The Spider’s Web. Britain’s Second Empire. Corrupting the Global Economy. The British Elites’ Network of Tax Havens

The Spider’s Web: Britain’s Second Empire” documents how British elites created a network of tax havens after World War II and the lengths they take today to preserve it – exemplified in a chilling scene where a Jersey police officer harasses and interrupts the filmmakers’ interview with a tax haven whistleblower. Based on Nick Shaxson’s best-selling book Treasure Islands: The Men Who Stole the World, the film delivers a sobering account of Britain’s role in corrupting the global economy.

Tax Justice Network’s John Christensen, who co-produced The Spider’s Web, traces his interest in the subject back to the late-1970s when he and various colleagues started to look at London’s role as a global tax haven:

We had no doubt that the City of London was a major player in the process of looting poorer countries of their wealth and in protecting Britain’s secrecy jurisdiction satellites from political attempts – at the United Nations, for example – to rectify the policy and regulatory flaws that enabled capital flight and tax dodging on such an immense scale.” (read more here)

Just watched this and it's astonishing. Covers the whole lot, special status of City of London, offshore British territories, the revolving door between government/civil service and the big financial firms, PFI, even the HMRC being owned by an offshore company!

For those that scoff when talk of deep state, establishment, power behind the curtain are mentioned, watch this. This is conspiracy reality, not theory.

People will pay some level of taxation. Raise it high enough and they will try to hide it. Story as old as time. Or at least as old as taxes.

I agree that this thread is nothing new

You didn't watch it, did you.

Though that goes without saying. Anything with tax in a sentence and your knee jerk reaction can't be stopped.

I cannot see how the rich hiding money elsewhere being anything different from what has happened for millennia, the rich are always hoarding stuff away, and I cannot see anyway of this being something that can be tackled to the good of all in Britain. It cannot be addressed and there is not much point worrying about it.

No need. I'm familiar with the Brain Drain that has happened to countries that have raised levels of taxation too high. People either move their money or move their bodies.

Why do you think Texas is such a haven for so many companies throughout the US? The 100 degree days for several months a year?

It's about who set them up, how and why. What they are used for, not all about tax evasion, drug money, arms running proceeds, all sorts of illegal money washed through them.

It's about the involvement of the British Government and the establishment in doing this whilst telling the world that they will crack down on dirty money and tax evasion. The figures are in tens of trillions. It's not all about the odd wealthy bloke trying to avoid tax, many of those sorts wouldn't get through the door. It's a very select club.

Texas ..if you can survive the heat and humidity..would be heavenly. CA has the best weather in the world but the tax rates are idiotic.
Houses are cheap too.

It is an amazing network they set up. Very elite level. That kind of wealth is unprosecutable.

the government is the united kingdom, as is the united states. should at least try to make the distinction even if You don't know what the difference is. britain is not equal to the united kingdom, nor is the united states equal to america.
