    Now Cameron's wife is at it!

    Samantha Cameron working as a creative consultant for luxury leather firm Smythson, which shifted its headquarters to Luxembourg to dodge UK tax.

    Well thats no surprise is it.

    David Cameron repeatedly dodged questions today on whether he would close a loophole which allows hedge fund operators to avoid millions in taxes.

    I have said it before, be they Conservative, Lib Dem or Labour, Most Politicians are in it for what they can get out of it for themselves. They don't represent you or I, they represent "The Self Party". As proof, you only need to look at what Salary Increases they vote for themselves as MPs. It's 11%, whilst Joe public has to put up with a mere 1% rise - if indeed any at all.

    It was alleged Cherie Blair, whilst PM's wife, was raking in Thousands from her Consultative work, so we should not be at all surprised to find Cameron's wife doing the same thing. What would be surprising is, if she didn't.

    It is wrong for a Company to earn their profits in this Country, yet be allowed to avoid paying Millions in Taxes simply by relocating its HQ to another Country. But surely in Cameron's case, there is a conflict of interests here; on the one hand, she is the PM's wife, whilst on the other, she is offering a Consultancy service to a Tax-Avoiding Company.

    Jeez! If you or I forget to declare a small job we've done with a value of a hundred pounds or so, we are treated like criminals. Yet, here we are with yet another BIG Company legally avoiding paying Tax. It's all wrong and none of the main parties will close the loopholes, because their fingers are also in the same Pie. Grrrrrrrrrrr ... and they reckon Philippine Politicians are corrupt? Ours are NO different.

    No surprises, Cameron the hypocrite!

    Cameron says he's 'happy' to publish his tax return to show he's paying his fair share

    Thats a surprise Joe, coming from one of the Tory rags. It must be bad.

    1. “Lobbying is the next big scandal waiting to happen… it goes to the heart of why people are so fed up with politics." Truth: After being hit by a lobbying scandal, the PM refused to name the tycoons who'd paid to schmooze him over wine and dinner at No10.

    David Cameron's IN-LAWS have links with a string of tax havens
    And the PM was branded a .“hypocrite” after boasting about clamping down on tax dodgers, insisting he wants all British firms to be .“headquartered” in the UK.

    Now Cameron's wife is at it!

    Hmm ... I daresay she's been "at it" a few times. After all ... ... she IS married!
