ATOS and G4S paid no corporation tax last year

[Beanz]

How can they be allowed to get away with it? The taxpayer gives them 2 billion pounds sterling and yet apparently neither turns a profit?

G4S are scum who screwed the Olympics, faked offenders for the tagging contract and are being investigated by the serious fraud office.

For sure, stories like this are becoming so normal now that I think many are now becoming somewhat immunised to these things. It bothers me sometimes when people say that I am looking for reasons to dislike the UK in some attempt to justify my self imposed exile when that isn't true. My dislike is because of stories like this and countless others which have really only got significantly worse over the past decade. I am just angry about what Britain has become. They can hand out money to banks, privatise everything, take away benefits, yet why is the Royal family never up for privatisation? They seem to be the last nationalised institution.

If corporations can avoid paying taxes then ordinary British people should be able to as well. Why should you co-operate in a system that has a playground system of rules that says my rich friends can get away with murder, but you poor rotters should shut the fuck up or we will pay the teachers to beat you. That's bollocks.

I saw also today that The Tories have attempted to hide away their decade of lies and broken promises. The entire system is a joke and a travesty. I just find it upsetting that there appeared to be genuine changes for the better in the wake of WW2, but since I have been alive, the UK has been in a process of permanent rot and the only way it been able to stay relevent has been to prove itself one of the most insidious, corrupt, and undemocratic countries on earth.
