I should like to see several former Tory government ministers in prison. Not for incompetence, because that isn't a crime, but for misconduct in public office associated with turning the pandemic into an enrichment opportunity and for gross negligence manslaughter.

But if the government start taxing the likes of Starbucks & they leave, Are we seriously saying that Britain will stop drinking coffee?
£3 billion in UK sales & they don't want to pay tax?
It's time to get of the merry-go-round & use our smaller, local retailers who will pay their taxes.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

The names of multinational corporations cheating on billions in tax were kept from the public. Our governments had the tax records but didn’t make them public. Doing so could’ve recovered hundreds of billions in tax.

So, the “Royal” Family had no problem with Andrew’s sex trafficking but have a real issue with all the bad publicity it was bringing them.
And the bootlickers are trying to portray it as some great moral stand by Charles and his hideous family.
