Some figures from this morning's news -

Amazon UK, sales income £4.3 billion
Amazon UK, tax paid £2.4 million (0.1%*)
Amazon UK , government grants received £2.5 million

Does anyone know what Amazon does to get handouts from the British people?
I suppose we should be grateful that they don't employ neo-nazis to terrorise their British employees as they do with their German workforce.

* I think it's less than that as %age of income, but that was the BBC's figure.
