Blitz the benefit cheats AND the tax dodgers

Apparently Rupert Murdoch's The Sun has today started a campaign to Blitz benefit cheats http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/politics/4161400/Blitz-the-12bn-fiddlers.html.

I've got no problem with that at all. As someone who managed a Benefit Fraud Investigation team prior to ministry, I've seen how much benefit cheats cost UK taxpayers each year. According to The Sun the fiddlers cost £1.2bn each year. SO well don The Sun for campaigning on this.

But wait a minute. Why stop there. How about starting a campaign for the government to Blitz people who fiddle their taxes. You know like Barclays Bank who avoided £500m of tax http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17181213 (For Sun readers and those not good at maths that's just under half of the amount swindled by benefit cheats each year.)

Or how about Vodafone who owed £8bn in tax (though thanks to some wheeler dealing only paid £1.25bn)? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/mps-hit-out-at-vodafone-tax-letoff-6258782.html

I wonder why The Sun didn't campaign about those? Or is it because the last thing The Sun wants to do is run a campaign looking at the questionable tax repayment of big business. After all that may mean the spotlight being turned on Rupert Murdoch and NewsCorp. He has got a track record in this after all http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/special_report/1999/02/99/e-cyclopedia/302366.stm

I for one am thoroughly fed up with this government and its cronies having one rule for the poor, the disadvantaged and the public sector, whilst letting large companies get away with it. And yes David Cameron I suppose in this respect I am being anti business.
