I just don't buy the dog-whistle soundbites about big business and the financial elite; I agree that there are issues around fair taxation and sharp practices that need to be addressed, but without entrepreneurs and wealth creators like Branson, the economy would collapse.
Ironically, we're in a stronger position to do that stuff as part of the EU - the French finance authority for example, just raided Google's offices for tax compliance offences.

If we are worried about anyone allowing big business to "get away with it", we don't have to look too far along Downing Street for some examples of how the rich and wealthy use legal loopholes and other methods to heavily reduce their tax

The ruling class in the UK have always looked after themselves and their own, usually to the detriment of the less well off.
Let's all vote to give them an even freer reign over the masses
Look after your own and squeeze the last drop of life from the poor and unfortunate, the Tories will love that.
