The GBP could on mass stop using these companies and spend their cash on companies that operate within the UK tax system paying back into the economy.

But the downside would be that these organisations employ a lot of people in the UK.

Within who's law......
not mine!
These businesses are creaming us for millions.......
and I totally agree........the GBP SHOULD blank em!
Absolutely!
I pay my taxes on the pittance that I earn......why the heck shouldn't they ?
