    That sounds very worrying and unsettling Busy.   Unreasonable too.  I hope you can get it all sorted out.

    Rich people have phalanxes of lawyers and advisors who earn fat fees to keep their clients' money safe and where the tax man can't get it.   Just look at people like Philip Greene who have funds stashed in Monaco in their wife's name and then raid their ex employees' pension funds with impunity.  I'd far rather the press went after toe-rags like him who do real harm instead of witch hunts against easier targets.

    I expect decent, if not great, investigative journalism of the British press and the Beeb but this tax haven stuff has been handed them on a plate with no work involved except reading it.  They should be concentrating on exposing serious tax evasion and campaigning to change laws so they work fairly.

    Looking forward to pics Liri.
