Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

Can you see a pattern forming ?

my recollection is that when this list first came out, there was a lot of home-grown talent on it ..... the claims against them were just as large, though primarily for evasion .... of course many of those involved will have claimed overseas residency/domicile, even if it was somewhat suspect in tax liability terms

You clearly misunderstand what she meant.
It is a frequently misquoted comment. It only has any meaning in context.

The country has benefitted immensely from her period of government.





Bollox ..... ask anyone from the S Wales valleys but don't they count ?????

Errr ..... why do I get the feeling just looking at their pics that those most wanted tax dodgers aint Welsh ???

They were let down by Scargill.

Compared to April, twice as many Britons now believe the economy is starting to recover – and the number who say the economy is getting worse is down by around 15 points since November 2012

The economy has been the battleground issue of the week, with good economic news of rises in factory output, car sales and house prices being rebutted by the Labour Party, whose living standards campaign claimed that by 2015 the average worker will have lost £6,600 under the coalition government. New research by YouGov finds that the number of Britons who say the economy is recovering has doubled since April.

30% of British adults now say that ‘the economy is in a bad way, but is starting to show signs of recovery,’ compared to 13% who felt the same in April. The figure is at its highest level since November 2012 (21%), when the question was first asked. Additionally, the number who say ‘the economy is still getting worse’ is at its lowest point of 25%; down 13 points since last November.

I suggest that those like you who admire the success of the the UK economy should step back and have a look at the figures.

Also, have a look at the the "gurus" and bought opinions who are voicing success.

The problem for the PR party is that they may find at the next election the PR men are outnumbered by those who are more aware of the consequences of their deluded economic policies and see the fallacious claims of the short term recovery and the even worse effects "boom and burst" tory economic theory.

Of course the "tories" are praising the housing price increases as measurement of economic success, but will have sold out and moved Austria or the Cayman isles before the next crash.


"loads of cash" mentality.

I see France has been down rated with all that infrastructure spend you mentioned days ago Fred. May just stay out of recession. I take it you avoided the press today with Labour having been warned they are heading to defeat with the present leader.
You make no mention of this, very odd. :-))

This was May

French economy returns to recession

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22536197

France has entered its second recession in four years after the economy shrank by 0.2% in the first quarter of the year, official figures show.

Its economy shrank by the same amount in the last quarter of 2012.

President Francois Hollande has said he expects zero growth in 2013, lower than a 0.1% growth forecast by the French government.

Separate figures showed that the recession across the 17-nation eurozone has continued into a sixth quarter.

A recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth.

The economy of the 17-nation bloc shrank by 0.2% in the January to March period, according to the EU's statistics office Eurostat, with nine of its members now in recession.

Looks like we are doing pretty well compared to a Socialist country!
