VAT's included so it's not like I'm deliberately avoiding tax (unlike a whole bunch of others - stand up Mr J Carr of TV land, one amongst many scoundrels and MPs).

I'm boycotting Amazon and Starbucks as my own little "two fingers" gesture to them. As long as we support these people with our wallets we give them a positive incentive to behave immorally and suck the life out of our country. They can FRO if they don't like it here.
