Rejected petition Strip tax avoiders of O.B.E. and other honours
More details
Strip tax avoiders of O.B.E's and other honours.
Recent news shows that some tax avoiders have avoided paying a reported £26m in taxes. This is morally wrong, avoidance also brings concerns of credibility and shame to the Honours system which should be reserved for respected, law abiding, moral respecting, in the public eye role models.
The crack down on people with benefits cannot even begin to be justified when people in the public eye with royal accolades are dodging paying their fare share of tax.
