"Elite Greedy Pigs"
- 18 April 2013 09:07225851Is Npower the new Starbucks?
At the same time as hiking our energy bills, Npower are using accounting tricks to dodge
paying their fair share of tax in the UK. Yesterday it was revealed that they haven't paid a
single penny in corporation tax for the last three years! [1]
But now this is out in the open, Npower are vulnerable. Just look what a PR disaster it was
for Starbucks when their tax affairs were exposed last year. Tax dodging scandals can ruin
a company's reputation. And that can cost them their customers. [2]
Npower rely on their customer loyalty. If they realise that their tax scams are damaging their
reputation, they'll have to back down. So let's make them feel the strength of public opposition
by building a HUGE petition warning them that their customers are ready to leave them.

......but not to the Tories......
Lord Ashcroft will sign up to the Giving Pledge, by which billionaires give away most of
their wealth
THE billionaire and Tory peer Lord Ashcroft is to pledge at least half of his £1.2bn fortune to
charity as he joins a philanthropic movement led by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, America's
two richest men.
The former Tory treasurer, who has given the party £10m but will not help to fund its general
election campaign, will next month sign up to the Giving Pledge, a public commitment by
billionaires to give away the majority of their wealth.
Another six of Britain's super-rich have already made the pledge. Based on their current wealth
the seven donors, including Sir Richard and Lady Branson, John Caudwell, and Michael Moritz
and Harriet Heyman, have pledged a combined £3.7bn. - 21 April 2013 19:46226382will you be sending in a postal order to safe face reg?

his role as government adviser revoked
Senior MPs called on David Cameron to consider stripping the boss of Google from his role
as a government adviser tonight after he suggested that his company's contribution to the British
economy was more important than paying its fair share of tax.
Politicians from all three parties rounded on Google's executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, after
he defended its use of loopholes to minimise its UK tax bill. - 24 April 2013 06:35226749There is no defence.
Roger - 24 April 2013 06:46226751What a strange attitude though to suggest that paying tax is the only way to contribute to the British economy. The economy is a lot more than the tax we pay, in fact excessive taxation damages the British economy. I have not looked into Google but if they employ people in the UK is that not a significant contribution to the UK economy even if, as a overseas domiciled company, they do not pay tax here? Given the levels of unemployment we need more companies like that.
