Just what does a bank have to do to lose its licence?! In the February 2015 Taxcast we look at the fall out from #HSBCLeaks and ask how we can genuinely tackle criminality in global finance? Also: the latest research on fines and crimes in banking; why a recent threat to have UK Crown Dependencies and Overseas territories blacklisted won't exactly have them shaking in their shoes; plus more scandal and unique analysis. "The worst thing that can happen to you as a CEO of HSBC is to retire and move on and have to face the press 5 years down the road if you're caught..."

●●●▬▬▬▬▬✮✮ English ✮✮▬▬▬▬●●● The Gibraltar Anthem is the national song of the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. In common with the United Kingdom, Crown dependencies and other British territories, the official national anthem of Gibraltar is God Save the Queen. The Gibraltar anthem is the national song, and was chosen in a competition in 1994. Both the lyrics and music were composed by Peter Emberley, who is not a Gibraltarian. The anthem is sung every 10 September by a school choir, accompanied by the general public, at the annual release of 30,000 red and white balloons on Gibraltar National Day. Gibraltar’s anthem is a good example of what an anthem should be, stirring and simple, while encapulating how natives and the world view the country. ●●●▬▬▬▬▬✮✮ Español ✮✮▬▬▬▬●●● Gibraltar conserva como himno oficial el God Save the Queen, al igual que otras dependencias del Reino Unido. Sin embargo, también tiene su propio himno local que fue elegido por concurso en 1994. La letra y la música fueron compuestas por Peter Emberley. SOURCES: — nationalanthems.info — google.com — wikipedia.org
"God Save the Queen" (alternatively "God Save the King" during the reign of a male sovereign) is an anthem used in a number of Commonwealth realms, their territories, and the British Crown Dependencies. The words and title are adapted to the gender of the current monarch, i.e. replacing "Queen" with "King", "she" with "he", and so forth, when a king reigns. The author of the tune is unknown, and it may originate in plainchant, but a 1619 attribution to John Bull is sometimes made. ''God Save the Queen'' is used as the National and/or royal anthem of : Antigua and Barbuda (royal) Australia (royal) and its dependency of Norfolk Island (national and royal) The Bahamas (royal) Barbados (royal) Belize (royal) Canada (royal) Grenada (royal) Jamaica (royal) New Zealand (national and royal) and some of its dependencies (Cook Islands and Niue (royal) and Tokelau (national and royal)) Saint Kitts and Nevis (royal) Tuvalu (royal) United Kingdom (national and royal), its Crown Dependencies and its overseas territories.

UK territories must publish details of who controls firms registered there or face being put on an international "blacklist", Labour has warned. In a letter to UK Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies, party leader Ed Miliband says a Labour government would give them six months to comply. If not they could end up on the list of "tax havens" of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Mr Miliband said billions of pounds were "siphoned off into tax havens". His letter is being sent to British Overseas Territories - Anguilla, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, the Turks and Caicos Islands, Gibraltar and Montserrat - and the Crown Dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man. 'Shrouded in darkness' He told them they "will have to produce a publicly accessible central register of beneficial ownership" within six months if Labour wins May's general election. "If any Overseas Territory or Crown Dependency does not meet this deadline, we will ask the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development to put them on the OECD's tax haven blacklist," he went on. Leaders from the G20 - made up of 19 of the world's largest economies plus the European Union - have previously agreed to impose sanctions against jurisdictions on the OECD blacklist. The OECD's "list of unco-operative tax havens" has been empty since 2009, though 38 jurisdictions are on a list of those "committed to improving transparency and establishing effective exchange of information in tax matters". The territories and dependencies written to by Mr Miliband are all on that list. He said: "More than 18 months have passed since David Cameron promised to shine a light on the tax havens in UK Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies - and their affairs are still shrouded in darkness." Labour said none of the jurisdictions had yet delivered on the prime minister's pledge that they would publish a company ownership register. "Registers in Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies would help stop or stem tax avoidance by showing the tax authorities who is diverting money into companies in these havens and where the money of UK taxpayers is going," Labour claims. "Rather than protecting UK Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies as we do now, we would act as whistle blowers, making a formal request to the OECD that they should be added to the blacklist," the party warned. Mr Miliband said the UK "has a responsibility to open up the Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies which are held responsible for so much tax secrecy and avoidance". He added: "Billions of pounds is being siphoned off into tax havens where our authorities cannot discover even the true ownership of firms registered there, let alone the scale of wealth hidden away."

