    IR35 Petition

    Another signature from me..

      If we can get the ball rolling then I'll start spreading the word around all the other contractor sites and forums.

      ===========================
      PS. if you think the wording looks familiar, it is because I ended up copying the "resign" petition due to the fact that they rejected my previous attempt. The muppets said this was impossible to understand!!!

          "Petition Rejected
          This petition has been rejected because:

          It contained wording that is impossible to understand
          Additional information about this rejection:"


          What's that all about then???

            Timms has responded to the JCHR

            The clerk can't let me have a copy of the letter yet, as it hasn't been circulated to all the committee members. However, he said that Timms had not addressed any of their points or provided the information requested. All the letter talked about was the JR.

            Unfortunately for Timms, this won't cut it. If he is not careful, he will get hauled up before the committee in person.

            I have submitted Jane Kennedy's email, as evidence, to the Committee.

            I am also arranging for them to get a copy of the latest letter some of us have received.

                If he gets dragged in, and the committe is open to the public, I feel a
                day trip to Parliament coming on!

                  It's nice to see that Dawn Primarolo has signed the petition. She's a lovely lady.
                  I wonder if Gordy will sign it too.

                    That's a great idea, and I'd be there again, but I suspect it's not open to the public..

                    EDIT: I take it back, they often ARE in public:

                      Hello,

                      I have now sent in my latest 4 page letter (asking Stephen Timms many pertinent questions regarding both my personal situation and the general BN66 issues), and his dismissive reply to the JCHR. Hopefully they will have more luck getting answers out of him than I did.

                      Have a great weekend everyone.
