Special Report: How oil majors shift billions in profits to island tax havens

Bermuda and the Bahamas aren’t exactly big players in the oil-and-gas world. They don’t produce any of the fuels at all. Yet the islands are deep wells of profit for European oil giant Royal Dutch Shell Plc.

Many in government /authority do their utmost to avoid paying tax, so it's no surprise when they choose not to pursue such companies or legislate against the practice.

Meanwhile in other news BP recorded it's highest annual profit in eight years - £9.5bn in 2021.
Kerching!

Apologists on BBC say thats a good thing beacsue they had losses last year.

Absoulte joke of a news station.

Back on topic. The PM is rearaanging the deckchairs on the tiganic so all the people who are fined for the parties are no longer ministers when they are served. Apart from him naturally.

Mogg off to do something Brexity in a new job?

Not against that. I think it's only right that those who so warmly advocated for Brexit should be in positions of responsibility now and either deliver on their promises or be held accountable for their failures. Mogg has been in the House for a dozen years and managed to float around doing procedural work on Committees and has avoided a ministerial portfolio in Cabinet under Johnson. Both Brexit Opportunities and Government Efficiency sound like things that could go breasts heavenward, so I'm not sure how enthusiastically he'll have wanted this 'promotion'.

Vice admiral of the virgin Islands so he gets to count his tax avoidance money.

With Moggsy going to be Brexit opportunities minister he will surely lead by example and re domicile his investment fund back from Ireland to the UK after having moved it once the uk voted for Brexit…. he also definately promised cheaper shoes on newsnight once brexit was done

Just watched a guy on TV saying there is no windfall - if you go back over several years and average it out they just about break even........ do people think everyone is fucking stupid?

In my working lifetime I’ve worked many times on consultancy assignment in Central Government. Senior staff are like football managers. Many are inept, or inappropriately appointed (see Peter Principle), the majority are happy to climb the pole knowing that the safety net is strong.
Why like football managers? Well they never fail, they get moved on/ out and reappear in another guise.
Watch this space for the reappearance of Hand onCock in near future for another working example.

The reality is it costs a small fortune to make any of these wankers redundant and they are impossible to sack and virtually immune from the disciplinary action that a normal numpty would face. The value of their pensions and add on benefits is eye watering.

As I age I think more and more that a full on revolution would not necessarily be a bad thing.
