BN66 - Time to fight back (Chapter 3)

[silver_lining]

In order to prevent the twats from HMRC reading our forum has anyone ever thought of moving this to a private forum with only vetted members (DR must know all our email addresses now) online and trickle feed non-sensitive info onto this forum?

That way even if the old bore himself reads it won't even matter...

I really think this should have been done a long time ago, anyone have time to set it up?

It's a possibility. However, the campaigns wouldn't have been anywhere near as effective without all the people who read the forum but haven't signed up. There is no way we could have achieved the 200 letters to MPs without their involvement.

I would rather take my chances with Brannigan & Co reading the forum than exclude these people.

Also we need to vet who joins. And there is no way of knowing who they will pass info onto.

This is indeed a salient point. And I suspect that one way or other we're in the closing game now, so such a new list would have limited life and usefulness anyway.

I think things are just starting to get interesting! At least 3 years of "fun" ahead.....

Mad mad mad mad mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot begin to tell you how angry I am. I have now received 80 testimonies and I feel like I am about to explode. Just when I think it can't get any worse, along comes another heart wrenching story.

Last night I let my wife read the document. She was in tears.

It is absolutely outrageous the suffering this is causing. It is indirectly affecting the lives of countless innocent children.

In many cases the damage has already been done. Even if we eventually win, some people's lives will never be the same again.

We need to get this struck off now. It is no good if it drags on for years and ends up in the European courts. Some people's lives will be destroyed by then.

To avoid any further delay, I have passed what I've got so far on to the Human Rights Committee, and agreed to send them more next week.

Well done DR hopefully they treat this as it should be, if this is just a sample of what this law change is doing to people and like most surveys taking the sample as an example of the majority, they are HMRC is screwing over 2000+ peoples lives on the chance they might get 10% of the money.... im mad mad mad, on the good side Mugabe...sorry GB wont be around for much longer.

Funny thing is i havent seen any Labour supporters out there at the moment promoting the elections, are they worried they would get toooo much abuse.

god help any labour mp who came knocking at my door.

unfortunately I think HMRC and others dont quite get the fact this is not just a matter of paying a little tax bill. Its Life and death for a lot of people and is potentially life destroying not just for the individual, there is a lot of collateral damage to partners, children, family members etc.....There are a lot of people impacted not just the person being asked to pay up...

This whole thing has shaken my faith in the way this country's system
is run, even more than the expense fiddling MPs.

Now more draconian measures are looming, with the whole
hounding people who 'bend' the rules and giving Tax inspectors
rights to seize and enter.

I don't know whether things will change with a new government,
but those invovled in the current state of affairs should be
ashamed of themselves.

DR, i wonder if its worth it to send this off to a few of the prominate MP's who are on our side, i know alot of them say this is bad and have push a little, but we want to make the mad mad mad also. If they see this isnt just a few people in their area but get a chance to see what this law is actually doing from personal statements? Just an idea anyhow?
