UK Uncut plans more tax avoidance protests for 30 Jan
by Nick Huber
14 Jan 2011

<snip>

UK UNCUT, a fast-growing group of activists protesting against corporate tax avoidance and public spending cuts, has said that its next national day of protests will be on 30 January.

The protest group - which last year forced the closure of a number of Vodafone and Topshop stores after activists staged sit-ins - said its next protests will "ram home the message that the cuts are ideological and unnecessary."



UK Uncut, which uses social media technology to organise protests, said it was planning to use Twitter, a micro-blogging site, to give training sessions in "non-violent direct action techniques", as well as legal information, and "online brainstorms for tactics and targets that people feel ‘have got away with it lightly so far'".

Clare Collins, who supports UK Uncut, said: "Whilst ordinary people are rushing to complete our tax forms, threatened with fines if we miss the deadline, rich corporations and individuals are dodging £25bn of tax every year."

"They can employ armies of lawyers and accountants to exploit legal loopholes and dodge billions in tax they owe to us. And the government doesn't lift a finger to do anything to stop this, if they did, these cuts wouldn't be necessary."

Union Allows You To Vote For Your Favourite Tax Dodger
14/01/2011
By Claire West

Members of the public are being asked to choose who they think contributes the most to the rising problem of tax dodging, which costs our economy billions of pounds every year.

An online poll, launched today on the False Economy website, invites people to choose from a list of ten candidates nominated by the Tax Justice Network for their part in tax avoidance - an issue which has sparked high street protests by UK Uncut, a new network of activists.

The list includes Philip Green's Arcadia Group and Vodafone, as well as HM Revenue and Customs for cutting jobs and chancellor George Osborne for his part in making the UK a safe haven for tax avoiders.

- For information and to vote visit: www.taxshirkers.org.uk

The competition, being run by False Economy, the Public and Commercial Services union, the TUC and charity War on Want, closes at midnight on 30 January and the organisers will visit the winner to present them with their prize.

Clifford Singer, campaign director of False Economy, said:

"David Cameron said we're all in this together. But while those at the bottom and in the middle suffer for the consequences of the banking crash, some of our richest individuals and corporations think they can get away without paying their fair share. It's time to clamp down on tax avoidance."

7. I Thought So Too...

The conventional wisdom is that all those younger voters who showed up in 2008, but not so much in 2010, will be back in force for 2012. Supposedly to re-flex their political muscles, and with the purpose of supporting the future of this country.

This thing happening in the UK, would be a good way to focus those energies here.

No???

6. The people of the world can now join forces to stop

the Global terrorists (no, not Muslims, the Financiers who have tanked the world economy and taken off with the money while forcing the little people in each country to pay for their corruption) in their tracks. THEY were organized world wide. But the people were fighting in their individual countries and didn't have much power as the New World Order crowd have been without borders for a long time.

Now, a little late, but better late than never, we the people of various countries who are the victims of their crimes, can, and some are, join forces to make it a lot more difficult for them to get away with their crimes.

And if the people are successful, they will probably shut down Twitter, MySpace, Facebook et al. Look what they did to Wikileaks.

9. if the teabaggers weren't just the front for their masters - who don't give a crap about them -

this is what they'd be protesting too.

after this info is vetted, I hope people in the U.S. will start to hold corporations accountable here too.

hey, if they're people now, can't they go to jail for tax fraud?

17. ''What are their names? And on what streets do they live?''

David Crosby wrote an outstanding song on this subject:

"What Are Their Names"

(David Crosby, Neil Young, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh and Michael Shrieve)

Instrumental (Electric Guitars)

I wonder who they are
The men who really run this land
And I wonder why they run it
With such a thoughtless hand

What are their names
And on what streets do they live
I'd like to ride right over
This afternoon and give
Them a piece of my mind
About peace for mankind

Peace is not an awful lot to ask

Instrumental Ending (Electric Guitars)
