I totally agree the big corps and tax avoidance it's f**kin disgraceful.

Trouble is these companies have far too much clout within Westminster and if you are an insomniac read ' Who runs Britain's by Robert Peston it explains how scumbags like Alan Green have the politicians in their pockets. Also ultimately most politicians I believe look to 'feather their own nests' especially towards the end of their political careers so end up being directors in a million and one companies. Maybe I just see politicians in the wrong light.
