I try and avoid the big coffee chains for this reason (they're all as bad as each other) and go for local independents where possible. The coffee's usually better quality too.

Likewise. Sadly too many people can't be arsed and use the convenience of large chain stores.

I don't understand going to coffee shops. In hate the places. Buy the crap, you had to go to town for then either go home asap or go to the pub.

Have you seen that Loaf has started doing coffee and food as well as the best bread in town?

Oh and if you're in Kings Heath Maison Mayci is very good (the fit waitresses are an added bonus!).

Unfortunately when you see the likes of Bernie Eccleston doing deals with HMRC then it just makes the whole thing a farce.

I know when I had a tax bill to pay as much as I plead, beg, cry and tell the odd porkie they still won't let me off.

I offered to do the washing up for a year and they still wouldn't budge

This one person has made sure his letter has hit the national press and it's all over social media.

One person can make a different.

Yep. They're doing very well. They have queues outside on a Saturday morning before they open.

I hope he can make a difference and it only takes one person to start something, so let's hope this guy is that guy as he makes a good and valid point IMO.

As long as big multinationals continue to fund political parties and MPs them nothing will change.
