Well thats a ******* surprise, Mr. Ethnocentric with another xenpophobic statement. C'mon say something new although that might be too radical for a right wing codger

(Apparently Thatcher's favourite car was a Mercedes! I believe the model favoured by dictators as well.)

I'm guessing Global Warming means offshore banks are under water now?

How will the new laws against secrecy work?

HMRC should just ask for a complete list of bank accounts with statements from them in self assessment, long jail sentences and konfiscation of assets for those who fail to provide full information

If the bank do disclose the accounts to inland revenues then they will be breaking their agreements with their clients, hence they can be sued??
In agreements with customers it will say clearly that the bank-customer agreements supersedes any country law

I didn't think a contract could supersede law. If it comes down to it then the law will always win, the contract has to work within the law. I am not a lawyer though.
