Shiredenfreude!

Shire Plc are fighting NHS rulings restricting access to expensive drug treatments whilst simultaneously moving their headquarters to Ireland to reduce the amount of UK tax they pay!

Just who do they think funds the NHS!?!

Oh dear, another company moving out. What a surprise.

However, It's the taxpayer that funds it. They just won't be in that group any more. They are no different from the EU and other organisations that lobby for changes that they, and others, benefit from but do not pay for. At least with this case we have the option to say No. Even though it is a valid case imo.

I think this shows how the policies of the current government is doing nothing but harm. removing medicine from people that would benefit and driving companies from our shores.
