A Panorama investigation about the owners of the Daily Telegraph, Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay ...is expected to be broadcast on Monday. The programme, fronted by journalist John Sweeney, is expected to deal with the offshore tax status of the Barclay brothers and their companies, which include the Bermuda-based entity that ultimately owns their newspapers. It will also cover allegations that the Barclays, who have built a castle on the Channel Isles tax haven of Sark, are trying to take over control of the island and its 600 inhabitants. m.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/dec/14/bbc-panorama-investigation-barclay-brothersI wonder if they got a discount for buying two knighthoods. (Now that's what I call libel)

I don't agree with what they are doing one bit but that's why they pay their accountants very good sums to find these loop holes. Maybe the government should put more effort into closing them up but no doubt they are allegedly rubbing each other up.
