Chapter 464 Woaw goes public

"Iraq "may develop an atomic bomb within 45 days" is proven to be Blair's clumsy lie"

"What did being involved in a wrong war bring to the British people?" ! 》

"Facts have proven that the Iraq War was a wrong war. The so-called intelligence about 'weapons of mass destruction' has not yet been verified..."

"It is reported that in Bush's last meeting with Blair before the war, the latter tried his best to lead the war, which prompted Bush to make the final determination to start the war..."

"The war in Iraq has exacted a heavy price on Britain. In addition to causing heavy casualties and property losses, it has also made Britain a key target of international terrorist attacks. The "7.7" London Underground serial bombings are one example..."

Immediately, British newspapers and television programs were filled with various accusations against the Prime Minister for launching and participating in the Iraq War.

This includes newspapers and TV stations owned by the SEM Group. It can be said that they are one of the main forces in this public opinion report.

“Before the war started, our Prime Minister swore that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and could develop nuclear weapons within 45 days, threatening the civilized world. But until now, Saddam’s regime has fallen, and Iraq A large number of civilian casualties have caused the entire country to fall into chaos. Even this chaos has spread to the British mainland, but we still cannot see those so-called weapons of mass destruction. Where are the so-called nuclear weapons? By some kind of magic, those 'weapons' on all the vehicles claiming to be transporting weapons of mass destruction were turned into gold and property..."

In the ITV program, the beautiful host Joe Harriman also continued to denounce the current Prime Minister.

In Barron's eyes, the female host, who was full of a sense of justice at this time, had a private and contrasting beauty with the appearance in front of him that day...

According to surveys by relevant agencies, in recent times, the Labor Party's support among the people has begun to decline significantly, which will definitely affect the upcoming local council elections...

Even many Labor candidates running for election to local councils have begun to side with the current prime minister who reflects on the war and his responsibilities, in order to gain more popular support.

It can be said that Blair's situation has taken a turn for the worse. He not only has to face attacks from the opposition parties, but there are also more and more accusations from within the Labor Party.

Even in early April, opponents of Blair took to the streets across the UK, including London, to hold rallies, holding banners and demanding that the Prime Minister step down. Some even burned photos of Blair on the spot...

Although the tense scenes were controlled by the police, once the momentum started, protests continued one after another.

During his speech, Cameron, leader of the Conservative Party, the largest opposition party, publicly asked the government to investigate those responsible for falsifying intelligence to participate in the Iraq war, and claimed that the prime minister should bear primary responsibility for the current results.

It can be said that during his tenure, he created the longest period of prosperity in Britain since World War II. The prime minister who could have ended his term with dignity after the end of his third term and left his name in history with his impressive achievements is now facing the biggest crisis in his life. .

…

It is worth mentioning that before Barron’s marriage, he had completed the procedures for placing his property, other than the family trust fund, into the Cavendish Trust Fund established in the British Virgin Islands.

All shares previously held by DS Holdings, a subsidiary of DS Group, including SEM Group, O2 Telecom, Argos Retail Group and other companies, have been transferred to the holding company held directly by the Cavendish Trust Fund.

Now these shares are only held in custody by DS Group...

The original self-operated business of DS Capital, a subsidiary of DS Group, that is, the business invested by DS Capital's own funds (Barron's funds), has also become that the funds belong to the Cavendish Trust Fund and are invested by DS The way a company invests.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the current DS Group is just a "wealth management company" that helps other funds manage and invest, just like the Pilot Group.

The ownership of the shares and wealth originally held directly by the DS Group has entered the Cavendish Trust Fund.

It's just a change of ownership.

But the company's operations are not much different from before. It's just that the transfer of funds in and out of each other requires more procedures and optimized tax management.

After all, after the asset ownership is vested in the trust fund, there are many preferential tax policies that can be taken advantage of.
