The Deceitfulness of Riches

A Swiss bank owned by HSBC has apparently been used for tax evasion in a manner most unseemly, which almost certainly exceeds the civilised and legal robbery of the British taxpayer which is practised by the likes of Daveybloke's pater. HSBC says that it does not condone tax evasion and that it is the responsibility of clients to make sure they don't get caught. As a result of these latest allegations, the former chair of HSBC, Lord Green, is likely to face further questions about how innocent he was of the whole sordid business and what lessons are likely to be learned, etc. Lord Green is a lay preacher with the religious arm of the Corporation of London; so other, more penetrating questions from MPs, such as How do you plan to keep me out of this?, will doubtless be asked somewhere conveniently cloistered from the public's prurient eye.
