		<description><![CDATA[From Jimmy Carr to Google, headlines about avoidance split the nation – some view it as a moral abhorrence, others legal self-protection. Yet recently I&#8217;ve even been shocked to see some on Twitter and Facebook point the finger at MSE for encouraging people to save into ISAs.&#160; First of all, let&#8217;s clear up some terminology.

Therefore, when one of our country&#8217;s former Prime Ministers dies, that polarisation makes its difficult for our ruling elite to decide the appropriate treatment. The problem here, what makes [...]]]></description>
