A Fortune Made in Haven

Let me make it clear, Buddhist Pizza does not snigger, neither does he indulge in any of the childish, mean minded, low spirited, delights of schadenfreude. However, the muesli was spread explosively around the breakfast table this morning at the Grauniad's headline Cameron family fortune made in tax havens.

To be caught with one's trousers down is one thing, to be caught displaying so little is another.  A fortune of £2.74 million is hardly worth getting out of bed for these days,  and a bequest of £300,000? Well really, what would Gideon say?

It could be of course that the Old Pater, Ian of that ilk, had a very shrewd tax wallah, heaven forfend.
I wonder if we could find out who he works for.

I did enjoy the reference to the ancestral pile, Blairmore (I kid you not) sadly  believed to be in the family no more.

(Stop sniggering man! It's very unbecoming... Ed)
