Fugitive whistleblower Edward Snowden has perfectly summed up David Cameron's attitude to the Panama Papers revelations. <\/p>\n
Yesterday, the Prime Minister wouldn't answer questions over his family's use of tax havens <\/p>\n
Mr Cameron's father, Ian, paid no UK duty for 30 years on a firm run from the Bahamas. <\/p>\n
When asked if any Cameron cash was hidden in offshore accounts, Downing St replied: Thats a private matter. <\/p>\n
But last night, Mr Snowden, who has heavily criticised the UK's push for mass government snooping on emails and browsing histories , pointed out the PM's hypocrisy. <\/p>\n
He tweeted, simply: \"Oh, now he's interested in privacy.\" <\/p>\n
Mr Cameron's father, who died in 2010, was a director of Blairmore Holdings Inc. The investment fund hired a bishop to allegedly help it avoid paying UK tax . <\/p>\n
Furious anti-tax avoidance campaigners and critics last night demanded the PM come clean about his familys riches. <\/p>\n
Labour MP Jess Phillips said: If hes not sure then he should find out and rectify it as soon as possible. While tax affairs for ordinary people are a private matter, he is a Prime Minister who has committed to stamping out tax avoidance. <\/p>\n
