Yeah good one.
So do you think tax avoiders should be named and SHAMED?

Select commitee does, Douglas Alexander doesn't.

I agree, I don't believe public companies should be able to claim that privacy is important for something like that.

I think that the Inland Revenue should do their job and ensure that they collect sufficient tax from these people.
Hopefully the extra budget just announced should facilitate this.

I can't believe I'm actually going to say this
but I think AB is right. If the loopholes weren't there, people couldn't take advantage of them.

It's never going to happen though, is it?

The 'name and shame' brigade relies of peer pressure, but as most of the peers of the board members involved are actual peers, they couldn't give a fucking monkey's what we think of them.
