Cameron family fortune made in tax havens

[Pete]

"David Cameron's father set up offshore investment funds which explicitly boasted of their ability to remain outside UK tax jurisdiction."

Why am I not surprised...

What a supreme two faced git he is!

Never mentioned the family fortune when slagging off Jimmy Carr. 

As usual, one rule for them, another for us...

Can't blame Carr for playing the system, Cameron is in a position to close the loopholes

He'll upset too many of his kind if he did that.
I suspect Carr is at the small end of this - peanut money to some.
Shame he's been picked on if its apparently legal at this moment in time.
I'm sure there are far bigger names out there doing the same thing,earning billions,rather than millions, and if I were Jimmy Carr right now, I'd be suing the pants off whoever published his details.
Cameron needs to tread very carefully on this one. Don't like him anyway, and if it contributes in some way to his demise then I'll be happy

Nice one Slackburger.

Blair and Brown were in a position to close them for about 13 years. They surely had more reason to close them than Cameron has (given that his natural supporters are the ones likely to be benefiting). So Comrade Slacker what went wrong?

Stay on topic please you hopeless fuckers

If it was an issue at that time there drdn't seem to be such high profile cases

Yep - even more angry now.

There in lies the difference. Legally Jimmy Carr has done nothing wrong. Argue morally if you wish. But he is an individual face who we can identify with so we can all get full of self righteous.
Vodafone are acting illegally but they are a faceless corporation who we figure will always get away with these things so we accept it with tired resignation.
Just as a curiosity.

You all own/run your own businesses.
I assume you all have accountants filing tax returns for you?
Can you all honestly say that you have never accepted perfectly legal advice from those accountants as to ways to keep your tax bill down and retain more of your income?
