Politics and economics are straight forward if you are principled. You stick to your principles don't you? I just happen to have different principles to you. In my opinion, anyone or any enterprise that is earning over the tax threshold should be paying their tax here. Those that don't should be held to account. In simplistic terms, that may include loss of office for Panama Paper authority figures, banned from employment on the BBC for those entertainers in tax avoidance schemes (i.e. Gary Barlow, Jimmy Carr et al). For businesses when they earn a profit here, they pay tax on the profits here.
