Guess whose daddy had off-shore goings on!

Then, there's a great game you can try - short and sweet - but allows you to go back and try again so you to can learn how to squirrel away the millions you have no doubt been making on eBay!

It should be the other way around IPP:

I bet there are a few on here quaking in their boots, especially the thrifty ones trying to keep a nest egg out of the reach of family or the revenue😀

It just gets better and better

BBC

"Blairmore Holdings" - rather an unfortunate name in some ways.

David Cameron has called for greater transparency in tax havens and a clampdown on aggressive tax avoidance and evasion.

And then:

panama-fund-run-david-camerons

The new claims put pressure on David Cameron just an hour after Downing Street insisted the tax affairs of Ian Cameron, who died in 2010, were a "private matter".

So, that's greater transparency to ensure the minions are paying every penny of tax that can be clawed, but total cloaking on those overloaded with 'wealth' who don't want their affairs to be investigated.

Seems like more and more photos of him are showing a rather worrying inclination to not be able to manage his temper.

I seem to remember Call Me Dave making that particular soundbite a targeted mission ages ago. Not making a very good job of it is he ?

And the late Ian Cameron, father of the above. Oh dear, the shame of it all. *wonders how Dave the Rave will slither out of that one*

Move along nothing to see here

Yesterday most of our TV News was about Puttin, His Pals & Russia (even though Puttins name is not on them)

Today our TV Media are concentrating on the misdeeds of China, it's leaders & their Pals

Of course We Do get some info on Mr Cameron senior (deceased) & about Brinks Mat robbery

But -  The Cameron senior/Blairemore story was exposed by the Guardian Years ago

So our Establishment have started to close ranks,

How many Legal Tax experts did you see yesterday on TV, explaining How offshore Banking and Tax Avoidance are Legal -

BTW - The majority of the Money in these funds are in Banks based in British dependence's

[al**bear]

This is what should be happening outside Downing Street, in the 'City' and outside HMRC

Yesterday the largest demonstration ever in Iceland took place spontaneously in the Capital against their Prime Minister

The Guardian - BLAIRMORE HOLDINGS story from 2012

David Cameron's father ran a network of offshore investment funds to help build the family fortune that paid for the prime minister's inheritance, the Guardian can reveal.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2012/apr/20/cameron-family-tax-havens

Cameron senior also Had money held outwith the Panama link, in other Tax Havens, like Geneva & Jersey

The reason that the Tories are always so keen to distract attention away from the much more serious problem of tax dodging is that the people responsible are Cameron's donors. They are the people that the Tory party exists in order to serve. There's absolutely no way that Cameron could turn on his wealthy paymasters, even if he wanted to. All Cameron and the Tories can do is spout some tough talking rhetoric on tax-dodging and most of the guilible public believe him,

I love how some people not only think that one day that they will be rich but go a step further and think 'one day I will be rich so I better make sure that rich people today have a way to evade paying taxes as I will too when I am rich, and if anyone thinks otherwise they are undermining my future success and are obviously part of the politics of envy brigade

1). Nothing to do with you, move along.

2). Denial.

3). Admission - kind of.

Well it's been a funny old few days watching Cameron careering up and down on a banana skin regarding his shares, so it is with this in mind that I'm dedicating this particular song to him.

Obviously most posters understand exactly how these funds work judging by the criticism of them being made.

Could someone explain exactly what is wrong with them and for example how the shareholders of Blairmore Holdings gained any tax advantage by the company being based overseas.  Everything I've read seems to indicate that when dividends were paid to UK residents or shares were bought or sold then all UK taxes were paid by those individuals - in exactly the same way as if shares were bought on the New York Stock Exchange. 

So how do the owners of these companies actually gain any tax benefits?

[artful_dodgings]

What ? You mean you don't know ? You are actually asking someone else's opinion ? Now there's a first.

If there is a case to answer then so be it, however despite the cartoons and stereotypical comments I am yet to see a shred of evidence to say Cameron has done anything wrong. Should we be held responsible for the actions of a parent or relative? In Iceland the situation is far more clear cut, as is the case elsewhere. Politicians should rightly be scrutinised because they are in public office but this need to beat them just out of opportunity makes no sense whatsoever. Btw I have no strong leanings politically so perhaps that explains my confusion.

[upthecreekyetagain]

So what is the answer to my question or don't you know either? 🙂

Gave you a kudos in order to reset the balance of the Universe 🙂
