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.
What does this have to do with the EU? Companies should have to pay tax either way and it's not the EU's fault if they don't considering France and Italy are seemingly doing better at extracting it from Google.
