The UKs 19% corporation tax must seem like a tax haven to some, like Germany and the USA, both with corporation tax rates over 10% higher.

Problem is and this is a description from this weeks Private Eye:

‘[tax havens] set the world back trillions of dollars every year and sustain any number of corrupt businesses and political regimes’

Basically the legitimate use of tax havens masks a world of money hiding (think Russian oligarchs), criminal enterprise, money laundering, tax evasion and other financial crime.

You just totally pig ignorant of all this it seems.

You get your facts and opinions from Private Eye and have the audacity to call somebody pig ignorant in the same post.. :hihi::hihi:

What about the points I raised. Are you disputing them?

Is there something non-credible about Private Eye? Genuine question.

Do you mean apart from it being a comic? Private Eye lost it's mojo years ago. A weekly round up of a few tips offs and rumours massaged into vaguely amusing reader triggers doesn't make it an Andrew Gilligan Panorama Special.

Look, the truth is that anything and everything "masks a world of money hiding (think Russian oligarchs), criminal enterprise, money laundering, tax evasion and other financial crime".

Emotionally charged language like that underlines the paucity of the argument.

If it's legal, it's legal, and I couldn't care any more than I care about your ISA's or Premium Bonds.

Private Eye is satirical rather than 'comic' and is well known for publicly exposing vice and folly.

I'm not sure the paragraph in bold is true, and even if it was, why do you just accept this as acceptable and try to normalise it?

It is depriving the exchequer of millions if not billions of revenue that could not only bring an end to austerity in one fell swoop, but fund all our essential services.

I take it you prefer to see it buying yet more yachts and private jets for the super rich, and, much more sinister, buying them power. Why would you want this?

Yes, I want more private jets and yachts for the super rich. If you worked for Rolls Royce, Lear, or Sunseeker, you wouldn't be so quick to dismiss other people's jobs paid for by other people's money.

The world of the average committed Socialist (not just regular Labour voters) is so utterly lifeless and devoid of colour and most of all, ambition. It's always somebody else that has to pay, never them.

Not emotionally charged at all. It’s fact.
