Perhaps they lied about there being "more than 2000" on the scheme... wouldn't be the first economy of truth or piece of full on deception.

However, whether the above is true or not I think you're right and it would be great to get some more signatures. The wording of the petition is against retrospection of any sort and so should offend most taxpayers not just those directly affected. Very simply it could be them next and unless we can get some commitment from parliament to consign retrospective attacks to the bin we will continue to lose high earners and corporations alike.

There is no reason why everyone should not sign it.

With nearly 550 signatures already, I don't think anyone needs to shy about signing.

Sadly, I think a lot of people are happy to leave the fight to Montpelier/Steed/KPMG/PwC and the courts.

However, I see what we are doing as complimentary. These companies can't get involved in Politics whereas we can.

Some people may end up regretting not joining in if the courts let us down but by then it will be too late.

Signed as well, retrospective legislation is totally unjust and IMHO is something that should be illegal.

People like yourself, who didn't use the scheme, but have nevertheless signed put many in the scheme who haven't bothered to shame.

I can understand apathy when it doesn't affect you directly but when you stand to get taken to the cleaners by this legislation then it makes no sense at all.

Thank you!
