My sons think this is very funny:
Who is the grey haired guy in the second row with a bald patch that he'd rather deny was there?
You guessed right.

My husband still has thick curly hair, not fair, I have passed on male pattern baldness to my son, but I think he looks like Inspector Montalbano. Other son hanging on to some hair. Looks good when cut really short. More virility so I am told!
Ian Paisley?
I’ve got some cream for that!
possibly taking transparency too far…
Looks like a belligerent and troublesome accountant to me.

Indeed!
You mean you actually had to listen to Cameron close up? Such service to the country!
Your teeth must have been gritted somewhat?
If the Tories ask for advice – and they did – I provide it
…..and then ignore it?
Interesting ‘tonsur’ Richard revealing your spiritual, monastic leanings.
More amusing is the impression of Cameron teetering on the edge of the lake-perhaps you could have surreptitiously helped him loose his balance!
Is the location secret? – part of your infiltration of the Mont Pelerin Society!
Location was Lough Erne at the G8 Summit in 2013
Could be worse! It could be a yellow mophead!
The hirsute fellow in pink next to you doesn’t help.
But the serious point is that Cameron had an easy opportunity to focus the world’s media on tax issues by calling on you to ask a question. He missed that opportunity. Perhaps more a failure of his team than him, but yet again another missed opportunity to do something about the problem.
And while I’m here. Your post about Peston (http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2016/04/07/fisking-robert-peston-on-tax-avoidance/) reminds me of the argument I had with Bob Geldof at the London Summit in 2009 about the value of blogging. I asked him: “Who knows more about tax avoidance issues? Richard Murphy or Robert Peston (who was broadcasting next to us at the time)?”. I think you’ve answered that one again.

Indeed! That fellow in the pink had a lot to answer for
Hope you’re well
