I see big benevolent Facebook is going to change its practices so that they can pay more tax to UK PLC. Great, about time too, but on the subject of timing is this possibly just an example of BigCorp trying to influence the outcome of the referendum? Let's face it, one of the main concerns about staying in the EU is TTIP and the power that agreement would give to huge companies. If they see it that way, these people would hate to see us leave the EU wouldn't they so why not, in the run up to the vote, take the opportunity to show they mean us no harm and are all soft and squidgy after all?

Of course it could all just be a convenient co-incidence for the IN campaign.
