Big business avoiding tax

Starbucks join the ranks of those large corporations avoiding paying Corporation Tax in the UK.

At a time when big business needs to pay their dues to counter the recession, at least three large corporations that we know of are avoiding paying their taxes.

Starbucks: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-19967397 Who used 'legitimate' ways to siphon money out of profits as a means to avoid paying tax. While these loopholes are legal they are not moral. The system is as much to blame as the companies who use them to avoid taxes.

Boots UK (ironically calling themselves UK, and yet stabbing the UK consumer and country in the back) and finally:

Apple and Ebay are also on this list.

While these laws allow the corporation to dodge taxes, it is up to the consumer to make them pay - by avoiding these shops/products where at all possible.

On another note, I have written 3 books. 2 are part of a series set in Scoltand about the Sidhe, fairy folk. Available on kindle and in paperback:

The Island of the Mist is book 2

The Stone in the Sword is book 1

The 3rd book is an adult, sexy witchy werewolf/vampire story set in New York and featuring a strong female lead character, again available in kindle and paperback formats:

The Wolf, the Witch and the Coffin

Conservative Party Looking More and More Anti-Women

As the Conference progresses, The Conservative party are looking more and more to be 'old boys' together now than ever before!

To add to this, Cameron has stated he is for lowering the amount of time a woman can have an abortion and Jemery Hunt has advised 12 weeks! Many women don't know they are pregnant in the first 10-12 weeks!

If this was your daughter and she was 16, had been raped, would you condemn her to being a 'suitcase' for the rest of her term because you cannot abide the thought of a woman having control over decisions regarding her own body?

Women have campaigned for decades to have rights that men have had for a very long time. There is a definite backslide in the UK just now with regards to the rights of women. It is truly disgusting and I fear it will get worse.

All this from a government that Scotland/Wales and N Ireland did not vote for!

Shame on the Tories!
