I just listened to the Jeremy Vine spot on BBC Radio 2 where they discussed this. The government is encouraging boycotts of Amazon, Google and Starbucks and I don't believe they are pursuing any legal action. I think that's reasonable, although I'm not going to partake in a boycott as I would do the same if I was Google (plus, I'm not in the UK anymore so I only have Starbucks and Google to boycott). The government should be giving tax breaks to at least Google and Amazon (especially if they start creating jobs somewhere other than London).
Corporates are composed of human beings, and those human beings do have morals, so I don't see why you wouldn't expect a corporation to behave like the human beings it's composed of (or at least like its finance department!).
