Exactly.  The professional politician currently holding the most prestigious position in British government should be held to a much stricter standard of ethics.  The guy went to Eton and Oxford, and was handed early career favors by his father and godfather--a poster child for good ol&#x27;boy networking.<p>The entertainer that makes his living selling laughter and levity can make more mistakes--<i>many</i> more--before triggering my disdain.  I am simply far more willing to be critical of the use of tax loopholes by the class that creates them, than by anyone else using them as part of an effort to crash the gates of that class.<p>Carr knew it was dodgy, had to rationalize it to himself, and apologized.  Still completely legal.  Cameron&#x27;s dad blithely accepted it as the right of his class, and never even felt the need to justify it to anyone.  Still completely legal.  But it was the <i>same darned thing</i>, sheltering accounts in the channel islands.  It&#x27;s just that British society <i>expects</i> upper-class twits to crap on the public good, and it expects everyone who starts lower and moves up a rank in income to always pay a little bit back to the ones left behind.
