More Tesco Tax Avoidance

You state absolutely explicitly that you don't agree with it. (still quoted above)

I wasn't suggesting that there is anything says you would, just that it surprises me a little that you don't.

You misunderstand me, I'll put it another way. I have never said anything which would lead a reasonable person to become surprised that I disagree with the proposition.

As above.

OK. I did misunderstand. I thought you were claiming you hadn't said anything to indicate you disagreed with the statement.

I was just basing it on the fact that (as you agree) you tend to take the more libertarian attitude, and I would expect most people on that side of the fence to think that taxation is inherently a bad thing, even though it may be necessary.

No problem.

I don't see why Taxation is incompatible with libertarian principles simply because in exchange for paying say Income & Council Tax we have liberties & benefits which we would not otherwise have or enjoy.