In English jurisprudence, the Crown is the state in all its aspects. In countries that do not have a monarchy, the concept may be expressed as "the State" or "the People", or some political entity, such as "the United States", "the Commonwealth" or "the State of [name]". Legally, the Crown is a corporation sole that, in the Commonwealth realms, Crown dependencies and any of its provincial or state sub-divisions, represents the legal embodiment of executive, legislative, or judicial governance. It evolved first in the United Kingdom as a separation of the literal crown and property of the nation state from the person and personal property of the monarch. The concept spread through British colonisation, and is now rooted in the legal lexicon of the other 15 independent realms. In this context it should not be confused with any physical crown, such as those of the British state regalia. This video is targeted to blind users.

While Fran is in desperate need of a job, Manny gets a call from an old friend, Gus—a rather diminutive underworld figure. Gus agrees to get Fran a job working for a guy named Nugent in exchange for the bookstore hosting a reading of his nephew Danny's new book. Alas, Fran hasn't a clue what she is supposed to be doing at her new job and Danny is a hulking great illiterate whose ghostwritten autobiography describes the pain he's inflicted on many others in great detail and which he will happily inflict on Bernard and Manny if they can't teach him to read within two days. Fran gets promoted. Bernard worries about his thumbs. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Black_Books_episodes) Written by Dylan Moran and Arthur Mathews, and produced by Channel 4.

The second panel discussion from the Long Finance Spring Conference 2014: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/how-fares-fair-offshore-a-panel-discussion The Long Finance Spring Conference 2014 continues its examination of International Financial Centres. This Panel is comprised of politicians and business from Britain, Aldern and Switzerland, making them uniquely positioned to answer audience questions and to discuss the current climate in the industry. With three nearby Crown Dependencies and six overseas territories promoting themselves as 'international financial centres', the UK seems to value offshore centres. Yet during current financial crises these havens are easy scapegoats. At the 2011 G20 Summit in Cannes, President Nicolas Sarkozy stated, "We don't want any more tax havens. Our message is clear, countries that remain tax havens ... will be shunned by the international community". But do these centres add value? And what of onshore havens such as Delaware, Monaco, Luxembourg ... London? This symposium will explore the good, the bad and the ugly -- savings, crimes and tax. We will look at how offshore centres do add value, their dangers and how things might evolve to something, perhaps "mid-shore". The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College Website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/how-fares-fair-offshore-a-panel-discussion Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

Author Nicholas Shaxson delivers a talk all about the dangerous fallacy of competing tax rates: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/saving-havens-offshore-onshore-or-mid-shore-financial-centres Nicholas Shaxson, author of Treasure islands, ventures into the lions' den to deliver his lecture on why a 'competitive tax rate' is a term of economic illiteracy. Mr Shaxson shows how this term has been misused and perverted to apply the microeconomic tenets to the macroeconomic scale even as it ignores fundamentals of tax as part of a nation's economy. A challenging lecture that highlights many important issues in finance today. With three nearby Crown Dependencies and six overseas territories promoting themselves as 'international financial centres', the UK seems to value offshore centres.

