Those of them involved in international business do not consider it unfortunate at all.Labour and the lib dems ... the conservatives ... don't want to change it because they see it as the unfortunate practice cost of international business.

Surely any company making profits in this country, should pay tax on those profits in this country? Tax rules shouldn't allow them to put costs against offices in another country?
They certainly both go in for quantity over quality.
Back on topic, what is it that The UK makes any more? Our unsuccessful manufacturers don't get bailed out by the taxpayer any more, so have gone. Many successful ones have been sold to foreign owners.
What is it that we make in large enough quantities to be able to get ourselves out of the mire?
Do you believe apple is a poor company, and that it makes the US no money, because its physical goods are made in china?
Thank you sir, I think that was the 2nd time I have been praised
Can't be DropClanger... (he's been praised twice now)
I'm not on about UK/US owned companies that manufacture elsewhere.
More concerned with successful British companies (Astra Zeneca, Cadburys, utilities, etc, etc) bought by foreign concerns, sometimes with false promises about keeping jobs in The UK.
Also a general moan about how we used to manufacture everything, but now just 'assemble' things for foreign owned companies.

Why not, other offices have costs, they will share services.
How far back you going? If you go too far you might end up chucking yourself out.The referendum would include ways to track down all illegals and their offspring.It doesn't matter how long they've lived here or what they have or havn't done they have no right to be here.

Have a read .
successive gov's over the past 55 years have failed to deal with the import/export deficit. In fact, I can't think of anything they have done for the benefit of the citizens. This should make it clear that voting for usual candidates will get the same results. You want change, not thru the establishment you won't. Ok that's outta the way. Exports will only increase by 2 ways, cost and quality. These 2 also apply to the home market, if the homers don't buy why would anyone else ? Next, currency exchange. Not being part of the euro [level playing field] costs everybody money on every exchange, therefore adding to the articles price. This is compounded by sterling being unbelievably strong. If exports have been bad when the pound was closer to parity with other currencies, how can exports improve when it is strong ? Trade figs were released for April it was a shock to all except me, I watched the pound getting stronger, I couldn't believe what politicians have been saying for the past 6 months. Now these buffoons are going to go to companies and tell them how to improve their exporting strategies. God almighty , patronising at the best insulting at the worst. You vote for this incompetence. Have a laugh when hear these morons talk about the economy and watch the exchange rate at the same time, then look at yourself and laugh some more
