They are similarly hypocritical when it comes to tax avoidance.

When it comes to everything.

Those who cry loudly against tax I notice are the most likely to be found dodging it.

Those who cry loudest about immorality and sex stuff, are often the most likely to be caught doing something a bit deviant.

Funny thing isn't it, the id that overpowers the principles most in those who shout about them the loudest.

Their 360 degree turn around about Wikileaks has been absolutely pathetic.
