Vodafone - Tax Avoidance Bad; Child Abuse Worse.

Last weekend Notts Uncut were protesting outside Vodafone. They'd dropped the shutters and a ten year old boy was looking through the shutters when a member of staff inside the shop slammed her hand into the shutter forcing it into his face. This was witnessed by around 20 people.

His dad went into the shop the following day to complain and the store manager agreed the member of staff's behaviour had been unacceptable and promised a written apology from Vodafone to the boy and a personal apology from the member of staff.

We went to Vodafone today for him to receive his apology and Vodafone have now decided that no incident took place and no apology would be made. After imparting this news they pulled the shutters down again so Notts Uncut maintained a presence outside the shop until they closed up and sent their staff home at 3.30.

We'll be there again tomorrow from 11am.

Vodafone need to know that it's not ok to avoid tax and it's not ok to attack children then lie about it.

Nice to have an apology, but...

If one of you had done this, you'd have been arrested on the spot.

If Vodaphone gave a written apology you'd have evidence by way of an admission, then you can sue them, or even worse, give them some bad press! with impunity. Why do the police NEVER admit doing anything wrong?
