英伦广角 英国首相卡梅伦公布纳税信息回应“巴拿马文件”（在线收听）

After an awful Easter for the Prime Minister, he used to return of the House of Commons from recess to try to get back on the front foot. The Panama Paper’s fall-out came close to his own doors, so first an apology of sorts. 

Mister Speaker, I’ve said all of the criticisms for not responding more quickly to these issues last week. But as I’ve said, I was angry about the way my father’s memory was being traduced. I know he was a hard-working man and a wonderful dad, and I’m pride of everything he did to build a business and provide for his family. 

But all David attempts to say was that the real debate was actually about the opposition’s attitude to wealth. 

Mister Speaker, this is a government and this should be a country that believes in aspiration and wealth creation. So we should defend the right of every British citizen to make money lawfully. Aspiration and wealth creation are not somehow dirty words. They are the key engines of growth and prosperity in our country and we must always support those who want own shares and make investments to support their families.

The Labor leader himself had finally acquired his own tax return and this is exactly the sort of debate that Jeremy Corbyn wants to have. 

We’ve gone through six years, six years of crushing austerity--families lining up at food banks to feed their children, disabled people losing their benefits, elderly care cut and slashed, living standards going down. Much of this could have been avoided, if our country hadn’t been ripped off by the super rich refusing to pay their taxes. I say this to the Prime Minister, Mister Speaker, all the people in this country, simply won’t stand for this anymore. They want real justice. They want the wealthy to pay their share of tax like they pay when they work hard all the time.

So it’s all got rather heated in the Commons. 

Shouldn't the Prime Minister’s critics really just snap out of the synthetic indignation and admit that the real point is that they hate anyone who’s even got a hint of wealth in their lives? 

I still refer to him as Dodgy Dave.  

I order the honorable member to withdraw immediately from the House. 

Labor MP Dennis Skinner thrown out of the Commons for refusing to withdraw the word Dodgy. The Chancellor did this afternoon publishes his own tax summery, though only for the last fiscal year. His return showing income of just under 200,000 pounds, a little less than the PM, though he is benefiting 2,500 pounds in that year from the 50P tax ablation. The Mayor of London joined in this unprecedentedly blizzard of transparency, registering nearly one million pounds in tax in four years on 1.9 million pounds of taxable income. Some politicians concern that every MP will now be obliged to do the same. A can of worms has now been opened by Papers from Panama. It hasn’t yet been shut.
