thplinth Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) 38 minutes ago, Jersey Jim said: Make that £106 Billion Surprised it is that little. The is the UK model for attracting rich people's money who don't want it to be visible for whatever reason. The Swiss model was to have strict banking secrecy laws. The UK model is to have off shore tax havens dotted around the world (which they pretend they can't control) and Trusts. Fucking trusts... it is a joke really. The laugh is the UK vigorously helped attack the Swiss model forcing them to open up their banks whilst doing fuck all to change the UK model. Because it was really just a way to attack the competition (the City v the Swiss banks). Britain via the City is up to its eyeballs in all of this, we are a massive enabler of it.

Malcolm Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 What a fantastic history of entrepreneurship and wealth creation we have. Loved my time working in the City, still enjoy meetings there now.

Not sure the pr on this one looks too good though. Maybe if they create d some legal routes to apply here it would be a start! And maybe if there was a system that made sure each country played a fair role.

I realised it didn't make much sense after reading it back, but didn't bother ammending/deleting. I was trying to be a bit cheeky, by implying Malcolm was the type of person you describe - he just wasn't aware of it. In reality i'm sure he's lovely. Apologies Malcolm!
