After a couple days breaking, marinating, invariable blame involving Russia’s Putin—an easy target as we all know he’s a huge a huge judo bear wresting crook, but undoubtedly the most proficient one anyway—and claiming the scalp of the Icelandic PM, something soured the beef uncle invariable likes to eat while proclaiming in this time of perpetual recession that we in the UK are “all in this together” which, it seems we are certainly not, as most do not have family funds to protect the interest of in tax havens in Panama, or anywhere else for that matter:
UK named “at heart of super-rich tax-avoidance network” (thisisnocave.blogspot.co.uk).
“David Cameron has admitted for the first time he did hold shares in a controversial offshore fund set up by his late father. The Prime Minister has faced questions this week over his family’s tax affairs after details of Ian Cameron’s investment fund were reported as part of the Panama Papers leak. Mr Cameron’s admission that he owned, sold and made a profit on shares in Blairmore Holdings before he became PM has prompted calls for him to resign.”
Including a rallying cry from whistleblowing American in Russia exile Edward Snowden, who presumably knows a lot about the dirty laundry habits of the rich, powerful and everyone else regardless. But it’s not just uncle CamerTom and other politicos who’ve “trousered thousands in profits”, perhaps leading conspiracy theorists to finger football federation kingpins last seen kicking ball at SPECTRE’s private chain of the Alps HQ.
A digest that through the quirky deconstruction of latest stories aims to show that a lot of “belief” is often actually just “agenda” or “opportunity” and media “opinion” is copy to reenforce presuppositions many already have and why philosophy is useful in everyday life in defining—for and by yourself—the difference between what ancient Greeks like Plato defined as episteme (knowledge) and doxa (belief), and not just idealistic training to pack Fyffes bananas. Think a bumper bonanza of those cultural, political and just down right hypothetical you don’t really read in Latest Picks.
