Wouldn't be surprised if Bob had some of his billions tied up in this.

£7 billion worth of KENT property is now in offshore hands. It is conservatively (pun not intended) estimated that £450 million of tax is avoided per annum in Kent too. Bearing in mind that KCC have already cut their budget by £589 million due to austerity, I think something should be done, don't you?

Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you. PERICLES.

I know this idea is possibly far to simple for the Treasury to understand but if you earn it in the UK you pay tax on it.
It really is time to get rid of all the legal loopholes and avoidance schemes that the high earners and businesses now use. I suspect that the amount generated to go in the coffers might even be enough to bail out the NHS.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
