These corporations getting sweetheart deals from HM Revenue - if they paid their proper taxes it could have avoided cuts to vital services. Outrageous. They keep their super profits while we get hit with 20% VAT to make the shortfall up.

One of the few British companies that is a global leader in its field. Of course providing telecommunication isn't a 'vital service' either. That both articles still refer to a figure even HMRC have branded as nonsense is testimony to the journalistic quality on display.

Well what else would that organisation say given the accusation? A full audit of this decision should be made, but wont because of vested interests - not the least of which is Osborne's close association with Vodaphone.

It stinks. Typical of the Tories.

What else would you say given your clear distaste for anything corporate? You have to remember that Private Eye trade on such conspiracy theories.

You're joking me? But clearly it's OK as you can mop the bill up from the working class.

It's the gall of them that irritates me, the hideous Tory f*cks.
