Our MP's were happy to steal by abusing the expenses system, but want to hunt down any who try to hold onto a little more of what they have earned

 

kind of sums it up ,the old 2, rule tier

cash jobs make the world spin round...cash in the hand is spent in the shop the pub,wherever its spent its spent....we need first look at the big corporations who are fleecing the economy inside out and then cutting deals with HMRC

You never ''ever'' done an undeclared cash job Andy? my problem with this isn't the conviction of tax dodgers, its exploitation of kids too do the snitching, and aren't teachers meant be at school to teach!

 

Of course not Lee never "ever" on a public forum would I do such a thing I even have a clean squeak

This is a desperate ploy by a desperate government clutching at whatever straws they have left to clutch at, IMO. i just didnt wish to agree with the thread for the sake of it.

I can't see the teachers encouraging this as there are quite a few near me offering after school tutoring. 5 kids in one hour £25/hr per child. As for my kids I've just put a tenner under their pillows! Hush money

It sucks. It's just dawned on my as well, two of my kids are now over 16 - I think I'm going to 'pay' them £8k each to deliver leaflets, but look after the money for them.

Sounds like a great idea.

Just had a teacher ask if he can have a discount if he offers me cash for a connie job, had an ex high policeman high up in the met who now runs a private security firm and is seriously minted ask for a discount for cash. Watched him cringe when i said my partner was to honest to accept cash jobs. Had doctors Lawyers and Bankers all offer, for a discount for the privilage of me putting my ass on the line.

 

Seriously get asked all the time, usually give them a small discount if it's within the profit margin of the job and put through the books anyway. Usually the richer the more willing they are to evade taxes, just look at the amount of tax coca cola pay (or dont).

 

If my children were being taught to snitch on people at school I would have a lot to say about it, seriously worried what this country and government are coming to.
