I have very mixed views on this Jock. Whilst I believe that tax dodging is wrong, many of these have been convicted of nothing and if they leave their affairs in the hands of 'specialists' they may not even know they are doing anything suspect.

I've always said that if it wanted, HMRC could prevent most of the 'tax loss' by re-writing the rules. The fact that it won't do that leads me to believe it is selective and political over who it chooses to persecute.

I'm not a fan of either but Sir Cliff Richard and Sir Paul McCartney have always 'resided' in the UK and always paid their taxes.

Maybe so Dutchman but the Queen and her son Charlie send money abroad to tax havens to avoid tax. Other wealthy people do the same and remain in this country.
