There is a criminal inquiry in Munich and a £ 470 million lawsuit in New York regarding alleged bribery with more twists and
turns than the Monaco circuit.
Charges involve claims that a £ 27.5 million inducement was paid to a top executive of a State owned German Bank to ensure it
sold it`controlling stake in F1 to CVC Capital who had agreed to retain Ecclestone.
The cash came from Ecclestone allegedly and depending on the outcome of the criminal inquiry could end Ecclestone`s 40
year control of F1......no comment....yet.... - Keith Sansum1

Treasury to crack down on UK's offshore tax havens
Channel Islands and Isle of Man will be among those ordered to reveal names behind hidden accounts
"Radical plans to force the UK's tax havens to reveal the names behind hidden companies, account holders and trusts have been drawn up by the Treasury.
The news has delighted tax justice campaigners, who predict that the move, which is expected to be unveiled in the chancellor's autumn statement and come into force in 2014, will have major consequences for those trying to hide their money offshore.
A leaked document reveals that the UK plans to impose its own version of the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (Fatca) on the crown dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man, as well as its overseas territories, such as the Cayman Islands..."

It all sounds wonderful. I shall have to go into training for the coming 'back-flips' and 'cartwheeling'...there could be joy to come.Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - 25 November 2012 11:13203124The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) has recommended a 1.85% increase in MPs' pension contributions.
MPs retire on an average pension of £21,364, which is five times more than health service workers.
MPs' pay could climb by 40 per cent to £92,000 under pensions review.
Funding the parliamentary scheme currently costs 32.4 per cent of the payroll, and two-thirds of that bill - £8.5 million per year -is footed by the taxpayer.
The Independent.
--------------------------------------------------------------
But which Tax Payer is footing the Bill?
Miners receive an average of £9,000
The MPS has no funds to ensure a rise until 2015 at least, but the Government have taken millions from our reserve funds, the trustees are remunerated by the Government, surely that is a conflict of interest? The trustees are now on £16,250 for four meetings per year, there are 20 trustees in both schemes with only 4 needing to attend these meetings, and the others are still paid.

Lord Truscott Approves Pension Robbery
http://www.minersadvice.co.uk/pensiontheft.htm
We shouldn't be surprised when the great and powerful do the dirty on the poor and working class, but it still hits hard when you see blatant injustice done. Lord Truscott has been looking at the case presented by the Miners Pension trustees, the Coal Community Campaign, Mick Westwood and the Cannock Chase Miners and many others, for a renegotiation of the return the government take from the miner's pensions.
The 'surplus' share-out, the profits accrued by the fund now stand at £8billion. It was never envisaged that either the NCB or its subsequent government guarantors would ever be allowed to cream off such profits from the miner's pension investments. This was supposed to be their contribution into the fund, instead not only have they not invested their share, they now demand and take 50% of the profits accrued by our shares investment. Few believed the Government would be so bare faced as to actually allow the theft to carry on, and on such a scale. We expected that there would be a re-juggling and while they would still keep fortunes, some of the ill-gotten gains would be ploughed back into our pensions, which is where they were supposed to go in the first place. The noble lord after due consideration of all the money involved, the needs of the pensioners and the justice of the deal, now reaches the conclusion that 'the taxpayer' shouldn't be expected to stand 'the loss'. Erm... excuse us, 'the taxpayer'?
Not one penny piece of this money came from 'the taxpayer' other than ourselves, it was never intended that our fund be used to offset the tax burden of the population at large, who never contributed into it.

This is not just a Tory Bash, Labour are just as guilty, they made promise's that have never been kept.

but a very good readALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 26 November 2012 19:56203249Gary , Steve Manion & I supported the Alliance [Coalfield Community Campaign]case to stop the last government raiding the Miners Pension scheme.

- 28 November 2012 11:07203476Actually I am not exactly uncritical of the government either, particularly on economic policy. So Keith's point is, well, pointless.
