“Murphy was still parroting … that limited liability is privilege granted by society.” More accurately, it’s a privilege granted by the law of the land.

He’s back on his war footing again:
“we have to impose our will … on those tax havens” (wrt collecting data).
Forgive this sounding personal, bu I do find his tone quite pompous / nauseous.
And far too decent / weak a person on the other side; he pretty much had a free rein to say what he wanted.

I think the likes of Baxter Basics MP or even Rocco Siffredi might need to sneak in a reference to ‘The Triumph of the Will’ on TRUK- he is so stupid I think the historical reference would escape him….

murphy confuses hiding information from your competitor with hiding from the tax man – the second is not happening. now if murphaloon wants to call himself a crony capitalist for sticking up for the rights of a samsung vis a vis an apple, he should go ahead and say it.
he believes all that information should be laid out there for everyone to see. i see, lets investigate if murphy’s child’s husband is an alcoholic,and if not, insinuate it anyway and then he might understand why somethings should be left private

Sorry, I’ve an appointment to go and watch some paint drying.
I heard it live while in the shower.
Much of his spiel was accusing beneficial owners of businesses hiding behind nominees as corporate fraudsters and this was indefensible.
I liked the bit when he felt compelled to let the public know that as well as being involved in tax, he was also a “professor of political economy” .
To be fair, the woman in opposition to him wheeled on to defend the position of such arrangements was pretty uninspired.

Likely why they picked her.
It was on the BBC after all. The only surprise would be if the lefty position didn’t get three supporters to the sane side’s one spokesman.
Murphy was still parroting from a 2012 article (un-referenced) in the Economist that limited liability is privilege granted by society.

This is the same BBC that is a ‘bastion of neoliberalism’ according to the Murph – to call him insane is being mild!
