Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

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.

cheers GF.

well i'm sure that makes sense to someone, but not me!

Then think again.

HSBC: 'Tax scroungers' let off lightly, says MP Hodge
5 hours ago
Britain's biggest bank helped wealthy clients cheat the UK out of millions of pounds in tax, the BBC has learned.
Panorama has seen thousands of accounts from HSBC's private bank in Switzerland leaked by a whistleblower in 2007.
HSBC admitted that some individuals took advantage of bank secrecy to hold undeclared accounts. But it said it has now "fundamentally changed".
Chair of the Public Accounts Committee Margaret Hodge told the BBC that "benefits scroungers" are being made an example of, while "tax scroungers" are let off lightly.

Cameron’s vow to tackle tax avoidance ‘disingenuous and hypocritical’
Published time: October 31, 2014 18:00

Multinational firms which exploit loopholes to avoid paying tax in the UK will be pushed to “damn well pay,” David Cameron said on Thursday. The PM’s statement was denounced as disingenuous by global tax expert and UK economist Richard Murphy.

Cameron’s comments follow recent controversy over the manner in which mammoth firms such as Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon, and Starbucks flout tax on revenues generated in Britain.

Speaking to RT on Friday, Murphy dismissed the prime minister’s pledge to tackle tax avoidance in Britain as hollow rhetoric. Lauded as 2013’s 7th most influential person on the international tax stage, Murphy has been instrumental in placing tax havens on the global agenda. But the economist and anti-poverty campaigner holds little hope for a tangible tax policy shift from the current coalition.

“The problem is that David Cameron’s walk and his talk are completely inconsistent. The truth is that he’s almost always on the side of the companies that are not paying tax,” he said.

Cameron is all mouth and no trousers.

He ponces across the an imaginary like the hollow image he is.

He has done little or nothing to clean up tax avoidance an evasion and the voters know why!

BBC1 8.30pm tonight for all those people who want off shore tax scrounging exposed... needless to say the "Con" party and other right wing extremists will not watch it... or claim so.

leaked by a whistleblower in 2007
if that reads like it looks as though it does, then what was your mate Mr Brown doing?

Waiting for the Messiah to walk on water as he promised to do!

Check the leak and what it wet!

No mate of mine mate -):

he must surely be one of fractious fred's :-)

It's all relative isn't it.

what is relative to what?

I think somebody should tell the Cameron and his cohorts that if their fathers' wet their beds there is is no need to copy them.

They have irresponsibly governed for the almost 5 years, they could have addressed the problem and haven't.

I think, as many others do, that they did not do so, out of choice!

All of it.

and labour for 13 years before that, and apparently for 3 years after this leak

I'll tell you what : it's not looking to good in Ukraine the way things are going.....never thought that Europe would have another major war ever again...but there you go....I'm surprised gold hasn't rocketed...

as i wrote on ftse thread, that + greece + GE is exactly why it will be dangerous to have much money long for the coming months

Don't try and change the subject Alf, just watch the programme.

i'm more interested in trying to make some money on the stock market ... i may or may not watch depending on what Beloved is doing

meanwhile for all you champagne and pretend socialists, you may like to enlighten yourselves a little (fat chance) by going to http://www.desborough.org.uk/Radley-College

fyi, desborough used to be a top class grammar school that slowly sunk to becoming a low grade comprehensive "in need of improvment" ..... this is what eventually happened

A link that works c, I'm surprised at you!


http://www.desborough.org.uk/Radley-College
