Well is that drug money, weapons or prostitution? I think not. And they can prove it. Apple is not an EU company or tax payer, which is what I was talking about. Thanks btw for confirming that we are the worst offenders through our dependencies. Cheers to Astute. Going to get pissed in my...

That is how things start... maybe they will block everything, maybe not. A start has been made. A long way to go.. and maybe it will falter out. There is a lot of discussion about the Paradise Papers and the Panama Papers. We’re being taken for a ride and now it’s out in the open. I’m for trying...

I could correct you here, but I have things to do today..

Now that is bollocks. I had a Jersey company and I had a Jersey based pension. The democratic rights you are referring to are the rights to money laundering, tax dodging, dirty money from weapon sales etc.. These „rights“ have been seriously curtailed. The Court of Jersey can no longer refuse...

Most of the time I end up correcting things. Such as Juncker is not the president of Europe. That is not saying that everything about Brexit is bad, just that people are believing some bs put out by the gutter press. I do think that Brexit is an unnecessary action and has a high risk factor...

I said that Juncker said that in his speech about his policy agenda. That is a lot different to saying everyone is going to go along with that. At least these things are being talked about. I am for reform, however difficult and however long it takes. Quitting won’t help anyone. If anything it...

Most people? I did my Institute of Bankers Exams, which included Finance of Foreign Trade and Basic Accountancy, I also did my A levels which included Economics and Economic Geography. I run 2 businesses in Germany and have invested in various things including shares and rent-to-buy properties...

I haven’t said the EU is irrelevant to Britain. I have pointed out that it gets blamed for everything by some people and the gutter press. You may say nothing will happen. You may be right, but unlike you, I believe we should at least have a go at creating a just system. The U.K. has influence...

You accused me recently of not posting links. I post a link showing the UK is the worst offender if you count it’s dependencies. Which you deny. Everything in the gutter press and from wealthy right wingers is directed at the EU. The EU is the easiest deflection there is. No one denies what...

You won’t admit you are biased. You claim Juncker is president of Europe and wants to be chancellor of Europe ( Chancellor in the sense of the German meaning) ). You also say Juncker should be arrested because the country where he was PM is full of tax dodgers money. You claim that the EU...

I worked for a bank.

Ok, try this: The UK is the most important player in tax havens The Tax Justice Network’s new Financial Secrecy Index shows global financial secrecy remains alive and well. In November, the Tax Justice Network (TJN) published the biggest ever survey of global financial secrecy. An estimated...

No .. London is now the global money-laundering centre for the drug trade, says crime expert Gomorrah author Roberto Saviano says 'the British treat it as not their problem' James Hanning, David Connett Saturday 4 July 2015

Recently as 2015: Labour MP David Lammy, who met Mr Saviano last week, said the UK needed to take “very seriously” his claims about its financial services’ role in the international drugs trade. Mr Lammy, who is seeking to become Mayor of London in 2016, said: “We are rightly proud of our...

Juncker is not standing again. The Eurozone needs a finance minister and a coordinated fiscal policy. Countries ubdercutting each other with tax rates is damaging economies and costing people money by higher taxes as a result of tax being paid in countries where it was not earnt.

Where have I defended Juncker‘s - alleged - tax fraud? I pointed out that we have been allowing the same thing in our dependencies and money laundering through property in London for years, and are now, along with Luxemburg and Malta trying to water down EU efforts against this sort of thing...

I was reporting a fact, not giving you a lesson. People are talking about the stock market in the U.K. as if it is the only one doing well. The implication being that Brexit is great. There is money being pumped in or has been. At the same time interest rates have been kept low. This has a...

No, but he was around when we created our tax haven. The idea of a tax haven has been around for a long time. I hope the EU stops or at least reduces the number of tax havens. Pity the U.K. is on the same side as Luxemburg and Malta on this.

You haven’t been following the news or our discussion.

We’ve had a discussion about that. Juncker is the bad guy because Luxemburg is doing the same trick as our dependences. Now that Juncker is going, he wants the EU to have an EU finance minister and a cohesive tax system without countries like Luxemburg, Malta and, non EU paradise islands...
