Dave Hartnett, head of HMRC, has spent the last few years shaking hands on sweetheart deals with multinational corporations. Vodafone were let off upwards of £6bn in tax, Goldman Sachs were let off over £10m in tax. By pure chance, Dave Hartnett also happens to be Whitehall's most wined and dined civil servant, accepting expensive dinners and drinks from companies such as KPMG, Ernst and Young, PWC and, of course, Goldman Sachs.

On 9th November Dave Hartnett was delivering the keynote speech at the Corporate Tax Conference, the biggest annual gathering of everyone who's anyone in corporate tax. Some UK Uncut activists dressed up as Vodafone and Goldman Sachs execs and surprised Dave to say a huge thank you for his kind favours.

  • Takes guts. Good on you!

  • Imagine how fucked up they will become when this kind of benign harassment takes place all the time. Taxis refusing to pick them up if they find their fares are banksters, bin-men forgetting to pick up their rubbish, postmen losing their mail, people following them; restaurants taking time over their food or bringing the wrong dish, or wine; etc, etc. If you can see that you can see that they're fucked.....they're fucked!

  • Now they are trying to sack Mr Mba (working for HMRC), just because he became whistleblower on similar scandals (Involving Goldman Sachs). So not only corrupt, but also vicious and mafia-like are these people in league with the financial elites. Time to do something!

  • Thanks guys.

  • aha wicked you guys are cool

  • Wow this is unreal! How on earth did you get past security?! Absolutely love it!

  • LOVE THIS - LOVE YOU GUYS - KEEP IT UP!
