rich, and its nothing new, I think we need to turn our attention to third world countries like Africa where 30% of the countrys wealth is held offshore, yet their people are starving and dying of malaria and other preventable diseases, that is more of a scandal in my eyes
