It's not just a case of them owing money, some will see this as them owing the country money in a time when many of us are seeing cut backs that affect us all. |

Quite right too, Vodafone as a British company are tax avoiding, this at a time when the economy is struggling. It's the most successful British company in the world (if not THE then one of the) and yet they avoid UK tax.
This at the same time as the poor man on the street is having to face cuts. That's why people are protesting. More here http://news.sky.com/skynews/Business This could spread to other stores, as it's not just London I don't think. |

Every corporation avoids tax where it can, in this case vodafone have never had a £6bn tax bill. What they did have was a £1.2bn bill which was paid in full.
Also I find it hilarious that people can protest calling the tax dodgers, surely to have the time to protest on a Wednesday you must also not be paying tax? |
