Out of curiosity, do you buy stuff from Amazon?

Are you being deliberately obtuse or evasive or funny? I have no idea. I do know that saying Yes or No to the simple question as to whether or not you use Amazon is not going to give me or the best hacker on the planet the ability to phish your details.
This is getting boring. I ask the question because these threads are really tedious in the extreme. Life is unfair. Life is a bitch. We all know that there are injustices and unfairness in the world. Why keep going on about it? We either put up or shut up.
If you or anyone concerned about companies not paying their taxes use Amazon then you are contributing to this unfairness as Amazon is registered outside the UK (Luxembourg, I believe). So to all those ringing their hands in anguish, do something positive. Stop using Amazon. Stop using any company that you consider does not pay it's fair share of taxes. Don't use Vodafone or take any drugs that GSK make.

Do you shop at Tesco, buy Nike products, buy anything from Amazon, or HMV online, or a host of other businesses?

When I win millions on the national lottery, I will set up a store in the heart of London that sells every one of their products for 50 pence. It will be called "We Will Break The Tax Dodgers" and it will expand into all of the major centres of the UK until there is a change.

Why not start a few threads on Platform Three so that we can see the cut of your jib ... and then you can guage from the response as to whether it's the rest of us .. or you

How about answering that question yourself, Flossie? All you holier than thou hypocrites who bang on about News International and how you will never subscribe to Sky or buy The Times....do you vet every company you purchase from? Because if you do, I think you will find your choices severely limited.Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.
