There has been a lot of gloating and hypocrisy splashed around following the leak of data from a Panamanian firm of fixers; a lot of it because our own dear prime monster’s late father used the firm as well of lots of dodgy dictators and money launderers.
But people with cash, the Great and the Bad alike, will always make their money disappear so that it can’t be taxed at what they see as punitive rates. Okay, a little light has been shone into their dark corners, but even as the figures of hate retreat into their dens and leave their staff to tell the world’s meeja to sod off, the fact remains that they still have their money, and they’ll just hide it somewhere else.
The Little People have a chance to rant for a while and explode with envy, then it will all be lost in the dustbin of history. Just a bump in the road for the mega-rich.
