Threes tie up with Vodaphone

Is anyone else very disappointed that Three are tying up with Vodaphone? Smarty "the honest company" will now be part of the Tax Avoidance company Vodaphone. A company who openly admit they actively avoid paying UK tax to line pockets of shareholders. 

I for one, will be 'dumping' the 'honest' Smarty for a really honest company.

    PeterVi_1930290  Hang on a moment!!! Smarty is owned by Hutchinson and 3, so I'm not sure you can totally lay the blame at their feet - they do as they are told.

    A 'really honest company' - please let me know when you manage to find one because it will depend very much on your definition of the word. Companies run by virtue of having shareholders who invest in them. Those shareholders are frequently big outfits themselves e.g. pension funds and are interested in one thing only......profit! Sorry, but that is the brutal truth IMHO.
