The tax haven scandal must end
13 March 2009
Britain's offshore tax havens are central to worldwide tax dodging. We must clean up our financial act.
This afternoon, an international task force will invade Jersey. A party of activists from Britain, Italy, France and Ireland will land on the island and take control of St Paul's centre in the capital St Helier, holding a public meeting with local protest groups from 6.45pm. The following morning, there will be a brief tour of a number of offshore bank subsidiaries before the task force hands the island back to its inhabitants.
