    Are we being infiltrated ?

    Call me paranoid, senile, (or anything else you want really) - but having lurked around various threads for a while now there seems to be a growing number of questions being asked i.e. references/employment/contract law/contract obligations/ltd.co admin/financial accounting etc. that any contractor (new or time served) would know the answer to.

    Is this just new blood coming in or is it some strange plot hatched by the ever more worried 'agents on a burning tightrope' ?

    Flame away

    Agents on a burning tightrope = pimps, rather than government agents?

    If it's pimps drowning through the lack of gigs well, frankly, they should be suffering like the rest of us, I fear.

        Ahh! Now I'm really paranoid. It's not just the pimps, it's a way for the 'Government' to gather info. for another IR35 trick.

            Yoo hoo! Chase me
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                  I am inclined to agree. The standard of written English in their questions is worse than many locals'.
