Patent chasers, like ambulance chasers, give me the urge to vomit.

...and another thing : NOBODY IS USING TAX AVOIDANCE SHEMES. Stop using this wrong & misleading description. They employ accountants to LEGALLY REDUCE their tax bill. You and I do the same, only on a smaller scale.

Never mind that "A company's profits should be taxed in the country where the value is created. Apple, Ireland and the United States all agree on this principle." The EU is run by faceless, un-elected "intelligent people" who really don't give a damn - all the see is a united states of europe dream. That's why Great Britain very wisely decided that they want back the power to make decisions in their own country. Apple would be wise to move their setup to GB.

I'd rather have my company based in a country that's not ruled by a heavy-handed dictator.

Of course not - how can you share something you don't have ?
