UK Uncut: Police Arrest Six Activists Protesting In Oxford Street Topshop

UK Uncut Target Oxford Street

Police have arrested six activists who entered Topshop's flagship store in a protest against tax avoidance.

Members of the direct action group UK Uncut staged a small but noisy demonstration outside the shop in London's Oxford Street on one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

Watched by bemused shoppers and police officers, about 10 campaigners chanted "Philip Green, pay your taxes", in a reference to the owner of Topshop's parent company, Arcadia.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said six protesters were arrested inside the store.
