This past Saturday, members of the activist group UK Uncut staged protests at several Topshop locations to voice their anger at Sir Phillip Green.
The Topshop boss has been accused of tax evasion after he directly paid his wife and owner of the UK retailer's parent company Arcadia Group, over $1 billion. Since Green's wife lives in Monaco, he never had to pay UK taxes on the large sum of money.
One protester vented:
"Philip Green is a multi-billionaire tax avoider, and yet is regarded by David Cameron as an appropriate man to advise the government on austerity. His missing millions need to be reclaimed and invested into public services, not into his wife's bank account."
Phillip has maintained he pays his taxes in the UK and is doing nothing wrong.

Almost a week after presenting her final collection for Topshop, Kate Moss is already moving on to her next design project.
The supermodel is rumored to be working on a line of luxurious lingerie with Topshop's Phillip Green.
Kate currently models for Brazilian lingerie company Valisere and previously for Agent Provocateur, so the girl knows her panties.
Bras on the other hand, are a completely different story.

All good mediocre things must come to an end.
Kate Moss has decided to end her partnership with Topshop.
There have been rumors going around that it was actually Sir Phillip Green who put the kibosh on Cokate's designing gig after a feud erupted between the two, but he insists that's not the case.
Green explains:
"There have been no dramas and we don't need a new muse. There is only one Kate and we are not looking for a replacement. Kate has done 14 collections with us. It has been fantastic for us and fantastic for her, but they take more and more time and she cannot do this full-time any more because she has other commitments."
Other fashion insiders say the partnership has ended because the supermodel's last collection wasn't as successful as the previous ones.
Mossy's final collection for the British retailer will bow in October.
