Vodafone didn't have a £6bn tax bill. Sort yourselves out, Lefties

No, they have. They really, really have. KPMG and others provide consultation services to the govt, often for "free", to help write the tax laws (because there is no one "in house" any more), and then use the laws they wrote to sell "tax efficient services".

Many back issues (and likely many future issues) document these laws and relationships.

This isn't "leftie crap", it is based on proper journalistic investigation from an organ that is well versed with printing facts (Otherwise "the most sued man in britain" would be behind bars many times over, wouldn't he?)

As the OP on this subthread stated, the point has never been that this stuff is illegal, it is that it is immoral and corrupt. Another point is that without this corruption making the immoral completely legal, we would likely not need austerity.
