How many Western heads of state, other government officials and corporate ones hide their wealth offshore, free from taxes – while demanding ordinary people pay theirs? In October 2014, Tory Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne twittered “(t)ax evasion is not just illegal it’s immoral. People evading tax should be treated same as common thieves.”
How he’s handling his boss’ corruption isn’t known. Others want him out. Former London Mayor Ken Livingston demanded he step down, calling him the “most hypocritical prime minister of my lifetime,” his administration “the most damaging” to Britain’s least advantage.
“Recent events have exposed just how dangerous and corrupt this current UK government is…Their own colleagues (turned) against them on their continuing mistreatment of the vulnerable in UK society while handing out breaks to the better off. Our current Prime Minister and Chancellor are not fit for office.”
“Continued cuts to infrastructure, the NHS and the biggest sale of public assets to private investors since records began have brought the UK to tipping point. Repeated falsehoods covering the real agenda of this current cabinet have now been exposed, and the people of the UK are sick of the lies, the corruption and the dismantling of the welfare state as an ideological exercise for political and financial interests.”
