    This Cameron non-story

    So there seem to be quite a few very loud cretinous socialists and losers making a big hoo-ha about legitimate tax planning - stuff we would all do, in fact.
    Some on here are making an equivalence between the very dodgy schemes they subscribed to, which meant they paid virtually no tax on earnings and comparing that with the gifts parents make their children assuming they last 7 years (aka Ronnie Corbett, Cameron) and investment trusts which anyone can legitimately create.
    Seriously is the future of the UK to become a backwater, insular, socialist loser state as the Brexiteers and socialists (who increasingly seem to be in the same camp) want?
    Hard Brexit now!

              So if journalists are baying for blood, you suspend your analytical judgement and assume they're right?
              Were you dropped on your head as a baby?
              What law has Cameron broken exactly?

                  It's still a story though due to the way it was handled, you framed your question wrong, did he do anything illegal or immoral? No he just looks a bit of a hypocrite.

                    David Cameron's taxes: What the Panama Papers really reveal about David Cameron | The Economist

                    The Panama Papers leak revealed that the prime minister’s late father, Ian, had something called a “unit trust” fund, whereby a group of people pool their money (by buying shares, or units, of the total kitty) and use it to invest in a variety of securities, spreading the risk. Its incorporation offshore, initially in Panama, was seemingly motivated by administrative convenience rather than tax-dodging: the Camerons paid British taxes on their income from it. Millions of Britons use similar arrangements, albeit indirectly, through pension funds which invest in hedge funds prone to such practices. Nothing that has emerged suggests that the prime minister’s family broke any rules.
                    Probably hard to get the message through some very thick journalistic skulls though,

                    How did British journalism sink to these depths. Basically they're now publishing complete sh**te on a daily basis.
