@martinhearson "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say it"? Apols for shortness of tweets & comment, but not for asking questions!

@MForstater you have a blog, why not use it to set out something propositional on tax and development, rather than taking pot shots at NGOs?

@martinhearson - it worries me that no one (?) seems to think it is a problem if the public is bamboozled by figures that aren't robust.

@MForstater It's good to scrutinise, I agree, but hard to respond to you without knowing where you are coming from in a v polarised debate

@martinhearson that is the thing though, no one scrutinised those figures b4 or after publication. It doesn't help advance understanding.

@MForstater b) if objective is 'tax justice' this is not the most important debate, but it's the only debate you seem interested in having

@martinhearson b) say the wider objective is 'informed public debate on taxation' ...then yes it matters.

@MForstater I think that's a means, not an end
