Google is one of the Church of England's 20 most valuable equity holdings.

Perhaps the Archbishop chap can stop banging on about corporation tax.

It does raise a question though - can someone argue about wrongness while his organisation simultaneously gains from it because it is perfectly legal?

The Church should be paying full tax and receive zero subsidy.

I have quite a bit of my savings invested in shares.  If you start putting moral criteria on them, then I am pretty sure that I could end up with zero holdings.  I personally just draw the line at Tobacco.  I think you can still invest in a company even if you don't like some of what they do.  Minor bits of hypocrisy aren't so bad, this isn't twitter.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

The Church and hypocrisy, who'd have thunk it.
