"What the British public has not yet done, or been given the chance to do, is to vote upon a concrete alternative to the status quo." Here...Anyone disagree with this? Only a complete fcuking idiot could, really. |

ALL his money? If true, then the man was a fool. Which he wasn't.
Don't forget that Germany is offshore, the whole of the EU is offshore, and that offshore isn't for the sole use of the seriously loaded. Which is why a significant chunk of my investments are there.

Woohoo! Now I have cash in the UK I can honestly say I hold some of my money offshore.  |

Only a complete fcuking idiot could, really. I saw a similar comment made in the Spectator. They will have to do it now but they could have saved time and asked the public what kind of membership they would like to see in the first referendum (no change, completely removal or options c or D). They will have to hold a referendum on the proposed model but what if it's rejected (by the public and/or the harridans of the EU?) |

"Why do offshore tax havens still exist?"
Because there are around 200 sovereign states in the world, virtually all of which have different interest rates, different treasury holdings, different views on debt, different takes on risk etc. Moreover since the powers that be can't seem to do much more than pay lip service to ending tax havens, then they will still be with us this time next century.

Fortunately, sovereign, independent Britain owns about 99.3% of the world's shittiest and most corrupt tax havens and could sort them out with the stroke of a pen.

Well yes - how do you tell a nation they have to start levying tax? |

That wasn't my question, it was the heading of an article, leading you through the link. |

For the same reason David Cameron hasn't. Them, their friends and all their donors keep oodles of cash in Bermuda and the Caymans and Isle of Man and so on. They don't want to.
