Tax structures used by Amazon to route billions of pounds from sales to British customers through Luxembourg, paying negligible UK tax, are among a series of international loopholes earmarked for closure in a programme of reforms backed by G20 nations.
Oh.
Just Amazon UK?
The “once-in-a-century” move to patch up holes in international tax rules was unveiled in Moscow by George Osborne and fellow finance ministers from France and Germany, who have together been the driving force behind calls for reform.
Ah
“It is clear multinational companies have developed an unprecedented know-how for minimising their worldwide tax pressure,” he said.
*cough*
“These situations are literally impossible to explain to our fellow citizens.”
Um..
Osborne agreed: “People and companies have to pay the taxes that are due, it’s the only way to operate in a fair and competitive society … Our message is clear: everyone must pay their fair share of tax.”

But I can see that there’s something amazing beyond this town tonight,
And I’ll concede the eyes of this beholder are older not wiser tonight
When I was a boy I had just dreams and no fears
the sound of the city was music to my ears
the moon and the stars are reflections in your tears
and I am free tonight

Classy wifi network in Dublin city centre. For the record, she doesn’t…she’s dead…and also for the record, not of aids…just kidding she is alive and well…I think…maybe I should call her to make sure.
A short film directed by Adriel de la Torre featuring the amazing, transitory work of designer (don’t call him an artist) Peter Han, who teaches an approach to drawing he describes as ‘dynamic sketching’.
Han encourages his students to slough off their traditional notions of art by drawing in chalk and having their work quickly erased.
The idea is to free them from the idea that art is permanent, thereby compelling them to learn by their mistakes.
