Tories lobbying to protect Google’s £30bn island tax haven

The Tories are lobbying to ensure that Bermuda, where Google are reported to divert much of its riches to in order to, legally of course, minimise their tax liability, does not appear on a EU blacklist of Tax Havens.
You just could not make something like that up!

It seems the Tories have had enough of being in office and are pulling the plug from under their own feet.

Or rather are following the adage "Don't bite the hand that feeds you".

The country is ruled and run by conglomerates, not by government politicians.

I honestly think that Cameron was as shocked as anyone that he was voted in again. I don't think they care whether what they do is popular or not or who they s*** on.

Re: Tories lobbying to protect Google’s £30bn island tax haven

With this little snippet of news one has to ask does Osborne have shares in any of these major tax dodgers or is he lining himself up for a lucrative post-parliament 'nice little earner' ???

Re: Tories lobbying to protect Google’s £30bn island tax haven

The Tories have had links with Google for years, so can they be said to be open and honest in their dealings. ?
