Protesters assembled outside the Ritz hotel to voice their anger over the hotel-owners' tax avoidance schemes.

Anger over Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay's tax-dodging lead to a protest outside the Ritz hotel, which is owned by the billionaire twins.

Some banners called for the Barclay brothers to pay “fair for austerity”, while others simply stated that the “Barclay Bros Hate England”.

The activists were soon ushered away by hotel security.

It was recently revealed that the tax-dodgers cost the UK an aggregate loss that would be otherwise be sufficient to pay cover the national deficit.

The Barclay twins, who are officially registered in Monaco, are currently suing the HMRC for £1BN through their company Littlewoods.
