boss 0 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Good article but not sure that quoting the hypocritical child abuse coverer up Margaret Hodge (nee Oppenheimer) adds anything to it given the fact that her family's private company Stemcor pays tax at the whopping rate of 0.01%. As much as the tax arrangements of Starbucks,Amazon and Google et al tend to stick in the throat being lectured on those arrangements by Margaret Hodge is akin to being lectured in the evils of child abuse by the Pope. Haha, you are of course correct. But hypocrite that she is, she did actually do a good job in roasting those companies last week. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boss 0 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 I think that you are missing the point of the article. It's about double standards. Thanks you, Bluedell. That is the whole point about yesterday's and today's articles, to highlight the hypocrisy of the SPL. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it certainly made for an interesting and bizarre spectacle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 all well and good if we had been punished for tax avoidance, which we haven't been. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,060 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 all well and good if we had been punished for tax avoidance, which we haven't been. We have the PAYE, NIC's and VAT though you could argue that was not avoidance but outright evasion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
