It isn't just this government at fault...although it is the only government which can actively do something right now...but previous governments have allowed large companies to get away with avoiding tax at the rate we pay.....this is not the fault of the companies(they have done nothing illegal - but they have been immoral), but the fault of the governments...both past and present.

Yep, Cameron used that one too. Blame Blair, blame Brown, blame anyone but me. But as you say, "it's the only government that can do something right now." But they're NOT doing anything right now, except letting these companies off the hook then using smokescreen tactics to divert our attention from it.
