    It's not enough just to obey the law, Citizen Smith

    Amid the synthetic furore over Jimmy Carr's tax arrangements, is nobody else upset at the bigger event, i.e. that the Prime Minister thinks it's OK to use his position to attack the legal actions of an individual citizen? This is a clear abuse of power.

      Yes it's fine - the PM should have the power to order public flogging of anybody who does such things.

        I think we have two hypocrites at the top of their game and DC is glad to have something to take the spotlight off of Levenson and his relationship with News International.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Its a very good point. I don't like Jimmy Carr - but for a PM to jump on a band wagon is wrong.

              When has a PM, of any particular suite, never jumped on a bandwagon?

              Tossers. All of them. Including the useless media.

                He should simply have said that the government was looking at ways to put a stop to such loopholes and left it at that.

                    He's entitled to have an opinion. The fact some of his supporters are using similar schemes is to his credit to say what he thinks is right at the cost of peeing them off.
