The only people I expect to defend this sort of activity are those that do it themselves, and I doubt anyone here is rich enough to do it. So why they are defending this is beyond me when they're getting fecked in the aris too.

Cameron just admitted he held shares in his dad's tax haven, surely he's gonna resign?

Far be it for me to defend Cameron but you really should know the whole story before coming to that conclusion.

Life is not fair, people need to stop moaning and be happy for what they have.

If these guys are doing nothing illegal, they are doing nothing wrong. If they are breaking the law, then fair enough. But that's the point of the law. It's not up to these guys to try and do society a favour. They should be able to do as they please, as long as it is legal, and with privacy. If you think penalising the rich is a good plan then you are silly, they will just get up and move to somewhere more favourable.

Life is not fair, deal with it!

Can't be arrsed looking at the other posts but Cameron just admitted to having a stake in his fathers fund.

Surly he can fack off now?

some unscrupulous people have been taking advantage of naive footballers. You do have to feel pity for the likes of andy cole, lionel messi and ulloa. I doubt they knew what they were signing at the time.

Looks like Dave has got himself into another jam, you have to say he has been let down by certain people, first George Osborne and now even his late dad.

It is hard to punish someone who isn't breaking the law though.

There are many occasions where the law is an ar$e and we disagree with it.

It's one thing knowing you can't bust someone but saying it should be allowed is a whole other one.

What I heard was that it was around £30k, and the profit from it was within the tax allowance for 2010.

Here is a better piece of news coverage on Cameron. A sign here that there is nothing in it is that the BBC are not going for his jugular.

Depends on where you want to stand on your moral high horse Robb.

Remember your stance on Ched Evans because it was the law. And my stance on the law being an ar$e.

You can't change you moral high ground here.

Totally different thing. He did something morally wrong and deserved to be punished. These guys are also doing wrong morally,

I don't like Cameron but this is a bit of a non story at the moment. I don't think I would like him if he dissed his Dad plus if he resigns we will probably get George which is worse by a factor of two.

The law is the law Robb. You can't stand on one side of it one day and then the other the next.

That would be morally wrong.

Rubbish. There are a few growlers around the world that have taken advantage of me when I have been paralytic. I wouldn't want to see any of them sent to jail for it.

You don't know the whole story behind all of these names. That is why there is a disclaimer on it.

I understand it very well Robb. So did the prosecutor who apologized to Evans parents after the trial.

Because he appreciated what an ar$e the law is.

The problem is, that whilst the law is clear cut, morals are much less so, they are tricky things to pin down, and everybody has their own interpretation.
Eg, you are in the car with your wife on a motorway and she is speeding, ie breaking the law, should you report her? I don't think anyone on here would;
Next example, same scenario but you know she has drunk more than she should, but seems to be driving capably, do you report her.
Third scenario, as above but turning into the street she hits a parked car, what do you do;
Fourth scenario, similar to above but she runs over and kills someones pet dog, what do you do.
Fifth, as above but knocks down and injures someone, its the local drunk.

And so on. Tricky concepts morals.

Would you want them tonne punished in another way, other than jail?
I'm sure most people, even those with a similar disability as yours, whether temporary or permanent, would prefer that some sort of punitive action be taken against anyone offending in such a manner, more so as a deterrent.
The catch is that punitive action must correspond to the grievousness of the offence. This comes down to how repugnant society deems the offence. The two instances are therefore incomparable because your moral compass seems to be opposite of the majority which is that punitive measures should be taken, not necessarily jail time.

The only problem with the "if it's not a illegal, then it's ok" excuse, is that the politicians and corporations that benefit from the legality of it all, are the same people who implemented these laws in first place.

Cameron says he paid all the tax he owed and it was ONLY £30,000 (1 year salary for some struggling individuals) i'll wait until an investigation is complete before believing the word of a compulsive liar.
