Dick.David Cameron I mean. How dare he come out and - unprompted - say something like that about Carr when in April he flatly refused under questioning to go into the morality of his new government advisor's dealings - 'it is not appropriate for me to discuss an individual's tax position'.

So the tax avoidance schemes that were Cameron's father's line of business, through which he amassed a personal fortune in excess of £10M are OK but this scheme is bad is it?
And while I'm on the subject, since when were stand-up comedians supposed to set the moral compass for the nation FFS?
Carr's f&cked up. He's manned up. He's apologised. Let's hear every other tw@ who's used this or similar schemes do the same.

The sad thing is that people seemto be more angry about Carr's hypocrisy than the shitty tax laws.
If he hadn't done that bankers sketch, I bet no one would have cared.
Wish Carr had tried to turn it back on Cameron in his apology, though.

I think that will take place over a fairly extended timeframe from hence forth.

I think that sums it up for me nowIt's entirely possible the guy who gave him economic advice didn't actually point out a few minor details, and as long as he said "Oh don't worry, it's all perfectly legal and above board," then why would anybody not go for it?
