The first time you posted was a fair question the second edited version is just indicative of how you roll Mark. You boast about paying bugger all tax yet give it the left wing socialist anti capitalist warrior. Then tell me what happened to me and other guys isn’t relevant to the current P&O shambles, even though we were let go and replaced by cheap foreign labour due to the EU open borders Labour policy. No sly digs from me Mark you use every loophole to lower your tax bill and maximise your profits which is indeed your entitlement. That’s exactly what the twats have done to the 800 today. Is that plain enough for you.

About what ?

My views on nationalisation have been aired plenty of times. But as is the case with the SNP under 21 free pass someone has to pay for it.

I have a limited company mark yes. Why !! because for many years that’s the only way that offshore companies would employ you ie through an agency running as ltd or umbrella and also I currently run the Trakmet and CPCS work through it. . I’ve explained the other part of your question numerous times, the client and the agency were avoiding employers NI by having us ltd and bending the employment rules to suit their interpretation. The Hmrc took the easy option and shafted the individuals rather than the two companies involved. I still run the ltd company, taxes and vat are all up to date but also do my self assessment every year again everything is up to date. I’m currently along with a number of guys in the same situation taking legal action against the agency, lack of due care and diligence etc on their part in relation to the way we were paid. In a nutshell HMRC ( looking at the situation retrospectively) said we should have been employed, the agency ( whom had an exclusive labour supply arrangement with the client) would not let you work except ltd or umbrella. Hmrc have acknowledged this but still say we should have been employed. RMT whom most of us are members of were utterly useless, didn’t want to know. There you go Mark it’s called nothing to hide bud 👍

Indeed

Epstein!!!! I don’t give a shit about any of that or that waster Andrew and as for Covid well it’s funny how that’s virtually disappeared eh Mark 🙄. MSM moved onto something else to fool the masses with. Imagine being one of those whom pumped out the killing granny line ffs you’d feel a right dick.

P&O Ferries faces backlash after firing 800 workers APPLE.NEWS Staff, unions and MPs express outrage and travellers are told to expect disruption. You never know the fallout from being so blatantly callous and greedy may be enough to change the minds of those in charge. Never good to show your true colours when it comes to financial motives be it over employees or tax avoidance etc.

You think not 🤷‍♂️so be it 14 or thousands of people experiencing the same thing doesn’t matter because they may be self employed but because it’s a head line grabbing ( for a few days ) figure it’s more worthy 🤷‍♂️. Kid yourself it’s down to Brexit if you want.

Don’t be awkward eh Mark. Nope it was 14 of us on that occasion, I’ve always been a contractor/self employed so never been on the books permanently. The point is it’s been going on for years especially after free movement of Labour etc. The 800 is nothing compared to the real numbers of people this has happened too, only difference is this grabs the headlines. The new forth crossing, Rosyth where the aircraft carriers were built etc etc thousands of foreign workers. End of the day it’s down to greed Mark pure greed from company owners wanting to maximise profit be it through lower wages or tax avoidance etc.

No idea Mark but as I’ve said already it was happening way way before brexit. Free movement of cheap labour bud ??. Myself and a team of guys were swapped out for Latvian agency workers on a cable recovery job in UK waters before the brexit referendum so to claim it wouldn’t have happened is bollocks.

It has happened and it would Mark. On this bud you are wrong. I’ve experienced it myself so how can you say it wouldn’t have happened.

Don’t blame Brexit for an issue that’s been going on for years Mark under loads of different governments. They didn’t have any security in first place. I’ve been on vessels in UK sector/waters for years before brexit and it was and is predominantly foreign crews. Prebrexit ive been binned off jobs myself for In my case a Latvian replacement. Currently the whole wind farm situation is a joke, constructed overseas, installed by foreign vessels with foreign crews for in most cases overseas companies.

Not unlike the situation which currently exists in virtually every vessel that is involved in supporting the UK oil and gas industry and also sadly the manufacture and installation of the billions worth of structures going up around the coastline on the many wind farms. Lot to be said for the “Jones act”.

Trans 🤷‍♂️Wtf or rather whentf did that crap start to become the norm. My 13yr old twins come home regularly from school with some proper odd ideas about what’s normal in regards identifying as x y or x. Bloody nuts.

JK Rowling slams Keir Starmer after Labour leader says 'trans women are women' | Daily Mail Online WWW.GOOGLE.CO.UK The Harry Potter author took to Twitter this morning to criticise the Labour leader's comments, claiming the party could 'no... Starmer showing once again why Labour is where it is.

John Bercow: Former Speaker banned from parliament for life after bullying inquiry finds him guilty APPLE.NEWS John Bercow has been found guilty of bullying House of Commons staff by the standards watchdog and banned from... 😳 I guess a few in Westminster will be happy. Yet another small man with a big bark.

These guys are genuine decent people, many of whom grew up under the soviet yoke. To be honest they tend to have a better work ethic and more grounded traditional attitude than a lot of the brits I work with. What you see is what you get ie no bullshit. As is the case with most on the forum there is more to people than the bollocks we tend to post on here.

Speaking to 2 of the Ukrainian officers from the vessel im on regularly “who after nearly 10 years of working with I consider good friends” they look upon getting family across into the nearest possible safe country as a temporary measure . Drive across the border to a neighbouring country or cross half off Europe to get to the UK !! the numbers are always gonna be way out. Sturgeon should concentrate on sorting out the mess the last 14 years of snp governance has caused before passing comment on anything else. She could start with the high drug death statistics. Before you comment I’ll let you know I’ve offered both the Ukrainian guys I know onboard a place to stay with their family if it comes to that and financial assistance if required.

So much shit flying around 🤷‍♂️ Thing is mark it wasn’t about Boris that much more your tax deviances in the end.

One mans shit is another’s gospel.

Not sure why you quoted that mark, the guy was well within his rights and he did indeed show good operator skills in what is a nice little unit. I take it you don’t agree with the verdict ??

😞Really 🤷‍♂️Mind you wtf did I expect. Pop up to Glasgow and find a copper, whilst within earshot start calling people jock T***S and see what happens.

Boris is a ****************ing tit mark. And like yourself an utter hypocrite.
