Starbucks attracts traffic

BBC News - UK Uncut protests over Starbucks 'tax avoidance': "UK Uncut says the government should be clamping down on tax avoidance by Starbucks and other companies rather than making cuts to the welfare state.
Organisers said they wanted to show the impact of government cuts on women, and to highlight this set out to transform Starbucks stores into "refuges, creches and homeless shelters".
Rosie Rogers from UK Uncut told BBC News "We're absolutely delighted with the events... Hundreds of people turned out on a cold Saturday morning to exercise their right to protest."
Ms Rogers said there were no immediate plans to hold any similar demonstrations but they would continue to boycott Starbucks.
UK Uncut said it had heard from protesters gathering at 10 outlets in London, Birmingham, Oxford and Nottingham.
