But they aren't doing that. Retch has cut huge numbers of jobs and closed down local papers. The Mail has cut jobs as has News Internationl (Murdoch). Their tax doesn't create jobs because they don't pay it.
The only "wealth" they are creating is their own. Offshore.
Nope. The number of people in employment may go up and down but if he hadn't set up the Daily Mail (however much anyone dislikes the publication) there would be less jobs that there currently are. But in the end, businesses are not charities to pay the workers, as you should know.
Apart from DMGT paying profits tax in the UK, there is all the income and payroll tax from their employees, VAT, business rates etc etc. You have to look see past the 'nasty rich business owner' stereotypes and look at the overall contributions of the businesses that they own in the UK.
