His father used a slightly different arrangement, of course, which wasn't morally wrong, obviously. Morality is complicated, too complicated for the proles.

Ed Miliband has hit the nail on the head.

Labour leader Ed Miliband said: "I'm not in favour of tax avoidance obviously, but I don't think it is for politicians to lecture people about morality.

"I think what the politicians need to do is - if the wrong thing is happening - change the law to prevent that tax avoidance happening."

And it especially matters to millennials.
