Another moral compass is needed, it seems, for former London mayor Ken Livingstone.
Our Ken, who has described tax avoiders as “rich bastards” who “don’t get it” apparently had fees for his media work while he was mayor paid to his private company, Silverta Ltd, for the purposes of, er, tax avoidance. It is ,of course, something of a PR disaster when someone is hoisted with their own petard.
Claims that Silverta is short for a silver-tongued unmentionable, are, like Mr Livingstone perhaps, not to be trusted………..
