Not sure what you are saying. But recent reports have shown we need lots more immigrants if our economy has to have any long term chance of recovery. The vast majority of immigrants work hard and pay their tax, if they were 'removed' our economy would die overnight. With an ageing demographic we are going to be stuffed without lots more immigration.

Indeed. But tax dodging for big companies has become even easier since George got his hands on the economy. (not that it was difficult before) We also seem to have a policy of letting foreign companies take over public services and even major utilities. Whilst many, thought not all of these do pay their corporation tax, they then tax large amounts of their profit out of the UK. Of course all that your millionaires cabinet (perhaps it will soon be billionaires cabinet) care about is what they can stuff into their back pockets.
Our economy does not look as if it has any real hope of making any sort of real long term recovery. It's being set up to fail by a bunch of thieves who are grabbing what they can while they can.
Yup Bernie has been known for his generous political donations in the past. I doubt if he just started tax dodging yesterday.
Here's another thing. I can't remember Bernie owns F1 outright or he has a % stake, but he'll also pay himself a salary. I'd guess it's substantial and that he pays sod all tax on it. Yup more tax dodging.
Talking of Starbucks and umm coffee. I love coffee but I've never touched Starbucks. If your local family owned coffee shop is a few quid out on their tax returns, you can bet the tax office will actually spend a not inconsiderable amount of money making sure that little business coughs up - same for me too, a couple of quid out and they peruse me relentlessly. But Starbucks they don't pay any tax.

There is no bigger influence than public influence. But.........
Meanwhile we have the red tops to keep us ranting about benefit cheats. Doh!
