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.

If Camerons dad had stashed money away , wouldn't Dave know through a Will left to him otherwise what's the point of hiding money .

LOOK AT HEADLINE NEWS ON WINDOW 10

Mossack Fonseca leak: Iceland PM faces snap election, FIFA official, and Cameron's father implicated

To keep it hidden from prying eyes like the chancellors!

They are old boys together.

Happy days are here again.

Europe's proudest day!

You must remember that the use of tax havens itself is not illegal. A lot depends on the source of the money.

as has frequently been said, you can't blame the guys who use the rules fairly
if you don't like the rules then change them, as is now and belatedly happening

panama of course has always been a dodgy location, and assuredly hmrc will have flagged anyone who uses that for off-shore registration
however, if you are putin and the ilk, you'll do as you like

so why should the low paid be made to paye they have no chose and end up paying more tax than the rich

unlike MrT, i shan't bother to repeat yet again

unlike cynic will say this the rich who buy the gov favours for tax perks the low paid do not have any chance .

the governments have and will always have loop holes for the rich to reduce taxes
and will never close the loop holes its suits the rich

For a right wing Tory, you don't half spout a load of Left Wing Shite TANKS. :0)

I recorded the first of the new series of Maigret and decided to watch it last night to console myself after England's self destruct at the cricket.
Rowan Atkinson plays Maigret, very badly as it happens. A mixture of the Thin Blue Line and Mr Bean, without the fun. Seems to spend most of his time lighting a bloody pipe and looking pensive. When he walks away, with his sloping shoulders, he looks like a parody of Charlie Chaplin. What a let down again. : ((

maigret
thoroughly agree
though i must have been quite young, i have good memories of the original with rupert davies
this version was dire and certainly shan't be watching again

=============

watched the first episode of "undercover" last night, and that looks very promising

I prefer ITV's drama's to the BBC's, 'The Durrell's' started on itv last night, and there's one starting at 9 tonight, 'Marcelle', which is supposed to be rather 'steamy'....

"undercover" is pretty gritty stuff, to use a popular modern phrase

wonder if it it'll be anywhere as near as good as "the night manager" which i thought was brilliant, and so it seems did about 11m others

They are using the wrong car. The French police only used a 3 litre 'Big 6'. The model in the series is an 11b normale which is 2 litre (called a big 15 here, 11 French horsepower is 15 UK horsepower. There is also a light 15 with an even smaller body). The body of the police cars were slightly bigger and the front grill is different.

i also noted that the car (in maigret) was very different from what i remembered

David Cameron’s father ran an offshore fund that avoided ever having to pay tax in Britain by hiring a small army of Bahamas residents – including a part-time bishop – to sign its paperwork.

Ian Cameron was a director of Blairmore Holdings Inc, an investment fund run from the Bahamas but named after the family’s ancestral home in Aberdeenshire, which managed tens of millions of pounds on behalf of wealthy families.

Clients included Isidore Kerman, an adviser to Robert Maxwell who once owned the West End restaurants Scott’s and J Sheekey, and Leopold Joseph, a private bank used by the Rolling Stones.

The fund was founded in the early 1980s with help from the prime minister’s
