    Now you know how it works, to avoid accusations of hypocrisy, you'd better move your money into a pension that invests only in the UK based companies. Good luck with your dotage, in that case.
    No! I'm quite happy to have my pension fund invested in Panama and I intend to emigrate and live off the proceeds!

    I didn't get funded to go to Eton via a family trust in Panama and I don't lead a government bent on propping up the rich at the expense of the dispossessed whilst they bend all the rules for their own self gratification and enrichment. Gauke and his expenses fiddling, Dave and Gidiot with their offshore family companies, Hodge with her "teeny investment" of millions in her family company etc all avoiding tax yet making laws as if they were angels of purity.

    I hate all of them, they are scum.

      Quite a few of the dodgy ones are not Conservative "toffs"
      True, remember the expenses scandal? I remember a quote from Hitchens, who said it was ironic that scandals in the Labour party, who purport to be working for the poorer were usually around money and the tories who are seen to uphold conservative values, were around sex,

          You can tell that people don't really understand what is going on by the amount of 'invest in Panama' quotes. The people and companies names were not primarily investing in Panama but were using a Panama based law company to incorporate firms in offshore tax havens, primarily British colonies. The following might give some people fun as its pictorial: https://panamapapers.icij.org/graphs/
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              Your powers of analysis are poor and you're muddled.

              Here are some facts:

              1. Hodge is Labour, not part of the govt.
              2. This Tory government has taxed the 1% much more than ever Labour did.
              See post with graph at start of thread.
              3. The country is deeply in debt and spending needs to be curtailed to avoid problems in the future. Not everything that people want funded can be funded. Money does not grow on trees. It comes from people creating wealth by starting or growing businesses.
              4. Finally, everywhere socialism has been tried it has resulted in the masses suffering shortages of housing, basic goods and opportunities. Apart from the 1%.
              Hard Brexit now!

                    wouldn't it just.

                    But there again if he only has a few quid to his name I'm not going to be impressed either.
