See where all your cash spent in Tesco's is ending up, I am glad I chose not to shop there.

Good on them, if I could do something like that I would definitely be doing the same. We pay obscene amounts of tax and not just regarding pay packets either.

All this money generated by tax from companies or workers in my view is political fraud by the goverment and it disgusts me, its not like were seeing any benefits from it all in return.

This is total madness...Why can they not just pay the tax like everyone else....Tescos seems to be getting away with alot,where is it going to stop.

Sorry folks but if your going to boycott companies for tax evasion (sorry being tax efficient!!) then you are not going to be buying much in the UK

When you read this stuff it really makes you realise what a joke Gordon Brown is when he is about to abolish the 10% tax band on April 1st this year a move which will hit the low paid workers in the country whilst leaving this lot alone
Beeg Hugheeeeeeeeeeeeee
