@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

@martinhearson but yes if the means to 'tax justice' is 'misinformed public debate' then no I don't sign up to that.

@MForstater that's not what I meant!

@martinhearson - glad to hear it! So we agree that better informed public debate is a good thing. That is why it is important….

@MForstater the debate I want is not about whether Oxfam got their sums wrong, but how to fix the underlying [tax] problem.
