Chilcot failed ref Blair. Let’s see what happens with Sturgeon over the Stalinist lies and hidden agendas up here over Salmond. Ref the contracts in England mate if they have been doing wrong then let them  swing for it.  Just been cleaned out to cover 19-20 self assessment and still in the middle of an IR 35 ass whipping so to say I’m pretty disillusioned with the way this countries economy is being decimated and tax payers money squandered is an understatement.

Sounds like a nightmare mate.
The ever changing IR35 scenario is a minefield.
It sucks that they still shaft you even when you've played by their rules.
I was close to being in a similar boat, but have managed (so far) to avoid a whirlpool. 
Things are going to improve on the tree surveying side when they get round to reading the new Environment Bill.

I hope things work out favourably for you with 'The Rev'.

The ‘product’ of HMRC (creating the impression / belief that they are) shitting on the ‘little man’ is that they create an enemy of ‘tax’ for life. Least ways that what happened with me.

Agreed 100%
out of the 48 of us caught up in this mess with the agency concerned most have now either cut back how much they work or jacked in the whole type of work we do and will probs never earn what they did. I’d imagine eif you took a before and after 5 yrs down the line the actual tax take will assuredly be way less as a result of what has happened. I know myself my attitude will never be the same towards the whole taxation system and amount of sacrifices I’m prepared to make working away from home.  Putting it mildly cash is ****************ing king.

Doesn’t look good for Prince Phillip, Charles went to see him today which is unusual.

Might not make 100.

[nepia]

That's what I thought but the Palace are saying Phil's in good spirits etc; if the old boy was fading I'd expect them not to be so upbeat.

I hope they're not bullsh*tting and that he makes the ton and gets his card from the Queen
