Queen's private estate invested offshore

Paradise Papers: a special investigation | Paradise-papers | The Guardian

Reading through what's been released so far and my anger levels are rising.

The world we live in , the world we have always lived in . My anger levels are low and  why not as I do not care or sh*te unless the tax payer picks up the sh*te . Or has a real crime been commited here ........ ?

Has any crime been committed here ?.

You know what, I don't care. It's their money and they can do what they like with it.

The Queen invested abroad?

So what? Seriously, why is this at all contentious?

Jezza99

The Queen's estate is worth £500 million so £10 million is not much to get all upset about.

A non-story.

Great clickbait for the Guardian reading politics of envy merchants.

Has anyone done anything illegal? Or are they just guilty of being considerably richer than yow?

                               
Some of the socialist envy on show here is sickening.

why? - envy?


"The Paradise Papers show that about £10m ($13m) of the Queen's private money was invested offshore.

It was put into funds in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda by the Duchy of Lancaster, which provides the Queen with an income and handles investments for her £500m private estate.

There is nothing illegal in the investments and no suggestion that the Queen is avoiding tax',​

Pacifico

Yeah, it's only like 2.5% of our GDP being drained out of the economy into tax havens each year.
It's not like we have a budget deficit which is expected to be approx 2.5% of GDP in March 2018, national debt at 89% of GDP or anything and only amounts to a tax loss of twice the UK's net EU membership contribution.
So we can easily afford to ignore it and wish them all well.

Pacifico

If no tax is being avoided how did you work that one out?

EarthRod

It si quite funny though that the Guardian are making a big splash about this when their whole existence is based on tax avoidance and offshore investments..

Perhaps leftys dont do irony..
