@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.

@martinhearson - otherwise a huge “trust us” to say ‘we may be playing fast & loose w the numbers but we are identifying the problem right’

@MForstater Alas, it is bed time in Kenya. I'm fine with you pointing out NGO errors, but please don't make that your only contribution.
