Vodafone shops blockaded in tax protest
Campaigners claiming Vodafone has been let off an unpaid tax bill of £6bn spent the day blockading several shops.

Campaigner Ed Brompton said: "This money - £6bn - could be spent on schools, housing and hospitals."

But a Vodafone spokesman denied the tax bill reports, adding: "We pay our taxes in the UK and all of the other countries in which we operate."

A spokesman for HM Revenue and Customs said of the £6bn: "That number is an urban myth."

Is it an urban myth ?
