Plenty to criticise perhaps (though the thousands employed by multinationals and their families wont be joining you) The alternative is to impose higher taxes on them, they are then gone somewhere else along with their jobs.

SF are proposing increasing the tax paid by multinationals - in 2019 these firms were responsible for 27% of all employment, 45% of all Income Tax receipts, and paid 79% of all Corporation Tax. SF are proposing to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Yet more nonsensical populism.

Nobody is asking them to destitute themselves. 24 billion out of Apples profits in escrow for years now, it hasn't hurt them or their cashflow or ability to trade one bit. Beggars belief what they are ferreting away. you can't ask joe public to pay through the nose if you allow this...simple.
