Pork Barrel Politics

Max and Stacy discuss the latest in the ongoing fallout in the UK from the #PanamaPapers revelations regarding the UK Prime Minister’s participation in his father’s offshore fund. They discuss the conspiracy theories that thrived in the absence of government transparency and mainstream media fail.
They also cover the story from Scotland where thousands of students are without a school due to the shoddy construction by Private Finance Initiatives. In the second half Max interviews Alex Cobham of TaxJustice.net about the #PanamaPapers, the ongoing fallout but also the role that offshore provides in protecting whistleblowers themselves - like WikiLeaks.
