What's worse is people like Jimmy Carr mocking this as Cameron being caught out but the difference is that Carr didn't pay a bunch of tax whereas it seems Cameron has paid every bit of tax that the law intends. Again though, people don't understand that setting up a company to avoid tax which loans to back to you is not the same as investing in offshore companies but then paying tax when you take the money out. Like pretty much most pension funds.

Well hypocrisy has always been the trendy lefty stock in trade and there's plenty of idiots out there who buy into it because it's what they want to hear and doesn't require any effort analysing facts.
