What do you folks think of Emma Thompson and her husbands threat to not pay anymore taxes until Britains larbe HSBC bank pays its fair share of taxes?
Emma Thompson and her husband, Greg Wise, are threatening to boycott the tax man until HSBC executives have been prosecuted for operating tax avoidance schemes. The world’s second largest bank has its headquarters in London, but British prosecutors have filed no charges over allegations that the bank’s Swiss arm was helping wealthy customers avoid paying their share of tax.
