LexisNexis, missing the point

LexisNexis makes its money form selling tax legislation, and let’s be honest - publications on tax avoidance.

It’s holding a conference on 15 May in London entitled, according to an email I have received from them:

Can tax avoidance ever truly be viewed as acceptable?

A brochure is available here.

There is a problem though. No one from civil society is speaking at the conference to give the alternative view to all the tax planners who are going to be present. Why is that? Is it that this conference is really about how to avoid being accused of avoidance? It has that feel to it.
