Vodafone closed down in Oxford for refusing to pay taxes.

Several other protesters were outside the shop with a megaphone and a banner reading "£155 million cuts in Oxfordshire, £6 billion taxes dodged by Vodafone."
Chants of "you pay, we'll go" and "if you try and dodge your tax, we'll shut you down" were heard inside and outside the shop.
At 12.25 the police told the protesters inside the shop to go. They refused. Eventually, half an hour later, four cops and the store manager read a statement telling the protesters they would be arrested for trespass if they didn't leave. After a brief discussion, the protesters decided to leave.
At the time of writing, several of the protesters remain outside the shop discouraging customers from going in.
