Why Pick On Prime Minister?

[mahler28]

I say please leave his affairs private.

[ummmm]

Because he preached about morals when it came to tax avoidance.

Although I think he's done nothing wrong.

[Lynn_M]

Because they're lefty lunatics and they need someone to get angry with and do a bit of virtue signalling

[Cloverjo]

He's a hypocrite.

[-Talbot-]

Why Pick On Prime Minister?



Because he is a humongous hypocrite.

Fact!

[ummmm]

How is he? He declared it on his self assessment.

[johnny37]

Whatever the rights and wrongs of it he must have benefitted from his fathers offshore actiivities, even if his inheritance was held in in a blind trust until he resigns as PM.

[naomi24]

Because some try their utmost to knock him in any way they can. Disingenuous I call it!

[ummmm]

"his fathers offshore actiivities"

^^Exactly....his fathers.

[-Talbot-]

And some only knock him when he is wrong ... like he is wrong on this.

[naomi24]

-Talbot-, how is he wrong on this?

[Gromit]

Whilst tax avoidance is not illegal, it is morally wrong and the public have a right to know if the Prime Minister has benefitted from it.

Also, in the past, he has preached against tax avoidance, but it turns out he had made £31,000 from it, so there is a huge whiff of hypocrisy about his actions.

No one objects to people making money, but they should pay tax on it like the rest of us.

[-Talbot-]

Cameron has benefited from the self same things he has been preaching as morally wrong.

I would still like to know if he declared his holdings to the Standards commission

[naomi24]

Gromit, that was his father's legacy to him - and he did pay tax on the proceeds.

[ummmm]

Did anyone watch the interview with the tax lawyer on BBC news?

He explained it very well, although in a very dull tone...

[-Talbot-]

He and his wife had a £30,000 holding (that I think he never declared)

[naomi24]

-Talbot-, we went though all this yesterday. He wasn't obliged to declare it. He has done nothing wrong. This is pathetic, it really is. What would you do with your inheritance? Give it away? I think not.

[-Talbot-]

They were his shares not his fathers

[anneasquith]

Because he is the prime minister!!!!!! You know the leader of the country ?

[-Talbot-]

Speaking at the Conservative Party's spring forum in central London, Mr Cameron said: "It has not been a great week. I know that I should have handled this better, I could have handled this better.


He should have handled it better ... means he didn't handle it right ... which means he handled it wrong. (remember he lied by omission and that is what started all this)

Thank you Mr Cameron for agreeing with me.

[naomi24]

-Talbot-, he bought about £12,000 worth of shares and sold them before he became Prime Minister. So what?
