Exactly, why is Cameron's holding offshore stuff? Now he's dead and Cameron has picked up his assets, no doubt having avoided inheritance tax, is he holding these now?
Why do normal people pay these taxes yet these guys do not?

Re: Cameron Sr & Blairmore holdings use of the Panama firm.
All of this is a perfectly legal tax avoidance scheme for the rich.
The company, legitimately, never paid a penny in UK taxes because it was run by various Bahama Islanders & decision making was done in Switzerland at a ski resort.
The Guardian article suggests there is evidence that the decisions & meetings were held in the UK - if that is true then Cameron Sr. illegally evaded millions in UK taxes.
According to the Guardian, David Cameron has answered these claims by stating: 'This is family business'.
Many will recognise this classic rejoinder from the Godfather movies.
Now we are told the firm is being run from Ireland, where Google and Facebook were working the, perfectly legal, 'Dutch Irish Sandwich' tax avoidance scheme - that David Cameron rightly criticised and both tech firms apologised and paid up.
So once again this is all perfectly legal.
Perhaps a bit hypocrital given Cameron's 'tough' stance on tax avoidance and trying to put the blame on comedian Jimmy Carr.
Of course, as before, if decisons were still being made in the UK, then the company would owe many millions in UK taxes and fines for evasion - but no-one is suggesting that.
Jimmy obviously should have used the Cameron Family firm.
The, probably perfectly legal, tax avoidance scheme for the super rich is called Blairmore Holdings.
It is named after the ancestral Cameron family estate which recieves tons of money from Europe simply for the amount of land it contains.
All perfectly legal, a sort of welfare for the gentry.
If this all paints a picture of corrupt toffee nosed twits
spouting lies about the poor while filling their offshore coffers then...
shurely shome mistake.
David Cameron is fully expected to give back the millions he inherited from all these decades of tax avoidance - cough or not.
