If anybody wants to read the article, or has anything to say about "The Pandora Papers", then knock yourself out:

And no, I am not surprised. If they weren't using the tax havens etc, then who would be?

No surprise at all, I saw it hit the air yesterday

Money comes to money, so they say. It certainly seems to do so, by hook or by crook.
Mostly by crooks

Not at all surprised. It’s ever thus. Unfortunately I will never be rich enough to be on any list like that!!

Typical of that Blair creature and his wife to dodge paying £300 K on their £6.5million house and others like them in the know......but he's done nothing unlawful but morally he is guilty.

I suspect that this is just another damp squib. Pity!

I have a comment now.
In a similar position would you not do the same or would you give the 300K to charity?
As I understand they bought the company that owned the property. That was the only way they could get the sale according to Sky News and they.also have to pay CGT so not as clear cut as stated.
