Cameron goes after easy target, rather than target Amazon™ .

So David Cameron is quite prepared to “go after” those who give to Charities in order to claw back some of the tax relief those “givers” receive on their donations to Charity, BUT I have heard nothing so far from this Government on how they are going to stop the “loophole” that Amazon ™ use to avoid paying ANY tax on the BILLIONS of £ of sales it makes to the UK public. WHY should Amazon ™ not be forced to pay taxes, after all they are using a domain name whose name servers are held on a database in the UK by a UK based Registry (Nominet) and such basis allows USA to claim jurisdiction on all .com domains whose Registry is in the USA. So Mr Cameron, why do you not go after Amazon™ ,after all they are taking BILLIONS of £ out of the UK and not paying any taxes on it !!!!!! That surely is more important than going after tax relief on Charitable donations.

David Cameron and the coalition Govt should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves that they have let a 65 year old innocent man be extradited to the USA where he will have to 2 years or more in a gang infested Jail in Texas before he even comes before the Texas Court to prove his innocence. Cameron had every chance to stop the extradition but he failed. Please read the article and comments below;

A retired businessman and pillar of the Kent community today said he expected to have to join a gang to survive in prison after being handed over to US marshals over an arms dealing allegation.

Chris Tappin, who has fought a two-year battle against extradition, faces up to 35 years in jail if convicted of conspiring to sell components for Iranian missiles.

“The Conservative government, while in opposition, promised to reform the law and they failed to do so and they’ve let me down, they’ve let you down, they’ve let the whole country down. I think it’s a shame, a disgrace.”

Mr Tappin was handcuffed and seated between two US marshals for the flight to the US, which is due to land in Texas around 4pm local time.
