Jonbouy ... just give up and go record something and forget the rest of the world. It's over man. It's really all over.

 
Not for as long as I can enjoy a good rant it ain't...

It's like everyone used to say Mucky D's was responsible for the destruction of the environment.
 
Everytime I've been in one of those places though it's seemed clean, pleasantly decorated, had some light music and was air-conditioned.  I never saw what they were on about.

It's quite simple really global companies should pay a national premium to operate a territory where they know they are going to make money, a percentage.
 
But the rules say that they don't have to - how is that their fault?

What would happen if they all said no and major league employers like Nissan, Toyota, Honda etc took their factories and jobs elsewhere - would that make us better off or would we have thousands more on benefits "through no fault of their own" ?

Yes people exploit loopholes in the tax system it doesn't make them fair.

I didn't say I thought it was fair, or that I agreed with it,  just that they have acted within the rules, so blame the rules not those that operate according to them.

As for the employment issue isn't it just a statistical difference between being paid peanuts by a firm like this when there are no jobs that provide real opportunities and provide these companies with greater margins when they can exploit the emotional response of taking them off the unemployment figures.

If they get their peanuts from Starbucks it means they're not taking them from the state. Fine by me.
 
Simple fair play shouldn't be a difficult ideal to aim at, for builder, account or multi-national alike.

Isn't fair play usually defined as playing by the rules then ?
 
If you were to believe popular media as your comments about the contribution they make toward employment would suggest you do,

I don't need the media to tell me what my opinion is, I am capable of forming my own ;)
