# it's quite clever of cameron really
publicly shame a few well known names into sorting out their tax while leaving the loopholes open so his mates can keep their low tax rates.

Requires almost zero effort from him, diverts attention elsewhere and bizarrely he looks like the good guy

And the sooner the smug bastard gets knocked off his moral perch, the better.

# I'm hoping he's walked into a trap.
By declaring it immoral, he's going to have to justify the behaviour of his friends and family (and the fact he is doing nothing to close the loophole).

It's a popular story - hopefully the Times will run with it and name and shame MPs next.

# soon as they pulled the "there are some civil servants on several hundred thousand barely paying tax" lark I knew that something was up
There's a lot of folks on under 20K a year exploiting tax loopholes, I suspect these are the real targets of all this OMG TAX brainwashing.

And yes, if I had an income of 2 million a year and I could pull only paying 100K in income tax, I'd do it.
