Nor me, as it was already revealed on The Revolution Will Be Televised, if I’m right in saying. And you were missing out if you didn’t watch that series, it was hilarious, and arguably the best thing BBC Three had ever made.

I must admit this really didn’t surprise me. But they must raise a lot of VAT for our country at least.

You mean Apple is not honest? Only in it for the money? They don’t want to improve our lives? Corporate BAS###DS!

I agree and it’s not just Apple, it’s everyone. It’s about time that everyone paid there fair share of Tax.

If they can get away with it, of course they will do it. The whole reason why Apple are where they are is down to one man’s scruples or lack thereof.

Yep. All those stories about the Zaibatsus running the world are not entirely fictional any more, except with the way that the Japanese giants of tech are falling (Sharp announced this morning that they were shaky, for example) I expect that the Americorps are going to be those ruling the world.

And this is a large part of why the world’s financial situation is what it is. What’s worse is that the dystopian futures you read about in sci-fi are actually unfolding in front of us, in our lifetimes, as a result.
