Shut down vodafone (again!)

Anon | 01.11.2010 03:38

Last saturday a group of activists shut down the central bristol vodafone store in protest at their tax dodging ways, this was one of over 20 stores successfully targeted around the country.

Lets do it again!
This is a great way to spread the belief that these cuts are truely unnessacary, and that we are definately not 'in this together' since whilst we pay with our services and our tax bills the richest in society pay nothing.

Although there has been some debate about the accuracy of the initial reporting (see http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2010/10/467056.html for example), it appears pretty conclusive that they (like most of their corporate peers) have been tax dodging to quite a large extent. They owe us at the very least around £1billiion, and the Indian government are chasing them for around £2.5billion in unpaid tax there!

So, whilst we don't want to get too reptative we think we should make the most of the public concionsness of the vodafone actions, and build on last saturdays sucesses by having a public picket of thier shop again this saturday.

Meet up either at castle park at 1pm, or outside the vodafone store in central broadmead at 1.30pm.
(Vodafone are at the pedestrianised 'cross roads'/openspace in broadmead, by one corner of the galleries, opposite BHS).

There will be a few placards, and some general anti-vodafone/anti-cuts leafles, we encourage others to bring thier own but request this is kept as a 'non sectarian' protest, ie you don't use it to promote your specific group (just the general anti-cuts movement).

Lets show the capatalists that they can't get away with it!
