...and don't vote Labour often enough.

It's been a Tory government for nearly a decade in case you hadn't noticed.
But thanks for proving my point about the lack of logic of indigenous workers

The game changer for many contractors, possibly most, would be that as an employee they will no longer be able to claim travel & accommodation expenses!

Rates would have to rise massively to, um, accommodate that.

And accountancy costs, that £1500 a year or so would be a far bigger chunk if it were paid on taxed income.

Overseas workers, cheap or not, are brought in because indigenous workers like you are useless.

HTH, BIDI.

Is that why you fooked off to live overseas? Because you can't cut it here? Let's face it, you can't cut it here...

Why would you pay for the accountancy costs of running a ltd if you were PAYE?

There is nothing conservative about the Conservatives. The country is run by the civil service now and they are overwhelmingly left wing.

Now now, pondy. You already know the answer to that one.

Sasguru postulates that workers from foreignland are brought in because local workers are useless. This implies that working in foreignland requires a higher level of ability than working in the UK. Conversely, the bringing of people from foreignland implies that foreigners find the work in the UK more facile than in their home country. As a corollary, if some can't cut it in the UK, then they'll be unable to cut it in foreignland either, so your point is refuted.

Your inability to construct simple logical arguments unfortunately gives a data point in favour of sasguru's hypothesis.

Personally, I think it's garbage, but I do think you lack the ability to think critically. But don't feel bad, you've many bedfellows in this regard.

My apologies, I should have said "...many local workers are useless ...", not "...local workers are useless ..."
If you're on this forum a lot, it does seem that the cretinocracy is everywhere, but I should have realised this is a biased sample.

Have you ever considered that your lack of success in life might be down to your own (lack of) personal qualities, rather than some conspiracy?

Almost certainly not.
