The latest edition of the ‘Pandora Papers’ has been revealed, with terabytes of data concerning the rich, both famous and infamous. I read for example that Tony Blair quite legally managed to save £0.3 million in property taxes by buying a £6.5million office through a British Virgin Isles company. However, it sorta makes me wonder how much of this loot was made through his post Gulf War II speaking tours, many of which were organised through and by US Embassies/Chambers of Commerce. 😉
Even the Queen gets involved in offshore deals. However I suspect that this story will run and run for a few weeks yet for other reasons. Quite a number of Tory donors seem to use off-shore tax havens to avoid paying the UK taxes that the rest of us have to fork out, and there may be some interesting press squeaks as their names are revealed .
