UK Uncut has called for a day of action on January 30th as apparently that’s the day before the tax return deadline!?
A group will be meeting outside Pompey Vodaphone on commercial road at 1pm. You are asked to bring banners, noisy things and most importantly, yourself.
Below is a section from their site about why Vodaphone are targets, see everything else they got going on here: www.ukuncut.org.uk.
For the last ten years Vodafone have been fighting tooth and nail to avoid paying the UK government around £6bn in tax. Court case followed court case, and eventually HM Revenue and Customs won a decisive victory. Vodafone were on the ropes and all that was needed was a couple more government knocks to finally make the communication giant pay up. But instead of forcing through the deal, the exchequer, run by George Osborne, let Vodafone off. It was one of the most shameless, blatant and costly examples of corporate-government cronyism in years. But at a time when the government are insisting upon massive cuts in public spending, the deal is particularly hard to swallow.
