“The Mexican tax base is not our priority”.
Bill English declares open hostility towards Mexico.
So fuck him, and the horse he rode in on.
Not satisfied with ripping off the New Zealand taxpayer to bail out rich people. Bill English wants to help rich people rip off the Mexican taxpayers.

John Keys ‘soul brother’ in a bit of bovver.
Has anyone pointed out the possibility that this leak is only really part of the story that has selectively been let out of the bag?
And the other part that has not been revealed continues to protect mega sums hidden away by the US and other Anglo-American politicians and billionaires? Cameron’s deceased father is about the only key [pun] Western neolib figure involved with the disclosure.
Yes, Kiwiri.
Several commenters over on Zero Hedge have asked the question” Who will benefit the most from this dump of confidential client records?”
I think they are obliquely referring to the fact that the Rothschilds have recently set up a tax haven in the USA.
What better way to boost your own business than by putting the skids under one of your main competitors in the tax-haven business?

re.the soapbox image above-
contains full disclosure!
Crux is looking more likely to be the republician nominee. Given that nature solves most of its problems by evolving them, and given the world now is experiencing huge stresses and demand for change, is it then acceptable a President could not only have no understanding of evolution, but be religiously opposed to its tenets. Hasn’t the US done stupid for too long already. Fundamentalist undermine progress, since they are Orthodox conservatives, look at Syria, ISIS fundamentalism has prolonged the conflict and kept the regime in power, had the uprising ignore islam they would have over ran the regime long ago.
