    Wow, this one is growing fast, several thousand extra signatures already this morning.

    Let's hope it makes it to the most signed so even his one good eye can't avoid it.

      I'm sure he'll view it through rose tinted glasses

        It'll be "hey, I'm doing so well. more than 60 million haven't voted for me go".

          Message from David Cameron's office

          Some nice lady from David Cameron's office called me today (he's my MP) to apologise about the lack of response to my (DR drafted) letters asking those awkward questions of the Treasury. She told me that they had been in contact with "Treasury officials" who would be replying "shortly"... ha ha. Apparently the reply involves some quite "technical and complex" points... thats why they haven't sent it before.

          Hmm can't wait... but I won't be holding my breath....

            He shouldn't count his chickens just yet...

            8000 signatures added already today. It's now in 6th place.

            At some point the Media might pick up on this.

                Cant wait to see the reply and whether it corresponds to the freshly manured tulip that I received from the treasury!

                  They have a cunning plan:

                  HM Revenue & Customs is to spend £1 billion on enforcement and compliance this year to cut tax avoidance


                  the Revenue said that it would spend a quarter of its £4 billion budget on catching tax-dodgers.

                  Apparently there is loads of money!

                    They just never understand that the way to prevent avoidance and evasion is a clear, fair taxation system (which 60% patently is not).

                    You know what this means? There will be 160,000 IR35 cases and ...... 60 wins for HMRC. I for one am terrified.

                      quote from Sir Michael Caine

                      "We’ve got three and a half million layabouts on benefits and I’m 76 and getting up at 6am to go to work to keep them. I will not pay the Government more than I get. No way, ever.“

                      says it all very concisely
