Yes Dave, it was ‘not a good week’

The Panama Papers leak revealed that Ian Cameron, the Prime Minister’s father, owned an offshore based business in which David Cameron owned shares. The PM’s involvement is not illegal, but it’s hypocritical.

On the third of April, German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung published 2.6 terabytes of encrypted internal documents from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca. This revealed how the rich avoid paying tax. Listed in the documents was Ian Cameron, the father of our current Prime Minister and owner of Blairmore Holdings Inc – an offshore investment fund.
