I like the summary of tonight's Panorama which says
Panorama goes undercover to investigate corporate service providers - the people and companies who sell corporate anonymity and access to offshore tax havens.
Undercover reporters discover a world that specialises in secrecy, sells services which bend and breach UK law, is happy to help tax dodgers and even turns a blind eye to crime.
OK, the Tax Justice Network and I have been saying that for years. But it's good to see it being shared, nonetheless.

Indeed – pity about the dire, dire, repulsive even, Panorama programme itself. Important truths smothered under a barrage of daft melodramatic editing and effects that rendered the story incomprehensible. Switched off after twenty minutes. The quality of BBC News really is a major national problem, and the worst of it is its very misplaced, very very high self-regard. Now it has a D-G from the News stable, who I suppose must think this adolescent computer-game style just what a news programme should be.
I have not seen the programme as yet
Oh, yes, I agree. They waste so much valuable air time on this trivia – it always leaves you dissatisfied.
That was sour of me. Having viewed it, I think it was fine.
Generous of you Carol! For myself, I stand by my critique of presentation (as distinct from content) and BBC News. On reflection, I feel I was, if anything, drawing it mild. Grumpy old man, no doubt.
