Who Is Telling The Truth - France Or Hmrc? (Hsbc Scandal)

[barney15c]

It now seems that the French never said there was restrictions about the Swiss disc data in HSBC tax avoidance scandal being used to persue tax dodgers. In La monde newspaper a minister said that no conditions were stipulated that would stop HMRC informing Government ministers of the details in the leaked information. HMRC maintain that they could not make the information available treaty with France. Who is lying, well in my opinion it isn't the French. What do you think?

I think plenty of fibs are being told on this side of the hannel.

Of course, in some cases saying nothing at all is just as bad as fibbing

Absolutely incredible that HMRC couldn't or more acurately would't prosecute this man despite an absolute wodge of evidence, you do wonder if they will ever but anyone of any note behind bars...seems they are more interested in going for the small fish.

Get Homer back in front of the PAC to answer why this man has not been persued to the full lengths of the law. HMRC are a joke.

The Revenue are no joke, Barney. Try making an honest if stupid mistake on a tax credit form and see if Lee Evans or two hard-faced sorts turn up to grill you.

The Cameron government's dangerous liaisons with HSBC are not yet entirely an affair of state, but they already provide the material for an epic political battle three months of parliamentary elections, which made headlines and resulted, Wednesday 11 February, a parliamentary clash of extraordinary verbal abuse.

"There is something rotten in the heart of the Conservative Party, and that's it! "Yelled very Shakespearean, the leader of the Labour opposition, Ed Miliband, pointing Tory Prime Minister David Cameron amid the hubbub. You are a "Premier doubtful" ("dodgy prime minister" in the text), "surrounded by questionable donors," he has said, lighting a firecracker again: the former treasurer of the Conservatives, Lord Stanley Fink, figure as six other main contributors to the Conservative Party in the list of beneficiaries of tax schemes of HSBC-Switzerland. Green apple color benches House of Commons had not vibrated at that point long ago.

For the opposition, the scandal is no doubt that the Conservative Party has shown a guilty indulgence towards tax evasion, and the government of Mr Cameron has shown little willingness to prosecute fraudsters the list had been forwarded by France to the britanniqu administration ...

Don't trust hmrc or hsbc. Never trust a bank, any bank. There's no such thing as a GOOD bank or an HONEST bank. They're all just varying degrees of bad or corrupt.
