A slimy Limey confesses?

[Legion Troll]

British Prime Minister David Cameron's late father, Ian, was among tens of thousands of people named in leaked documents from Panama law firm Mossack Fonseca which showed how the world's rich and powerful stash their wealth.

In a statement on Tuesday, a spokesman for Cameron said that the prime minister, his wife and their children did not benefit from any offshore funds.

On Wednesday, a spokesman for Cameron said: "There are no offshore funds or trusts which the prime minister, Mrs Cameron or their children will benefit from in future."

Cameron acknowledged in a TV interview on Thursday that he had a stake in his late father's offshore trust, which was revealed in the "Panama Papers" leak from a law firm.

Cameron told ITV News that he had owned shares in the Panamanian trust, Blairmore, but had sold them in 2010, before becoming prime minister.

He's a hypocrite. It's a job requirement.

If it's wearing a suit and tie- don't trust it. Pretty basic backstreet knowledge.


EDIT; The current spin is to feel sorry for the asshole because his tax-cheating dad died and he had to clean up his act to morph from being a tax-cheating member of parliament to an anti-tax cheating prime minister. This blustering, bombing, Bullingdon bastard squats on his vast wealth and is laughing still.
He ain't in the same league as billionaire US hypocrites- they won't let him in- but I'd rather give a life-preserver to an honest Syrian refugee than to the Cameron cockroach.

Cameron is facing mounting pressure to be fully transparent about his previous finances after finally admitting he benefited from a Panama-based offshore company set up by his late father.

After three days of stalling and four partial statements issued by Downing Street, on Thursday night the prime minister confessed that he owned shares in a tax haven fund, which he sold for £31,500 just before he became prime minister in 2010.

Opposition parties said the admission had failed to draw a line under the matter and demanded full disclosure on what other financial arrangements Cameron benefited from as an MP and leader of the opposition.

Owen Smith, the shadow work and pensions secretary, said Cameron still had questions to answer.

“Why didn’t he register his interest in this offshore [fund] back in 2005 when he first became an MP?” he said on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. “He [Cameron] says he’s going to publish his tax return. I think he will need to go further and be clear about what his investments have been in the past.”

Labour, the Scottish National party and the Greens are demanding that Cameron make a statement in the Commons about his finances.
