I've not been following this too closely, but I have to say... it looks to me like he's paying a very fair amount in tax. Yes, he's very wealthy, but we knew that anyway. No, he's not a very nice man, is completely out of touch with the electorate, and doesn't have an inkling on the problems the "austerity" cuts are causing (witness his own mother's protestations). But he's paying £74,000 in tax on an income of ~£200,000. That seems like a reasonable amount to me.

That's some palpable exasperation right there.
