      Trying to understand your argument. Are you saying Mauritius doesn’t pose any risk as an enabler of tax avoidance or that because every is doing it’s it’s not a problem?

      I'm saying if there is nothing at all interesting or troublesome about Mr Geldof's investment structure then its irresponsible to present it as if there is.

      Replying to @MForstater @Oxfam

      I think it’s redactionary to frame the #MauritiusLeaks as a story about Geldof. The expose raises fundamental issues about the role of Mauritius as a taxhaven and a conduit for tax avoidance.This I think should be core the discussion not the ‘journalistic’ opening of the story

      I didn't frame the story that way @ICIJorg did. Literally the first word in their report is "Bob". I agree they should have written a serious story about Mauritius -- its role in tax avoidance *and in investment* (because both matter) but they didn't.pic.twitter.com/2ehBXwLh8W

          And this is what their allies and funders are encouraging them to do systematically. So I don't want to just shrug and nevermind its fine that this movement drives simplistic sensationalism. Top Tip for campaigning journalists: lead with the thing you want people to look at
