If the best you can say is "I've never been arrested for anything..."

In other words exactly the same arrangement as the owners of every major UK newspaper so no, don't expect it to appear on the front pages any time soon.

George Osborne under pressure to publish tax returns | Politics | The Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/news/2016/ap ... ax-returnsEDIT - I see that story's been updated... So are we to assume that this new law (?) will focus on the BS that is the difference between avoidance and evasion? Cos in those terms it's actually 'avoidance' that has prompted all this, and not the 'evasion' that Cameron now wants to stamp out. If so, all he's doing is spinning the public even way beyond what's happened since Monday. ... What’s in David Cameron’s tax returns: a few strokes of luck but no shady shenanigans | Politics | The Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/politics/201 ... n-analysisNo shady shenanigans? That's falsely filling out a tax return no matter how you look at it. Mind you, when mummy's dishing out £200k that just happens to have avoided inheritance tax, that's probably to be expected

Entering government should be the new taking in religious orders. All your property us sieges by the state, you renounce all claims to inherit have and live in a monastery for the rest of yoy'd life.

Unfortunately, the people who advise on such things know more about how the system works than those who created it or those who work within it.
