pongo Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 you be certain the Guardian have been told to provide some balance by the powers that be. That's a bit tin-foil-hat TBH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryPotter Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 you be certain the Guardian have been told to provide some balance by the powers that be.That's a bit tin-foil-hat TBH. It's not that far fetched. There is a reasonable rumour that the journalists have been leaned on and that some further info that was expected to be out in the public domain by now has been held back. It's been suggested that few want to make themselves a target by publishing the further secrets of some of the nastiest and most vindictive people on the planet.

the stinking enigma Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 are you inferring that the chuckle brothers are in it up to their eyeballs too? if so, id like to state here and now i do not believe a word of it. i didnt say it and i dont even think it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notwell Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) I think the whole agenda that government drove about 'tax havens' has back fired to some degree. This Panama thing is going to be a game changer potentially for the island. And not in a bad way. Edited April 13, 2016 by notwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moghrey Mie Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 As I said the other day this should be positive for the island. And you be certain the Guardian have been told to provide some balance by the powers that be. Mr Bell is a Guardian reader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he has referred to reading the Guardian in the past. You seem to refer to this fact as indicating that Bell has some form of illness. He will only be checking on the Guardian after his daily fix of The Mail and that Tory Rag and classy newspaper The Sun. Mr Bell is well known for his love of balance. Not.

rmanx Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Tax avoidance is not immoral. It's logical and legal. And anyone would do it given the chance. And now he starts to realise... Go on....you're almost there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lxxx Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 you be certain the Guardian have been told to provide some balance by the powers that be. That's a bit tin-foil-hat TBH. Not really. The powers-that-be in this case are Guardian Media Group, who would like to deflect attention from their Cayman Island-based accounts.

You are I assume suggesting that Right Wing fanatics have a ' balanced ' view of the World and it's finances. Well that's a new angle that many will be pleased to hear.
