Corporate Tax Evasion

As one of the inhabitants of the countries that are facilitating this kind of behaviour, I'd like to first say "Neener neener neener, we're getting money that belongs to you" to the Brits. And second, that the only way to stop this is finally making the European Union not just a lame experiment, but a fully operational and legislative orginization, like the nation states of Europe are now. Make the nation states governments executive bodies for the laws passed in Unity!

Well fuck me, that means less money for us! Damned Brits!In any case, couldn't this particular case be solved by a European wide tax? Let's call it Unitytax, that has a nice ring to it.

Yes, unfortunately. But really, what alternative do we (or, for that matter, they) have? Do we want a strong unified Europe, or a weak conglomeration of nation states that are still squabling amongst eachother over every little wishywashy thing they don't like? Reality will catch up to them, The rest of Europe will make it a necessity. You guys need The Union, and The Union would be strengthened by your inclusion, rising ever higher, and claiming its rightful place in the world.And then we can take on those moneygrabbin' bandits!
