Austerity for who?

We continue to hear how austerity is going to get worse in the coming years for the average citizen of this country. Benefits are going to be cut for the poorest in our society, the middle classes are being asked to give up their child benefits earlier if there is someone in the household who earns more than £50,000 a year, and I'm quite sure that there are certain families in that wage bracket and above who might very well agree. Yet the biggest problem facing HMRC is what is becoming known as The Monaco Problem. That is the people who claim to be British citizens yet live and run businesses from this principality that the HMRC say is costing the exchequer  £1 billion annually in lost revenue.The people in authority say that they are going to put an end to this. These people are business people and well known celebrates in the music industry, Formular one racing, many of these people are donors to the Conservative and Labour Parties. So no matter how much the HMRC say that they are going to pursue these people, with the majority of them  drinking and urinating in the same cup as many of our political elite. So no matter what Cameron and Osborne say  these people will not be brought to book to pay their share of income tax that the HMRC say they are avoiding.  Its never going to happen. So people of Britain keep tightening your belts because you are going to be the ones to suffer for years to come whilst these others sun themselves in Monaco.One has to ask where is Tony Blair these days, and how long before other prominant members of this Parliament end up living in Monaco. Of course it will be purely  for the weather.
