Should Scameron resign, and if he did, would that go far enough?

    Trying to put aside all political bias, I genuinely think his position is untenable. However, at the minute I don't think the situation is serious enough to demand a snap general election. But - I suspect that this is just the tip of the iceberg, and if other senior Tories were to be implicated, it would definitely be a game-changer. I really would not be surprised if it comes to light that Boris and Gideon have got their fingers in lots of dirty pies.

    Here's hoping. Would quite like to see the conservative party implode right now.

    He's Teflon coated. He will just ride this one out again.

    I would dance in the ******* streets. Always remember 1997 - we had a promotion to the Prem and a labour govt inside a week. What a great double-header that was. What price a tarn promotion and that shiny-faced phucker Cameron standing down? Get the *** in!

    I wouldn't be suprised if any mp labour,torys,ukip,lib dems or whoever had money in these off shore accounts. Wasn't long scince they were all fiddling their expences from all party's. It's wrong but sadly doesn't suprise me. He should resign for using 10 million pounds of tax payers money on leaflets and then trying to justify it that really pissed me off.

    would be very surprised if it was only one party that's into shady stuff like this tbh , there are loaded people in all parties these days who are willing to do anything for an extra bob or two, as shown by expense scandal.

    If the Labour hierarchy are 'clean' on this issue they'll clamour for Cameron to go. If they've fingers in the Panamanian pie Labour will be quiet.

    And so far, their silence has been deafening. Let's see what tomorrow brings. I reckon the fun is only just beginning. A lot of tw@ts about to get their comeuppance.

    I'm not sure. We would probably end up with that smug **** Osbourne instead.

    I definitely think Bono should resign though.

    He's quite unpopular after the disabled cuts fiasco. Besides, he's probably got some prime slices of Cheshire farmland registered in the British Virgin Islands under someone else's name. If enough of the big cheeses end up resigning we're going to be left with Nadine Dorries as PM by default, with Giles Brandreth as Chancellor.

    What the Panama Papes have confirmed to me is that Chris Martin should be immediately banned from playing music ( or playing for Derby).

    I think Osborne has already been rumbled previously. In that he has assets stashed in off shore registered accounts. Or did I dream that

    Yeah yeah yeah. If I dreamt about him I'd have to turn into one of these druggies or alcoholics so as to block it out.

    You missed 'the huddle' today. Strong, mind bending drugs really were an attractive option.

    Yes and no. Clearly him resigning won't get anywhere near solving the massive problem of hundreds of billiin/ trillions of dollars bring kept offshore.

    He bought £10K worth of shares (joint account with wife) in a legal investment fund almost 20 years ago, which were sold before he even became PM. Think folk may be getting a little carried away.

    Article in the Guardian back in 2012 touches on this subject, more so his father and also say the likes of Apple, Unilever and Coca Cola invested in these Panamanian investment funds.
