I understand it can annoy I suppose BUT, for normal people who are not born into money unless they are amazingly lucky things like this + other things like whiplash money etc are the only way that people can get the required amount of money in....quick. Also, it could be a little bit of jealousy in a way, I bet nearly 99% of people would do the same if they found a little way to skim the tax man or similar. I think the public are less honest these days as the morals, or lack of filter down from Government.
George Osbourne does not need to work, if you have kids and want to make sure they have the same amount of money Osbourne was born into these methods are the only way to do it in the time available. If it was not desirable Osbourne would give all his money away to the poor and be the same as everyone else, he has not done this as far as I know. If the house prices were kept at a normal price, even in London then people would not have to duck and dive to get cash in. If you work full time and contribute to society in the proper way you should be able to buy a house, car, and a little holiday's and still have a couple of quid left over (That is the definition of a living wage in my world, one where it's possible to live?). This is not the case and everyone has to live life at 13,000 rpm just to stay in debt.
This is not political at all, I picked Osbourne because he is wealthy and a good example I think and I was just thinking of another POV to be honest.
