We'd be in exactly the same place with regard to tax avoidance if Labour were in power.
Labour took nearly £400k from PwC last year, despite PwC widely being recognised in the finance industry as one of the most aggressive tax avoiding firms in the world that consistently pushes the boundaries of legality. The hypocrisy is hysterical. If you voted Labour you are buying into exactly the same practices you are condemning. Even old Ed Miliband amended his late father's will to dodge inheritance tax.
If anyone thinks this is a Tory/Cameron problem, then they have missed the point on a rather grand scale (although to be fair that does seem to be this thread's raison d'être).
Ratty-
Blairites only?
Or are the Corbynites at it too?I've always had the impression Bliar destroyed proper Labour.

Claiming the Tories/Cameron are a problem is very different from claiming they are the problem. I'm not sure many people have said the latter, but everyone seems to agree on the former (even the comments section of the FT!).
Everyone knows other people do these things as well, but other people do not hold a majority in parliament.
In any case, you seem to be making a claim to knowledge above and beyond everyone else in this thread (who have "missed the point on a rather grand scale"), so please do enlighten.

Straw man eh? This is not about general tax avoidance.
Its about Cameron's tax avoidance and his mealy-mouthed attempts to justify it.

Devils advocate.
Better the devil you know?
ie. Where would we be now if Labour had got in?
