Richard, please stop trying to patronise me. You aren't qualified to do so.

I am well aware of the difference between tax evasion and tax avoidance, and the subject of this discussion is the latter.

If it were evasion in either case, legal action would take care of it quite nicely.

The only way to stop avoidance is to close the loopholes which make it possible, something which I would heartily applaud, as would anyone with six or more working brain cells, who was not involved in exploiting them.

Meanwhile, you have a lot of clever people legally saving themselves money, and fulminate as you may, the law cannot touch them, not even the Tory ones.

Don T.
