Wait, you mean a partner in a hedge fund firm, who received vast sums of cash tax free via a Cayman Islands vehicle and doesn't declare it in the UK, is not entirely trustworthy?

It's why I doubt he has any visions of becoming PM, there's no way he's giving all that up. His anti-EU rhetoric is about continuing his tax avoidance on that income rather than giving it up to become PM.

Did he do something illegal?

Are you suggesting that somehow because he didn't do something illegal he shouldn't be trusted?

I find it very ironic that a billionaire is touted as a man of the people.

A tax avoiding billionaire who will make a lot of money out of brexit that is.

Of course not, avoidance is not evasion.

But is he really a "man of the people" when his interests are clearly in his tax avoidance? There was an uproar when Cameron was found out doing it.

I think you'll find that JRM pays exactly the correct amount of tax.

As for being a "man of the people"? What are the qualifications for that role and where does he not meet them?

No doubt he pays the exact amount, but what would be interesting is to know how much he would pay if he didn't avoid a lot of tax
Probably you're one of those people saying how shameful it is that google, amazon, starbucks, facebook, etc hardly pay any tax in the uk

Being Etonian hardly qualifies as being someone of the people
