Why not become one yourself if you feel strongly about it? I'd love to see you and Mick Lynch taking on the corporate machine.

No thanks Mark

I’m too far to the right for that. Although I did consider the vessel dive rep slot at one point but the attitude of the area RMT rep was shit bud big time.

Nope I think I’ll just cancel my subs and membership instead and be a selfish twat, do as much as I can onshore and ltd and avoid paying into the system as you’ve previously advised.

It wasn't so long ago that you and Shandy were having a go at me for making the most of the tax breaks that a good accountant can secure for you. Now you're on about doing less work to avoid paying more tax. Hypocrites, stop winging if you're not playing the game.

Ah playing the game is what you call it nowadays 🤔 “ tax avoidance is what it used to be called I think” There’s a huge difference between what you’ve boasted about and what decision I’ve taken now. I’ve taken the foot off the pedal to try and create a better work life balance more so than avoiding just working my arse off to pay ever increasing levels of tax, something you approve of yet brag of avoiding 🤷‍♂️Who’s the ****************ing hypocrite Mark ?. I’m not putting myself out there as some kind of socialist hero yet playing the system to avoid paying my share as you are fond of telling us, hidden under the veil of your “good accountant”, so again Who’s the ****************ing hypocrite Mark ?. You were getting ready to prematurely explode after pulling the heed off watching lynch gob off to some inept politicians.   I’m giving you real time subs paying experience of an RMT member and best you can come up with us “suck it up”.  Was I whinging ??? Nope I gave you some home truth about your union porn socialist fantasy figure which you don’t like. 
By the way the gullible fools who backed covid measures to the hilt should hold their hands up and admit the part they have played in the current mess. That would include yourself. 
The recently announced 42% rate was the final straw for me Mark, stick on 9% class 4 NI and no thanks is my attitude.

I chose to go self employed years ago in order to create a better work life balance, I was also going out with an accountant at the time who made sure I wasn't paying more tax than necessary. If I'm guilty of tax avoidance I'm sure The Rev will get back to me in good time. I'm currently on the books for a firm and still pay for an accountant.

Ha ha OK, sorry for being concerned about the plight of the most vulnerable in society based on the evidence available at the time.
