Re: Offshore Accounts.
I did the same as yourself Jim, i needed new timber windows made, the guy was a one man band, so i gave him a n ammount of money for his timber outlay, then stage payments until they were fitted and satisfactory. I paid him cash, whether he declared it or not is not my business. i have paper proof of my payments etc. I do the same when my gas boiler is serviced, pay cash, kt

Re: Offshore Accounts.
The reason why there is a worldwide outcry over the secrets revealed in Panama is the people involved are the wealthiest on the planet. They can easily afford to pay all that is due but deliberately refuse to do so. Greed and corruption so widespread the national debt could be written off if the taxes were paid. They are depriving the N.H.S, education department and social services of vital resources while ordinary men and women are suffering cuts to their living standards. The parasites donate to the Tory party and are given titles and a seat in the Lords as a reward.

Re: Offshore Accounts.
I don't think Prescott donated to the Conservative party when he was given a title and a seat in the Lords.

Re: Offshore Accounts.
Our dear PM Dave made the statement yesterday that basically he is clean, him and his family, no shares, no offshore etc. His father , who is now dead, had an account in Panama, quoted as being 14 million, so assuming Dave and any siblings inherited this money, could it now be classed as illegal money?, and if so,could he be liable now for the tax on that money????. All i know is that i get get hammered for everything on my pension, so i would like to see some justice dished out, but i am not holding my breath, kt

Re: Offshore Accounts.
Hi KT .I would think that his mother, the widow, would have inherited the wealth, so he still has not got anything YET. we will have to wait a bit longer. Maybe she will leave it all to the local Dogs Home.

Re: Offshore Accounts.
The Cameron offshore account has now been moved to Ireland. Not one penny has been paid to the U.K. government in the 30 years it has operated.

Re: Offshore Accounts.
I wonder how much it would be worth for a whistleblower to spill the beans.Name his/her own price I imagine.

Re: Offshore Accounts.
The big problem is.................
If those off shore accounts are Legal, what is the problem? Why the witch hunt??
I am not sticking up for Cameron because the Labour Leaders last time all condoned it. Why?? were they all doing the same???
So if we are blaming and criticising someone, why not criticize all of them. They are ALL Equally as guilty. There are No good guys in any of the political parties.
Every government, both Labour and Conservatives all had the chance of closing that loop hole,
Labour did Nothing about it in over 13 years last time they were in. That was plenty of time to do it. Was that because they were doing it as well.??
If it was legal then No Problem until the Law is changed.
If it was Illegal then gaol the berstereds,Simple , But do not waste time arguing over something that does not exist, just trying to score cheap political points,
Just close the loop hole and problem solved..
We are turning into a Nation of Envy. not good.
End of.
Brian.

Re: Offshore Accounts.
I'm glad you said that Brian as it would appear that some people feel sorry for Cameron it's like been back at school my dad can fight your dad.It makes no difference from what political party they are from they cannot and should not be defended or taken pity on.Why do people with so much money that they will never be able to spend want more.
