Pigs in a trough. As Millibsnd quite rightly told CaMoron yesterday, he is "Bang to rights" & up to his neck in it.
Sleazy donors with hidden offshore accounts to avade tax give cash to the Conservatives. As a reward, Cameron appoints them as lords of the realm, with powers to affect democratic votes.
Corruption at the highest echelons of government. No wonder the Bullingdon buffoon looked so scared - he has been sussed out.

The man who blew the whistle on the HSBC tax scandal tells Sky he first raised concerns seven years ago, when Labour was in power.

Some posters seem to jump on any supposed wrong doing by the Tories without checking the facts first!!

Some people don't read things before they post them:

In an interview with Sky News, Mr Falciani claims to have emailed and called Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs in 2008 - though he said the full processed data was only given to UK authorities in 2010.

The dirty deal by the Tories and the Swiss signed off when they already had the data.

The Tax Agreement between the UK and Switzerland was signed on 6 October 2011 by the Exchequer Secretary David Gauke and the Swiss Finance Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf.

What a bunch of chancers this lot are. And the HMRC guy at the time the deal was done left 60 months later to join HSBC as their tax specialist.

Yu couldn't make it up.
