OT: Oh no, not politics again (PLEASE DON'T LOOK IF EASILY OFFENDED)

[i961pie]

It quickly becomes a political point all by itself - a fair amount of that untaxed money comes back as contributions to the tory party coffers

So none of this was happening during Blairs 10 years in government then?

You're wrong, of course it was happening. But for 'Blair' read tory and I'd mention the scale, but it's wrong whether its 5 million or 50 million. Even Osborne called them ''leeches on society''.

I'd hazard a guess that nobody on here banks in the Cayman Islands (maybe one or two in Jersey but that'll be it!) Probably 99% of Notts fans have contributed to the state through PAYE for all they've earned for all their lives. Only the sick-minded can support those privileged few who avoid contributing through tax avoidance scams.

I wasn't wrong it was a rhetorical question. Blair was elected as leader of the Labour party the most successful of all time, says it all really.

It says nothing actually, about what we were talking about - offshore tax evasion and political funding of conservative political projects from these sources.

And 'Blair was elected leader of the Labour Party'!? Didn't know that, I'd always thought he'd won the position in a tombola.

Oh what a shining wit--I think I got that right
