    Loopholes are legal, benefit frauds are criminals and con artists.

    Now you are showing your true colours! Tax avoidance makes Britain Great, pathetic! You want the UK to be a off shore tax haven, how do you think that would work for the majority of workers in the UK?

    Loopholes are legal until they are made illegal, but the Tories do not want to do that since they and their friends are making money from it. When your boss pisses down your back, do you believe him when he tells you its raining!

    It'll also give the EU a run for its money too.

    So getting back to your original post, if you think we should unite behind you to make the UK an offshore tax haven you can go whistle dixie, I would rather civil war. And creating a tax haven was not in the lying tory agenda!

    So, it's legal.
    You seem to think it's the same as committing benefit fraud, for some reason, which is a crime for obvious reasons.

    No, I think it is worse, because it is presently legal! It costs more and increases division.

    and it also attracts employers such as Starbucks who don't (or didn't) report a profit so paid no UK corporation tax, however, those employed at Starbucks at the salary level and all those who Starbucks employed who earn enough, pay income tax.
    Loophole 101.

    You take the loophole, you lose the jobs, you lose the income tax.

    There are other bigger better loopholes that require more thought than operating at an affordable loss, but that one is the most basic of all.

    Incredible, you think that if Starbucks have to pay tax people will stop drinking coffee! No what would happen is that small British owned companies would be able to compete with corporate tax dodgers! Really you are showing complete ignorance of how markets work.

    It'll drive Starbucks out of the country and with them, their jobs.
    These are MULTINATIONAL foreign owned companies that operate in the UK.
    Start adding a bunch of pressure to these people, and they're gone.
    The same pressure Theresa May wants to take off finance so London looks better than Frankfurt for JP Morgan.

    In Jeremy Corbyn's Britain, all these companies would go and not look back.

    Jobs, jobs, and jobs.
    So what if it's British owned?

    Right now American banks are moving from London to Paris or Frankfurt because Brexit made the EU look better than London however, Tax Haven makes Britain look better than the EU.

    If it is British owned and paying the correct taxes then it puts money back into our economy, that's what!
    I cannot believe any British person aspires to Britain being nothing more than a tax haven!

    It's not Remainer's fault we left the EU.
    Driving banks from London.
    I voted remain, don't think for one second I want to say bye to those banks.
    So if it takes turning Britain into a Tax Haven to keep business in Britain against the EU, so be it.
    Why in God's name would I want to leave the EU and suffer Jeremy Corbyn and his grubby mits is beyond me.

    I voted remain...
    Where I voted remain, voted remain...

    I tried my best, but now I see Merkel calling for the EU to unite against Brexit.

    Exactly how many banks do you think will leave because of the demise of the "payroll Industry"? You have gone from, construction, to Starbucks and now finally Banks! I think you have lost site of the point of your argument.

    How about the nuclear defence industry?

    The payroll industry is valid and helps everybody from the labour to the management.

    How do you think welfare is going to save Britain?

    They're leaving because the EU wants to block access to the EURO currency.
    We retain this access and make Brexit a haven, they return along with everyone else who wants trade with the UK.
