Corporate social irresponsibility

PR babble about about "corporate social responsibility" has gone eerily quiet. The media advisers must be advising the execs that when the news is dominated by banks paying £1.9 billion to settle allegations of running money for Mexican drug barons and $670m in penalties for breaking sanctions on Iran, and by Google, Starbucks and Amazon paying laughable amounts of tax to the British authorities, this may not be the best time to boast of "responsibility".
