Off shore money, dancing and shooting in blackpropaganda

Nothing to report on the misdemeanors of elected members (of parliament, that is).

The news is full of millions of documents hacked from a tax advisory firm which shows all the details of how people with money find ways of not paying tax but having arrangements with off-shore companies. Since I am not interested in high finance - and have never been in a position to avoid paying tax I can only marvel at the ingenious schemes developed by advisers.
The inteersting thing is this - one place which is full of shell companies helping people sabe tax is the British Virgin Islands which were devastated by a hurricane this year. The people who live there just about grnd out an existence, but find it difficult to get aid because the islands are supposedly ful of money! How ironical!

And the other key news is that a favourite to win Strictly was voted off this weekend - lots of complaints from members of the public - but
a) if people did not him in the dance off they should have voted for him and his partner
b) the dance off was close but it is clear he is not happy doing ballroom - and his Viennese waltz was pretty uninspiring.
Of course, the sub-text is the issue is colour - was he voted off by the judges because he is coloured? No - but there are plenty of people who have that in the back of their minds.

The good thing is that it keeps interest in the programme high - and some of the dancing on Saturday was out of this world.

And finally - what is the world coming to when worshippers in Texas are gunned down in their church - but of course, they will be forgotten in a few days -apart from those of loved them - not heard much about Las Vegas shooting here lately. And Trump’s response - not good.
