What I think the OP is trying to say is a cook in the hand is worth a bakers dozen and also hoist by his own petard.

Hahaha, don't put your baker's dozen eggs into one offshore basket.

It's an irregular verb:

They are nasty bastards
You were a little unwise but we like you, so just clean it up a bit
I am sensible with money and only act legally

Corbyn is "throwing mud" because that is his job as Leader of Her Majesty's Opposition (not just the leader of the Labour Party).

This is a worldwide scandal, imagine if the UK were the only country to do nothing because the leader of the opposition declared: "Are sure, lots of people do it"

Surely the leader of a party should be at least as responsible for knowing about his parties financial arrangement as much as his parents finances?

Just been listening to William Hague on R4 today (why do politicians always seem full of sense when they're no longer politicians ?) and he made a very fair point (I thought|). Which was basically, if we (the Great British Public) want greater transparency (I take it a majority do ?) then we (the Great British Public) need to be a bit more mature (I admired his restraint in not saying grow up) about our politicians.

It wasn't a call to brush anything under the carpet, but acknowledging that a one-size-fits-all everyman politician who has straightforward affairs is probably a rare beast.

On reflection, I think it could be a very good thing. As things stand, we demand (or say we do) the highest probity from our politicians. Previously it was taken on trust, and in return, our politicians were allowed to demand the highest standards from us. If a future develops where politicians are not able to commandeer the moral high ground, then maybe they'll have to be a bit more relaxed about us (the Great British Public)
