New petition to pressurise our immaculate leader into keeping his promise about shutting down tax havens. Whilst it's on his mind.

"Explaining to Peston that “my dad was a man I love and miss every day”, Cameron admitted that he and his wife
had in fact invested in Ian Cameron’s offshore firm Blairmore in 1997, then sold their stake in 2010 for “something
like £30,000”. That Cameron’s shifty cover-up has been more damaging than his non-crime is almost too insultingly
obvious to state. He will not be assisted by the subconscious dismissiveness in that styling – “something like £30,000”.
There is a fine line between fastidious precision and sounding like something north of the average British salary is rather
forgettable, and the PM fell on the wrong side of it."

Thank you very much NeilBB.

Can you tell me how you did it? I have a Mac. Don't know if it makes any difference.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, Maeght

I pressed prt sc to grab the whole screen to clipboard. Then I ctrl v to paste it into a basic picture viewer/editor; Irfanview in this case. Then I cropped the image to size and saved it before uploading it here. :)

Alternatively Shift-alt-4 will allow you to select any part of the screen you choose, then open preview and do the same as in the above post.

Have comments gone out of fashion? Though I did see some below the article about the wobble heading Britains way, rather liked the one that said bloody migrating poles.
