Perhaps the fact that it's legal (till the tax man decides bits of it aren't) and the labour bigwigs indulge in it means that you should stop frothing at the mouth about it?

Tell me what's good about the Pearson group lending itself $430 million, charging itself $40 million a year in interest, getting a tax break in the US for it and paying no tax here at all. HMRC said it was breath taking and pushed the boundaries of avoidance to the very limit and set about coming up with a cosy little Vodaphone type deal with them. That's what I mean about tax avoidance, not someone claiming for personal allowances and the like.

Funnily enough I'm no fan of Labour either, never voted for them and never will until the become a proper socialist party again.
