Being in the EU has changed British life in ways you wouldn’t expect - in sport, food, fashion and travel we’ve become a less insular country than we were in the 70s.

James S. Henry introduces a hot topic: offshore banking. The G8 and G20 are planning meetings to discuss it. Even the Netherlands is a tax haven for certain types of companies.
