Really Keith? Is that truly your simplistic view of politics that there is one side of the house good and the other bad, Sinn Fein for example, good or bad? SNP? The Greens?
See Keith, 25 years a politician, obsessed with politics, yet you still can't see why the public in general are totally hacked off with political parties.

Tax scandal threatens charity donations
Regulator stands accused of cowardice and bringing the whole sector into disrepute
The Charity Commission's handling of a high-profile tax-avoidance scandal that saw shockingly
little donated money reach good causes has put charities at risk of losing the public's confidence -
and consequently their money, one of the leading figures in the sector has warned.
Sir Stuart Etherington, chief executive of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations
(NCVO), the UK's largest charity association, said the regulator had brought charities into "disrepute"
by failing to act over the controversy.
The Cup Trust was exposed in January as giving only £55,000 to good causes despite raising £176m
over two years as part of a scheme in which donors were suspected of claiming millions in tax relief
through an abuse of the Gift Aid scheme. But after a 24-month investigation, the Charity Commission,
chaired by William Shawcross, allowed the Cup Trust to remain on the charity register.

Speaking of elite greedy pigs it seems that the climate troughers are finding that spending all that time studying media studies, sorry climate related subjects, has all been in vain at least where working for the government is concerned.
This on the day that carbon dioxide levels have peaked to a paltry 400 parts per million.
Still some money saved, hopefully, with the exodus of these bleating pointy heads.

George Osborne urges EU finance ministers to sign tax directive
Osborne says EU savings directive is an essential precondition of developing worldwide exchange
of tax information
George Osborne's letter says: 'Unless Europe can show it can agree on this existing proposal,
our commitment to a new, stronger standard will not be credible.'
George Osborne will step up his campaign to toughen developed countries' stance on tax havens
and company tax transparency by urging his fellow EU finance ministers to sign the delayed
savings directive as a first step to creating a global standard on tax information.
In a letter to his fellow finance ministers Osborne says the EU savings directive is an essential
precondition of developing worldwide exchange of tax information. Britain, as part of its G8
chairmanship, is campaigning for automatic exchange of tax information between countries
encompassing developed and developing countries.

Comment...............courtesy Guardian..............
Osborne has no intention of setting any examples. His strategy is to bleat on about being
unable to take unilateral action. By putting the onus on others and "demanding" multilateral
action he pretends to care about the issue but every multilateral action suggested so far he
has criticised and opposed.
If he wants to stop the use of tax havens then the UK has a long list of them and he should start at home
not preach to foreign governments.
While he pretends to wring his hands, Tory party supporters and their deceased "great" leader stash
their cash in the British Virgin Islands, The Channel Islands, etc, etc. and laugh at the rest of us
.......... who pay our due taxes...............

Fresh questions for Amazon over pittance it pays in tax
Exclusive: Guardian investigation shows key role of British-based staff in pushing tax
rulebook to its limits
Amazon distribution centre in Milton Keynes: company filings have revealed Amazon's
main UK company paid just £3.2m in corporation tax on £320m sales last year.
MPs are ready to haul Amazon back to parliament to answer new questions about its
tax status in Britain after a Guardian investigation's findings suggest the online retailer is
pushing the tax rulebook to its limits to minimise its tax bill.
Company filings showed Amazon's main UK company paid just £3.2m in corporation tax
on sales of £320m last year. However, the Seattle-based group has told investors its 2012 UK sales were £4.2bn.

As long as they are not breaking the law then there is no problem.
Better, of course, to have a more competitive tax system so they might move their corporate HQ here from California and we get the benefit in jobs and more corporation tax.
Simple, low taxes and flat taxes are the best way to deal with these issues.

'You do evil': MPs confront Google over 'devious' attempt to avoid paying UK tax - the day
after Amazon's own revelations
Internet giants on back foot after shopping giant admitted it receives more in government
grants than it pays in UK corporate tax
Google's tax policy is devious, unethical and far from the company's stated aim to 'do no evil', MPs said today.
In a damning indictment of the Internet giant members of the Public Accounts Committee said they did
not believe their claims that they were not effectively selling advertising in the UK.
They accused the company of a "calculated" attempt to avoid tax at a time of huge pressure on public finances.
"I think you do evil," the committee's chair Margaret Hodge told Google's European head of sales Matt Brittin.
Giving evidence to MPs on the Public Accounts Committee the head of Google sales in Europe Matt Brittin
insisted that all its sales were completed in Dublin.
