Tax protests move on …. to Top Shop

Posted on

I gather a Top Shop store in the West End has been occupied by tax protestors. A report says:

"Philip Green, national thief, pay your tax or we won't leave!" and "Philip Green's taxation could pay for Education" are two of the chants causing Top Shop in Oxford Street to try turning up the music to drown out the protests in Oxford Streets Top Shop flagship store.

One Top Shop employee begged flash mobbers to trash the store, explaining that even though Top Shop's profits have risen by 19%, employees are to receive a measly £5 bonus.

I have to say I sincerely hope they do no such thing.

But I also note this argument that they’re making:

We are educating the Market as they marketise our education!

It’s one good reason why this sort of event is likely to roll, and roll and roll.

These students are rightly angry.
