Not surprising, Osborne is a snake in a human meat sack.

He,David Cameron is reported to have said, offshore accounts were immoral yet as Opposition leader he had one.

I think we, if asked to vote for someone, should be able to have some belief as to their integrity, this has shown not to be the case with David Cameron now on this issue.
Nothing at all to do with his deceased Father,he was never seeking high public office.

David Cameron had this account as did his wife too,yet denied they had,sorry but I think we need to see as much as possible about those seeking election to govt.
You can also tell a fair bit about people as to their financial affairs so for me full transparency should be the norm.
Especially as to anything that could be or is tax related in any possible sense.

Its been going on since Thatcher, we are only noticing now because the trains picking up speed. What we are now witnessing is state schools/NHS/fire/benefits service dismantling/war/corruption of culture and we all still thrive and refuse to believe we no longer live in a democracy because we are too busy being distracted by TV bull****; driven by buying fever and propaganda dressed up as culture

Militant as in confrontational, rather than indulging in armchair politics :

Something to do with the fact that there are three layers of tax to it all, going offshore means you can avoid tax on investing into other companies or forming new companies.
Any profits made are still taxed at the country you live in rate.
Mr Cameron didn't even make enough profit to warrant paying capital gains tax.
If the Ł30k was between both him and Mrs Cameronthen it pales into insignificance on the tax. he does have to pay.
His wage alone will be taxed at roughly Ł48k, plus anther Ł6k or so on national nsurance. No tax free allowance for such high earners.

I don't agree he should resign over it but one thing is sure the damage to him is done now by his saying such funds were immoral, and then that he hadn't had one or that his family had benefited from one.
When he did have one and so did his wife too.

Anyway he is packing up before the next election and if we vote to leave the EU too, then he is gone for sure I firmly believe and pretty quickly after the referendum too.
His party is now really gearing up to oust him I think and it seems even some media have the knives out for him too.

The worst thing about this is that his words as to it have been meaningless,his word really ought to be his bond holding such a high office.
You are right in saying it is a really big issue too, it is, all these so called legal loopholes should be stopped, will we ever get a govt that will stop them I doubt that but it certainly will not be done by this present govt.

Best bits between 3 mins in and 10 mins approx.
Note the clip of Cameron ranting on about Jimmy Carr... what a ****ing hypocrite. Not unexpected though. Seems to have failed in his spin-doctoring too.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...s-51-episode-1

Personally I don't think we've heard everything yet. Whoever is holding this information is likely holding back until Cameron thinks he's safe.
