Boris Don't sneer at Starbucks over tax payment

London Mayor Boris Johnson has urged people not to "sneer" at the coffee chain Starbucks over its decision to pay £20m in corporation tax.
The company, which has come under considerable criticism for paying nothing over the past three years, announced the move earlier this month.
Critics described this as a desperate attempt to improve publicity.
But Mr Johnson told the BBC, Starbucks was showing "corporate responsibility" and the issue was "difficult".
The company has paid £8.6m in corporation tax in its 14 years of trading in the UK and nothing in the last three years, despite UK sales of nearly £400m in 2011.
