In the news

Put him in a room with James Corden, Graham Norton and Dennis Wise and they'd all point him out as the tit.

What if Russell Brand's in there too?

At least he got to yentz Katy Perry.

tru fax, and they would have something to eat.

Total cost of benefits system < total of uncollected tax caused by HMRC's "agreements" with, for example, Vodafone.

"<" does not convey the ratio involved. It's sickening.

balloon man is off as soon as they fill his balloon with a ludicropus amount of helium or hydrogen

At least he got to yentz Katy Perry.

Really?
That would be very very surprising.
They used to pay somewhere in the region of £170m in tax per annum in the UK and then legitimately cut that owing to the amortisation of the £6bn they spent on the 3G license as well as the classic Luxembourg SARL finance scam.
So let's be generous and say it is £200m per annum that they legitimately should pay (if you re-wrote the national and international tax code of course).
Over 10 years that's £2bn, although a quick google shows some estimates of what they avoided around £6bn.
Which is about £600m a year.

The welfare state costs just over £200bn to run.

To you need over 300 companies making as much money as Vodafone and avoiding tax completely for the ratios to be equal.

I think you might be confused with the National Fraud Authority's analysis that Tax Evasion costs 15x more than benefit FRAUD.

But whatever - carry on bashing one of the country's most successful companies for adhering to their fiduciary duty of maximising their returns to shareholders.

Maybe Emyr's bashing HMRC?

You seem a little sensitive on this one.

he's on a 10 year vodafone contract.... which he can write off against tax

This is important.
Someone is wrong on the internet.

.

their fiduciary duty of maximising their returns to shareholders.
Fiduciary duty does not always mean maximising shareholder value.

I don't know the ins and outs of Vodafone's corporate governance (nor of any other big assed corporations), but not being massive cunts is probably in there somewhere, albeit phrased a little differently.

Copper hits a cyclist from behind doing 63 mph over a humpback bridge in a 30 zone. His van took off at one point. He's got two previous convictions for dangerous driving.

Gets a suspended sentence.

Coming up to bonus time.

I agree it probably is - unfortunately those corporate social responsibility sections are completely ignored by virtually everyone.

Whereas the very idea of paying more tax than is strictly necessary would land them with a class action shareholder suit faster than you could say, "greed is good".

corporate social responsibility sections are completely ignored by virtually everyone.
