Vandalism of Starbucks

[hamatik]

I nicked a starbucks mug once without even buying a coffee in order to get my own back. Unfortunately I actually nicked the mug off my housemate so I'm not sure if it did any good. It's a nice mug though, very big.

Some valid points so if you do believe them then simply not use Starbucks. I dont have a problem with a boycott, petitions or anything like that. I just get annoyed when these extremists turn to criminal damage.

 

Allowing people to go without vital social care services and rationing healthcare so that executives and shareholders can have even more money is extremist. Compared to that, slopping a bit of paint on a shop front is nothing.

There is no point in blaming Starbucks for being tax efficient. They are doing what they should for the shareholders of the company in maximising their return.

 

If you wanted to blame someone, blame the government. If they really wanted to, they could have closed the loopholes in the tax system that allows them to do what they do. Past governments be it Labour or Tory have just a blind eye to the whole issue.

 

Of course we can blame people for making choices that adversely affect other people. Other companies pay corporation tax on their UK profits, avoidance and evasion are not compulsory they are a choice. Otherwise we are arguing for a principle that says it's ok to make any choice as long as it's driven by self interest.

Yes indeed. You can't beat Camp coffee. Mind you, it doesn't taste the same since the label went all PC.

 

I used to see camp coffee in the shops all the time, haven't seen it for ages. How is the label PC?

Great name for a coffee
