The mayhem caused by the leak of documents spilling the beans on tax dodging, money laundering, wealth concealment and much else is only just beginning. More and more will spill. Heads of State, crooks, fraudsters and the mega rich are all there. Including the Cameron family.
The excuses coming out of Downing Street are that the prime minister’s late father was a businessman who complied with international law and did nothing wrong. Of course it is wrong to cheat your country out of revenue and to hide behind phantom shares so that nobody knows it is you. This is a truly shocking revelation which tells the country how the fees for Eaton were earned and how the Bullington Club binges were paid for.
Public opinion will not be forgiving. Cameron is already damaged. This is another hit which makes his future very uncertain. He will do well to end the year without having to move house.
