    You may think that you're right, but I don't.

    1 in 14 would be a turnout of about 7%. If we're using 14ths, I would guess at somewhere around 8 in 14 voted.

      Tory bastards are more efficient at stealing other people's money that the NewLie were.
      I know. And during the dark days of the Broon regime I used to warn people to be careful what they wished for....

        The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. Whoever is in government.

        WE need a good depression to equalize things.

          Yes, but at what cost? Not much of a bright side IMO.

                This thread started 10 years ago, when the Tories talked about scrapping IR35.
                First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. But Gandhi never had to deal with HMRC

                  Milan, you great chump, it isn't about IR35 per se. We all know that is old news.

                  The new development, in case you were unaware, is that from April most UK public sector contracts will in practice be caught by IR35.

                  Well technically what has changed is that from then the client will decide their contractors' IR35 status, and doubtless most will err on the side of caution (especially with directions from above, filtering down from ministerial level, to do so).

                    thank you for the Management Summary 1 Pager

                    I've never contracted in blighty and never really understood IR35 anyway.
