I agree it would be impossible to legislate for all potential future tax avoidance schemes, so make it simple. A law which makes it illegal to not pay full corporation tax on profits made in the UK.

No but when Switzerland imposed restrictions on immigration (in 2014 I believe) they were cut from the programme. If we leave the same thing will happen 100%.

For me big business is much clearer to see committing tax avoidance than individuals and I think the solution is easier to attain. A plan today announced by the European Commission (it was in the pipe works pre-Panama papers) would allow us to publicly see where the biggest multinationals are...

But they can't chose where the market is for them to sell their product. On anything they sell in this country, they should pay tax on here, under the laws which we set. Operating or basing themselves abroad should not change that or allow them to dilute it one bit.

I think he has said what most of us want to say.

Off the back of a week in Madrid and Valencia a few days ago, I've just booked two nights in Barcelona in 10 days. Flights and Hotel for £110, not bad.

Yeh I understand, I used it as cheap shot to attack the current government. My trust (or lack) of this layer of government has no impact really, I will always vote remain.

Yes, makes little difference.

Of course, but every non-EU exchange I met (bar one American girl who had this crazy scholarship) could only come as they had wealthy parents. Foreign students in the UK have to pay even higher tuition fees than us, then of course there are the high costs of living and travel etc. Erasmus averts...

Sure there's no appetite (I'm not sure it's that popular on the continent anymore) and even as a Europhile I have no want for further integration yet or anything like a super state. A lot of unfounded claims on both sides of what we will or won't lose post Brexit, but something we definitely...

Any EU citizen is currently allowed to freely move around, the people in Calais are non-EU citizens and so don't have the same right. Leaving would mean EU citizens would no longer have the freedom to move here.

It's not a lack of confidence, it's a lack of nationalism.

Do you want to see a breakdown of society? Who and how are we going to pay for schools, hospitals, policing etc. Tax is an absolute necessity, and allowing (rich) people to circumvent the system makes a mockery of it. Time to go Dave.

The loop holes have to be closed or else this practice will continue but I absolutely blame the individuals. What kind of selfish, greedy bastard must you be if you deliberately go out of your way to hide your millions or billions knowing by do so you're screwing over people with nothing/ very...

Bernie is 209 delegates behind. After Wyoming that'll be under 200. Going into New York (247 D) he basically can't afford to lose. A draw would be fine but a win of any kind would be incredible. Then we have Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island (384 D). All winnable so...

Bernie is coming.

Yeh I agree the EU should have done more to ensure these countries adopted more tolerant views when they first joined but there are reasons this process was hurried; namely fear of Russian expansionism which I think now is justified and creating a stable neighborhood. And yes it has nothing to...

Boris on our progressive attitudes on gay equality "did those rights, come from the EU? Or did it come from people campaigning in our courts, our parliament? "It was us, the British people, that created that environment of happiness and contentment for LGBT people and it is absolutely vital we...

I can't see how what he said on there is that at all really.
