No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

Originally posted by BolshieBastard View PostI currently work at a client site with about 50 other contractors. Id say four fifths of them either dont comprehend IR35 or think they are well outside it. One even said to me they had 'opted out of IR35'!
With such naivety, one can only be astounded at some people's view of their status.⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment

Originally posted by mudskipper View PostPub time, I'll let you know what I think after a couple of pints
Originally posted by TykeMerc View PostIPSE were perfectly content to allow the arrogant postings and not have an "official" poster, it was quite apparent to us all that despite protestations to the contrary that there was a measure of "official" to it. The denials were never even marginally credible.
If the line wasn't official then it should have been stamped on and denounced, it never was. Certain posters have been posting exactly the same way and party line for years.
IPSE members are clever enough to know that a line spouted frequently, no matter how un-official, is viewed as official. Lack of denial is acceptance by default in that scenario, if their management struggle to grasp that basic truth then they're even more out of touch than previously believed.
I can't disagree with much of this.
But, I do think that IPSE's intentions are genuine and in the right place. I agree that that the impact of CUK has been underestimated - forum users both here and on their own forums are a tiny percentage of members/contractors, but IMO, they are also the more engaged members. I think it's fair to say that some CC members (and not just the newly elected ones) are highlighting the concerns raised here.
It has been vociferously argued (by me and others) that an 'official' IPSE voice on CUK would be useful, and there have been assurances that it is being considered, and I believe that assurance. The CC are supposed to be representative members, so, if you don't like what you've got, then you (members) need to vote for something different. I think the fact that The FaQQer got such a significant lead on the votes in the last election shows that the system does work, but it only works if people that members can identify with put themselves forward for election in the first place.
I think that IPSE have a plenty of "room for improvement" insofar as communicating with members, but that doesn't mean that everything they do/stand for is bad/wrong. Give them a chance to address the problems, and, in the meantime, let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater.Comment
