There's nothing wrong with a bit of Cameron-bashing, especially with the Tories going ahead of Labour in a couple of opinion polls for the first time for two years. His hypocrisy knows no bounds, with him inheriting money from his tax-dodging father, as well as the discrepancy between his attack on anti-government comedian Jimmy Carr as soon as his involvement in a tax-dodging scheme was revealed in 2012 (with Carr paying the money back immediately) and his lack of such condemnation of Gary Barlow who campaigned for the Tories at the last general election (until Cameron felt the pressure two days after the scheme Barlow used was judged illegal on Friday, but he nevertheless still opposes Barlow being stripped of his OBE).
Cameron's late father Ian took advantage of the abolition of all capital controls in 1979 (hint - the year Thatcher came to power) allowing money to be moved to tax havens without being taxed or controlled by the UK government. I dug up an old Guardian article to back that assertion up (of course to avoid being sued) in my original blog post in October, which I noticed yesterday became the most popular on my blog, since it moved to its new location on 1 May.
The main target is really big business (including Amazon who have just been revealed to have paid a mere 1,000th of their UK sales in tax to the UK Treasury) and politicians like Cameron (and Farage) who reflect their interests, rather than relatively small fry like Barlow.
Three items from my blog:
