I haven't ploughed through all 8 pages, so apologies if this has already been said. Isee David Cameron has now back pedalled fast (clearly a man of conviction then) out of fear ministers may, quite rightly, come under scrutiny.
People can make moral judgements all they like, but Jimmy Carr has done nothing wrong and should not be singled out from the thousands of others that do it. It's even been suggested it was only said as a diversionary tactic to something else going on now - possibly a somewhat unpopular bill coming up for debate on Monday or Tuesday, I forget which.
I make no secret of the fact I am poor. I had money, lost my health, and thus my salary, got into debt and have got out of it again, but at a price. I am now so passionate about consumer things I've set up my own debt advice charity which is a huge success. I'm not allowed to work, so this is my little contribution.
Many times, I have spent the last of my money to help someone else, so no real danger of tax avoidance for me. If I could legally pay less, I would. What I would prefer is to pay my tax, as I do, but be able to choose where it goes more.
David Cameron's own family made their money from tax evasion - who is he to judge others?
At times, despite their supposed education, they appear to have plenty of intelligence but no common sense. Mabe they've never needed it?
I say good luck to those that can do it legally. Of course another genuine route to avoid tax is to give to charity, but they're not judged badly for doing that!
