So, Clegg and the Lib Dems are back in their "wonderland" mode already, where they can promise anything because 2 years from now it's no going to make any difference?
The LDs are going to need at least a decade for that to work again for them.
TS, did you highlight the second excerpt as well?
ah, I didn't notice it was at the same event.
Didn't notice the Irish complaining about Google routing its profits there. Funny that.
TS, that was the gimmick. Ecah paper chooses whom to write about to serve its own ends.
AC, correct. It is a zero-sum game. As the UK's corp tax rate is lower than in many countries, there must be a fair bit of profit routed through the UK which is not actually UK-sourced profits.
