What were the British Virgin Islands called before Richard Branson bought them? And to the direct rule of whom are they to be subjected? Michelle Mone, whose house has been raided in connection with PPE fraud? Rishi Sunak, whose Green Card was apparently compatible with being a Member of Parliament and a Minister of the Crown?
Is that also the view of the American authorities? Was being a Member of Parliament and a Minister of the Crown compatible with holding a Green Card? Sunak ought to be asked about that when next he sought to enter the United States.
All tax havens under British jurisdiction should be closed by an Act of Parliament that declared independent any British Overseas Territory or any Crown Dependency that had not complied within three months.
They won't ask Sunak those questions but they should.
ReplyDeleteThey probably won't, but we never know our luck.
