This is a rather interesting story, with fairly decent ramifications that oddly, the Press, and importantly Rupert Murdochs little bumchums completely failed to report on.

Makes for interesting reading

Now, given the overbearing furore about MP's Expense, and the BBC Expenses, and how the right wing gutter press kept on screeching about how they've ripped off the Tax Payer, one would forgive me for thinking that they'd have been all over this one seeing how a multi-billion tax bill on the greedy cheating thieving super-rich sods would be something of a shot in the arm for the economy.

But they didn't. Not a single line as far as I'm aware. Now, you don't suppose that Rupert 'Dingo Wucker' Murdoch and his cretinous chums might have wanted to keep schtum because their pudgy little fingers are so deep in this particular pie, they face having to cough up an awful lot of money, would be exposed as Tax Dodgers, thus making them ever so slightly hypocritical, seeing as they'd be the biggest rip-off merchants of them all??

So wait... you prosecute criminals in Europe?

I see nice view from here all right.

Dude... just so you know FOX NEWS is a joke right now... seriously. They are making dollars out of confirmation of total idiocy on their part. I hope the whole cable corporation of FOX gets ripped into pieces by their competition... the other networks just have to take tips from John Stewart... which in many ways is funny but very sad.

Yeah...

Doesnt suprise me at all. Murdoch and Assosiated Newspapers are some of the biggest tax dodgers you will ever find. No wonder it's a practice they never go out of their way to condem and expose.

I'm willing to bet the amount of money that the coffers of the state are denied as a result of this horrible practice puts the amount spent on walfare or claimed by MP's to shame. If only a reputable sourse was prepared to expose it.

Differance is MPs didn't break any laws, poor loves.

I believe this is not big news because the UK is just following in the footsteps of what the USA has just done recently on tax dodgers hiding their money in various european countries.

That is awfully similar to what happened in the US recently.

Nah. This is pretty big news, as we could see a domino type effect of Tax Haven countries throwing open their books to Governments to have a peek at, making it harder and harder to be a thieving, tax dodging arsehole!

Maybe , here's hoping.


Hmm... wait... what's this... an election coming up soon ? With all main parties short of funds and requiring donations ? Hmmm.... i wonder....
