Topshop Protests

TOPSHOP'S flagship Oxford Circus store was closed for three hours on Saturday morning after 200 people staged a sit-in protest against Arcadia boss Sir Phillip Green, who is currently advising the government. The group, from UK Uncut, is targeting high street stores to protest against tax strategies.
"Tax avoidance is a big issue and we believe that this is the alternative to the cuts the government are making," a spokesperson for the group told theDaily Mail. However, London shoppers did not see the funny side: "I just want to get into the shop. It's not very festive of them," one Topshopshopper said.
Green and his wife Tina are residents of Monaco, however the company is registered in the UK and the Topshop magnate has said that he pays "tens and tens of millions of pounds" in tax.


Interesting : How will PR of Phillip Green deal with the crisis? I've trying find more information see what the spokesman say but nothing come out yet. So what you guys say? For me I will try to make a statement as soon as I can. To keep the business going. But I'm wondering what if Phillip Green is really wrong ; what they going to say? How they will cover this things?

GRRRR!! it's so hard to find sth interesting :'(
