Hi

 

+1 from me, they need to reign in the tax owed from large business & stop treating small ones like thieves, HMRC should start at the top & work down.

 

As for red tape, Ill judge them by their actions not words.

I just can't take any of it seriously anymore, it's like a re-run of a tired old play, some of the actors are the same, some are different, but it's the same lousy script whoever takes the stage.

 

" In October 2011, Cameron vowed to "slash red tape" to boost the faltering economy.

 

In November 2011, Cameron appointed an enterprise Czar telling reporters he planned to rein in red tape.

 

In December 2012, the BBC reported David Cameron backed Mary Portas in her review of high streets in which she recommended we cut red tape.

 

In January 2012, the BBC reported that Cameron vowed to tackle red tap by cutting back the "health & safety monster".

 

In March 2012, Cameron pledged a personal crusade against bureaucracy.

 

In April 2011, Cameron promised he would cut "red tape" by ripping up 21,000 rules that were holding back business by using ‘crowd-sourcing’ techniques. Later that same month he launched the "red tape" challenge.

 

In May 2012, Cameron claimed that he had a radical plan to cut “lunatic red tape”.

 

In September 2012, Cameron vows to "cut through the dither" as a new war on red tape is announced to "unlock growth".

 

In October 2013, Cameron declared war on EU Red Tape "
