This Mod's favourite beef, apart from Ukip, is mass corporate tax avoidance. Some estimates put it at an annual cost of £40m, some £80m, We've even seen it at £120m.
Right now Google are in the dock (while Starbucks, Boots and Amazon are keeping their heads down.)
Naturally Ukip, using any excuse to attack the EU - whether valid or not - try to turn the Google Story on it's head by saying that that "the EU rules actually stop us taxing Google fairly".
This is not just a huge lie, it's probably the biggest political lie of the year so far.
At the point where we were going to write about it, 'a liberal life' did much better so here is their post in full.
