What I find amazing is the gargantuan amount of effort that must have been put into creating the alliance of news groups and also sorting out the information shown by the link. The blowback from this will be massive, get your popcorn ready guys!

...and to think people blame immigrants, foreign aid, the public sector workers and people on benefits.

NEWSFLASH: Your politicians are corrupt as :dolphin:

: "Former Tory MPs, party donors and David Cameron’s late father among those named in huge leak of documents linked to Panama law firm".

Still, the Trump lot on here will blame this on leftyeyes somehow

You shouldn't be because your mataji's tax evasion tactics are now under scrutiny (and you'll probably get less inheritance as well :tongue:

That's what's exciting about it once the public gets slammed with these stories repeatedly all over the world we could be looking at multilateral tax avoidance measures which is the real solution to getting the corporations and super rich to pay their tax

Has anything actually been revealed yet?

Is this even worth anything? We know the rich and powerful avoid tax, we just dont have effective means to prevent them from doing so. Is knowing where they have really as groundbreaking as everyone is making out?
