All political parties in the UK are full of politicians in the Commons who are wealthy mostly due to inherited wealth.

(And don't try to tell me that no-one in Labour also used those loopholes.)

This has come about because some of the unwashed masses are wealthy enough to also use the loopholes, spoiling the pool for the rich toffs who have done this for donkey's years.

Just shows more short term bigoted thinking by successive British governments......

UK tax regulations are a mess.
Other European countries have clearly defined laws which mean people don't have to rely on their common sense and take the p*ss by finding loopholes.

My view is that laws are created when people decide not to let common sense dictate their actions and do something that the majority of people find a bit naughty! I'm sure the average caveman knew that whacking his rival over the head with a stick was wrong, but as there were no laws, decided to do it anyway. Hence the law forbidding murder was created - a rule that made it quite clear this sort of behaviour would not be tolerated.
Currently, offshore accounts / fake loans etc are avoidance because there is no law against it. There are certain people who are happy to play this game so the government has no option but to legislate. Hopefully it will be retrospective.

At least that's how it appears to me.
