Cameron's Speech at Davos

[Pete]

I'm impressed with Cameron's speech today:

"David Cameron on Thursday said trade, tax and transparency would be the three themes of Britain's presidency of the G8 this year.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the prime minister strongly attacked companies that avoid paying their fair share of tax and which indulge in corrupt business practices in poor countries.

Cameron said aggressive tax avoidance meant fewer resources for public services and delivered a sideswipe at the coffee giant Starbucks, which has been under attack since revealing it pays little corporation tax in the UK.

"Companies need to wake up and smell the coffee, because the customers who buy from them have had enough", the prime minister said."

Now lets see if it has any discenable effect.

If only this David Cameron were in government, then he might be able to do something effective about it, rather than leaving it to customer boycotts.
