[Margaret Pilkington]

Bankers are not in the business to be philanthropic, they are in the business of making a profit.......I have already said my piece on people who use perfectly legal tax avoidance schemes....and that stands...they do it because they can!
They do it because successive governments have turned a blind eye to the big guys and the deals done by HMRC.
Any government over the past five decades could have closed the loopholes....but none of them have done so.

I agree that if all huge corporations paid their just dues to society then we could have a better health service, better infrastructure(roads, public amenities) and benefits that allowed people who need them to live a life, instead of just having an existence.
Maybe when the politicians standing for office in the next election come around doorstepping for votes we could bring up these questions and see what their response is.
(I will have a spare pair of knickers handy in case I wet myself with the hilarity of their answers)
