-Talbot- //which others might reasonably consider to influence his or her actions or words as a Member of Parliament. //
I didn't see anyone jumping up and down about any of this in 2001, when David Cameron first entered parliament. Did you? Or you, Mikey? I'm assuming that he, along with everyone else in the House who had similar arrangements never for a moment considered that it would influence his or her actions or words as a Member of Parliament. It's a complete nonsense.

'No government has done more than this one to crack down on tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance.' (Cameron quote 2015)

As we all know, tax avoidance is not in itself illegal but, in the quote above, Cameron himself combines that with some forms of tax evasion which should be. It seems to me that putting one’s money into a fund upon which no tax will be charged is pretty “aggressive”…ie “Keep away, you genuine taxpayers; there’s nothing to interest you here!”
In the recent hoo-haa, he has desperately tried to conceal the truth, not to say downright lied. I can’t remember which of his several separate “explanations” claimed he had not profited and would not profit from any offshore trust only later to admit that he had. The fact that he may have paid tax on any profits from them does not delete the claim that he never had any profits.

Naomi...the reality here is that all this info had to be dragged out of Dave, bit by bit. Whether he has done anything wrong is besides the point. If he had come across with the truth on the first day, this would all have been put to bed long before now.
Dave is beginning to lose the plot....he presided over a shambles of a Budget and now this. No wonder he wants to retire soon.

"Whether he has done anything wrong is besides the point."
really !?
so why should he have to justify not doing anything wrong ?
and lets be clear, if this were a lying bore politician, sorry clown then they would have fessed up to doing nothing wrong immediately i suppose..what alternative universe do you live in ?

Mr Cameron replied: "The two things I'm responsible for are my own financial affairs and for the tax system of the United Kingdom. In terms of my own financial affairs, I own no shares, I have a salary as Prime Minister and I have some savings which I get some interest from and I have a house which we used to live in, which we now let out while we're living in Downing Street. And that's all I have. I have no shares, no offshore trusts, no offshore funds, nothing like that. And so that I think is a very clear description."
Errr, oh yes, errr, there was that other thing that errr..............
THAT'S the problem. Not the arrangement, the money, the location, just the errr, hope that it'll all go away.
Quite childishly naive at best with a hint of arrogance and entitlement.
Looking forward to the Gideon report now.
