Three multinationals are in trouble in the UK: Google, Amazon and Starbucks. Why? Because they make gazillions here but don't pay tax. Starbucks tried to make out that this was because they weren't making a profit...until they were caught out boasting to their shareholders how much they HAD made. Amazon and Google do it by holding their money off-shore in tax havens.
Starbucks is now in discussions with the revenue because customers are beginning to boycott their set-up. This is easier to do than boycotting Amazon and Google.
Ideas, anyone?
