Deloitte boss to the UK government: stop this democracy nonsense

From the Treasure Islands blog:

Back from hols, and I'll start with a story from yesterday's Telegraph newspaper in the UK:

David Sproul, senior partner and chief executive of Deloitte UK, said that a number of companies the firm had been advising about a move to the UK have put their plans on hold as a result of the mixed messages on tax.

It's never enough, is it? The UK is rapidly and aggressively deepening its offerings as a corporate tax haven, but oh no: that isn't nearly good enough. The tweet that originally alerted me to this story summarised the Deloitte man's statement very nicely.
