Non-story.

It would be more newsworthy if a family like Cameron's did pay their tax.

"David Cameron’s father ran an offshore fund that avoided ever having to pay tax in Britain by hiring a small army of*Bahamasresidents – including a part-time bishop – to sign its paperwork.

Ian Cameron was a director of Blairmore Holdings Inc, an investment fund run from the Bahamas but named after the family’s ancestral home in Aberdeenshire, which managed tens of millions of pounds on behalf of wealthy families.

Clients included Isidore Kerman, an adviser to Robert Maxwell who once owned the West End restaurants Scott’s and J Sheekey, and Leopold Joseph, a private bank used by the Rolling Stones.

The fund was founded in the early 1980s with help from the prime minister’s late father and still exists today. The Guardian has confirmed that in 30 years Blairmore has never paid a penny of tax in the UK on its profits."

did anyone else read that as "fun run" and find the title comfusing?

anyway, the question is given "The Guardian has confirmed that in 30 years Blairmore has never paid a penny of tax in the UK on its profits", did they also confirm how much was due? im wondering if we should disband the HMRC and instead employ journalists to gather the nations tax.

They'd certainly do a better job than the continual blind-eye this government turns to their family and friends

How many tax loopholes did the Lib Dems, Liberals, and Labour close? Norman Wisdom, one of our directors lived in the Isle of Man because it was a tax haven.

Interesting to see at least three current leaders of countries and close friends of Putin and many other serving politicians are named as having personally used this service but the Guardian/Beeb seem more interested in someone's dad who died several years ago.

You think it strange that a British newspaper concentrates on British politicians rather than foreign ones? You have a very strange idea of news values

So you don't think it's more relevant that there are 3 active World leaders involved in this than someone who died in 2010, just 4 months after Labour lost power after 13 years of rule over this country where this was happening under their watch?

Easier to make remarks about austerity and "we're all in it together" than face the fact that Labour didn't do much about it either when in power. They had ample time whilst in power to deal with it, but like so many corporate business tax avoidance, etc, they turned just a blind eye to it all too.

I'm not sure why you are saying Auntie is the same as the Grauniad though.
