It's not as you get older, the break point is when you retire which could be any age. Not having to earn a living - assuming you've planned well enough to be self sufficient - changes things quite...

Well, it's a nice dream. The world has changed though. Some clients will pay over the odds for "the best", but they will become both increasingly rare and increasingly picky. The commercial risks of...

Really? Not everything s about Brexit you know. Some of us can hold on to more than one line of thought at a time.

So where does he expect those not on the priority schedule to get jabs from?

Pointlessly stupid intervention again. Many thanks.:yay:

Trump is easy to explain. The USA voted for someone famous from a reality TV show who claims a $3bn fortune that largely doesn't exist, spent 5 years (including the campaign) telling lies about his...

HMRC haven't lost that may cases. Most people claiming a victory turn out to have had the investigation halted, not abandoned. The high profiles cases have been from courts above the original...

Urban myth 201...

90% of contracts are manpower replacements or short-term additions. There is no shortage of candidates, and they are easily replaced if they are sub par. so where is the...

Yes, but you will have been overpaid by yhe same amount...

There are templates out there. Test your Google-fu.

However, it has to be realistic. It has to have an overall objective (e.g. build me a working website from scratch).It has to have defined,...

There's a form to do this somewhere on the HMRC website. Basically you make a case for why your PoA should be reduced to whatever level you think is right (including zero). If at tax year end it...

I think they just tried that. Didn't go well, did it...

And I'm supposed to take your wittering seriously...?

He is saying he wants people to go back to work and the rest, but we can't because of the restrictions.

But hey, it is an Irish newspaper.

When I see a Labour PM who isn't or wasn't a complete failure, then I might have an opinion. Until then, any Labour leaders can be safely ignored as irrelevant. Especially the unelected ones.

No, because that's not what he said. Read it again, slowly.

He said he wants people to go back to work to cinemas and restaurants.

He also said people should follow government guidelines (aka "laws") at all times.

So other than wanting to prove you...

Or he is willing to take decisions but not with reference to earlier ones? In other words, is he being driven by his advisors more than he should be. The jury is out on that one, but personally I'm...

Nobody' disputing that was a mistake. And much as you might like to think so, Boris is not the government. Or do you practice syllogistics?

However, for one counter-example, the latest lockdown...

Not even close. Try the Callaghan one, or the Blair-let's-go-to-war-and-kill-a-lot-of-people one or the MacMillan one or the Gorgon one, all of which nearly bankrupted the UK, or the abortion that...

Yes, he could. He could have said something considerably longer. But what would have been the point?

Honestly the posts on here are getting to be a form of semantic numerology. Dissect every...

And your point is?

He has to say "offered", otherwise the snowflakes would be screaming about being forced to have one (or two, to be precise).

Of course the age of those in hospital has gone...

After 9 years, you would hope you understood what security clearance actually is and why it is needed.

Tell your site SSO what's happening. That is a lot safer than not telling them, for both...

I think we may be missing a point or two here. The idea is to minimise the number of people that get properly ill so we have the spare resources to cope with those that do. A second consideration is...

Leftover doses at the end of the day are going to NHS staff and other health workers...

And Hobosapien needs to do some more reading!

Good to know the covidiots are still going strong. Perhaps some of the posters in this thread would like to look at the science before listening to the twattershpere.

So? They go to the back of the queue. End of.

Under section 10 rules (the new version of IR35 that the PS are already using) the liability resets with the client or the paying agency. It does not and will not rest with you. If the gig moves back...

Gross invoice less umbrella fee less Employers NICs less Apprentice Levy less deducible expenses (probably zero for 99% of the time) less pension (statutory and salary sacrifice) less holiday pay...

Give up. You're being ridiculous. And tedious.

OK, so perhaps you would listen to someone who spent several years running a major microbiology lab in a big hospital group and who was forced under PHE control when the old (and very effective HCA, ...

Well let's start with HMG telling PHE what to do. PHE had a charter to fulfil and they failed dismally. All by themselves. And in the process they wrecked quite a lot of what used to be good about...

Sorry but that's nonsense.

So now you can get an idea about why PHE has been disbanded and moved into a new organisation. Their level of incompetence - which was considerable across the whole range of their activities - is...

When yuo start using Galloway as a justification, then you really have lost the argument. :laugh

You'd be surprised how many things vanish once you pay off the mortgage and stop flogging in to work and back, some of which are quite abstract (less reliance on convenience food during the week for...

Agreed. "Life" requires reproduction and exhibiting negative entropy: since a virus is basically a chunk of RNA or DNA in a protein shell, it can do the former but not the latter since they don't...

Whatever. Go research HMRC's investment in iXBRL. They don't need bank data.

OK, you fail to see, I don't. Let's simply leave it at that.

We were asked for reasons for the OP's accountant's advice, which we have given. You may disagree with it, but the idea is not to...

That's not fun, merely tedious time-wasting. And making you read a long boring post or two from someone who's not been fooled for a minute. As for boasting about it, that's merely showing off

There isn't. Other than for the reasons I've already given. It's up to you whether or not you think it's a good idea.

As in so many questions asked around here, just because you can doesn't mean...

True. Apologies for over-reacting. However...


There's been enough written about the vaccine and how it works (it's not a killed or live attenuated one like smallpox or flu, it triggers the human...

Seems you understand f*** all about the subject. Probably best keep quiet.

True but irrelevant to the current discussion.

A vaccine doesn't kill anything, it cues the immune system to do it. Partial doses are irrelevant in terms of viruses: resistance is developed in bacteria which can pass on beneficial mutations...

But dividends are supposed to be paid once the profit position for the year is known, which means knowing how much off your gross is supposed to be available. If you contract gets canned tomorrow -...

Depends how much you want to trigger an investigation really. What you are doing is a likely trigger for HMRC to conclude you aren't running a business but avoiding tax.

And what happens if at...

Or for free, go to our website and see what happens when a loony scriptwriter is let loose with Zoom!! :tongue

You will be relieved to hear I 'm not in it! :banana:

Love the idea that according to the old duffer you can be British or you can be European. Last time I looked, the UK was geographically part of Europe, as are France, Germany, Latvia and many others....

It seems to me that there are actually two objectives, to minimise the demand on hospital services by protecting those most likely to need them if they catch Covid and to create herd immunity over a...

Except he's an Austrian... :rollin:

I should give it up. You're just getting silly now.
