British government to nationalize B&B

Are we seeing the government's ultimate tax system? Hold all your savings/investments to ransom unless you pay enough tax, which might coincidentally be the same amounts.

There is an alternative and that is .....

I am suprised the B&B kept going for so long in the current situation and with the mess that thay made for themselves. The real shock was HBOS. That should never have gone. Hopefully that should now be it for the British Banks.
If another UK based bank does go a bit wobbly then we really are in trouble because there are no more "small" ones left.

Where can I find an up to date list of safe havens abroad, where the tax man and his friends can't or won't bother looking for me?

Surely that's what that Foster guy should have done instead of bumping off his wife and daughter over debt. Max out everything and do a runner. There must be somewhere safe out there, where you don't have to worry about turning up on al-jazeera with a knife to your throat?