Since 1956, Normandy has been divided into two administrative regions: Lower Normandy and Upper Normandy; these will be merged into one single region effective 1 January, 2016. The continental territory covers 30,627 km²[2] and forms the preponderant part of Normandy and roughly 5% of the territory of France. The population of Normandy is around 3.45 million. The continental population of 3.26 million accounts for 5.5% of the population of France (in 2005). The Channel Islands (referred to as Îles Anglo-Normandes in French) are historically part of Normandy, cover 194 km²[3] and comprise two bailiwicks: Guernsey and Jersey, which are British Crown dependencies. Upper Normandy (Haute-Normandie) consists of the French departments of Seine-Maritime and Eure, and Lower Normandy (Basse-Normandie) of the departments of Orne, Calvados, and Manche. The earlier province of Normandy comprised present-day Upper and Lower Normandy, as well as small areas now part of the départements of Mayenne and Sarthe. The name is derived from the settlement of the territory by Vikings ("Northmen") from the 9th century, and confirmed by treaty in the 10th century. For a century and a half following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, Normandy and England were linked by Norman and Frankish rulers. During World War II, the D Day landings on the Normandy beaches, under the code name Operation Overlord, started the lengthy Battle of Normandy and resulted in the Liberation of Paris and the restoration of the French Republic. These landings were a significant turning point in the war. Lower Normandy is predominantly agricultural in character, with cattle breeding the most important sector (although in decline from the peak levels of the 1970s and 1980s). The bocage is a patchwork of small fields with high hedges, typical of western areas. Upper Normandy contains a higher concentration of industry. Normandy is a significant cider-producing region, and also produces calvados, a distilled cider or apple brandy. Other activities of economic importance are dairy produce, flax (60% of production in France), horse breeding (including two French national stud farms), fishing, seafood, and tourism. The region contains three French nuclear power stations. There is also easy access to and from the UK using the ports of Cherbourg, Caen (Ouistreham), Le Havre and Dieppe.
Here are the 'occam razor' facts. All roads do NOT lead to 'Rome'. Most powerful entity on the planet is THE CROWN. The CROWN is a "triad", mother father son. The controlling interests have always passed down "through the mother". Washington DC is a nation state, so is London, so is the Vatican, they are a "trinity" in a triad. The pontiff and vatican represent papa and control of administering rites of souls and the administration of their property interests of the KAISARS going back 2000 years to Julius and prior, representing "venetian" black nobility interests and the 'divus julius cult'. The monarchy represents the effigy of the queen of BABYLON. The ruling interests of the god of the bible passed to his wife in ancient phoenicia and a 'city'. Today thats london, home of the NEW JERUSALEM. The real root and core of ZIONISM is sourced in the british monarchy and its crown interest. It was the british monarchy behind the support and protection of whats going on in the middle east. ALL commonwealth countries are funneling there money back to england including canada and the USA. The courts are run british controlling interests, AMERICA IS OWNED BY BRITAIN, it never ever won its independence and its MASONIC JACOBITES behind the birth and soon downfall of the country. As the narrator in video states, the real power is that which 'REIGN" in plain sight, and that is the monarchy of britain. Both they and those behind catholic church and vatican have been in a "confederacy" and league that goes back before the inception of Rome, and the height and collapse of the PHOENICIAN empire. Your seeing same iconography on both poop and queen showing a 'marriage' in effigy. Study both catholic and british history and there two peas coming from same pod going back prior to days of constantine. ZIONISM is far larger and more diverse then you think. Mossad and the CIA are both creations of MI5 and 6. Israel and America are both creations of british crown. All 3 nation states are working together with endogamous black nobility bloodlines. This shit has been going on for 1000's of years, new bosses same as old bosses. It is a CONS-PIRACY, ancient "feudalism", all sitting at one table going to top of the pinnacle warring for supremacy. Now, if you think royal family are just for show and not residing at highest echelon of the pyramid, your a fucking shill, period!. If you think that "crown", ITS A CROWN, not a fucking "tiara" is a joke, your sadly mistaken. See that gold buggy she drive in on special occasions? Worth 582 BILLION DOLLARS and its made out of solid gold!. That old hag "personally" owns over 27000 HISTORICAL ART MASTERPIECES worth "trillions". She alone has an estimated wealth of over 30 TRILLION, all being hid by the Vatican. British crown corps are in charge of the globes overall food production.

The Inquisitr 2015-04-07The Crown Dependencies are self-governing possessions of the British Crown, as opposed to overseas territories of the United Kingdom. They comprise the Channel Island Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey in the English Channel, and the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea.
Being independently administered jurisdictions, none forms part of the United Kingdom nor of the European Union.
"The Crown" is defined differently in each Crown Dependency. In Jersey, statements in the 21st century of the constitutional position by the Law Officers of the Crown define it as the "Crown in right of Jersey", with all Crown land in the Bailiwick of Jersey belonging to the Crown in right of Jersey and not to the Crown Estate of the United Kingdom. Legislation of the Isle of Man defines the "Crown in right of the Isle of Man" as being separate from the "Crown in right of the United Kingdom". In Guernsey, legislation refers to the "Crown in right of the Bailiwick", and the Law Officers of the Crown of Guernsey submitted that "The Crown in this context ordinarily means the Crown in right of the république of the Bailiwick of Guernsey" and that this comprises "the collective governmental and civic institutions, established by and under the authority of the Monarch, for the governance of these Islands, including the States of Guernsey and legislatures in the other Islands, the Royal Court and other courts, the Lieutenant Governor, Parish authorities, and the Crown acting in and through the Privy Council." This constitutional concept is also worded as the "Crown in right of the Bailiwick of Guernsey".
Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926) is the constitutional monarch of 16 sovereign states known as the Commonwealth realms, and head of the 54-member Commonwealth of Nations. She is also head of state of the Crown Dependencies.
Elizabeth was born in London, and educated privately at home. Her father acceded to the throne as George VI in 1936 on the abdication of his brother Edward VIII. She began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, in which she served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. On the death of her father in 1952, she became Head of the Commonwealth and queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon.
