UK figures £1.4 billion in sales, around £335 million in gross profit are totally normal for Apple, £25 million in dividends, and deferred tax of £6.5 million. The difference is put down to "expenses", but Apple hardly has any expenses in the UK perhaps shops and distribution - no Apple products made in the UK, no research or development in the UK. Like "quantitive easing", "creative accounting" is destroying our Western societies.
Meantime swimming pools, parks, libraries close, council assets sold off and private takeover of the NHS by stealth continues. The sheer self-interested indolence of our government and Parliament generally over the last forty years is staggering. They really don't give a stuff, do they?
