The chief political commentator of the Daily Telegraph has resigned from the paper, accusing it of a "form of fraud on its readers" for its coverage of HSBC and its Swiss tax-dodging scandal.
Peter Oborne claimed the paper did not give due prominence to the HSBC story because of commercial interests.
Surprised that there isn't already a thread on the criminal activities of HSBC, why aren't the stations full of bankers helping the police with their enquiries?

Britain’s chief tax inspector told MPs in September 2011 that his department possessed a disc containing records from the Swiss subsidiary of a major UK bank – understood to be HSBC, contradicting Downing Street’s assertion on Tuesday that ministers only became aware of the scale of potential tax evasion through the bank at the weekend.
At the time, the former chairman of the HSBC, Stephen Green, was trade minister, having been appointed by David Cameron nine months earlier.
While your average working person can lose everything they own and end up in prison for tax offences, HSBC help the rich to dodge it, Amazon, Starbucks and others don't even bother to pay it yet continue to take money off the tax paying public, whilst all immune from prosecution, it's time the Gov focused on the real tax dodgers.
