Scameron is set to use a visit to Singapore to make an anti-corruption speech on Tuesday in which he will express concern that some properties, mainly in London, “are being bought by people overseas through anonymous shell companies“.

Would that be like 73 Chester Square, owned for many years by a shady little company based in the British Virgin Islands?

I only ask because that’s where Thatcher lived. Mark and Carol must have been so grateful for mummy’s foresight – not to mention her abolition of controls on what money could be sent abroad – as they avoided about four million smackers in inheritance tax.

All in this together? Piss off!
