    Yesterday I was watching one of the HMRC's advisors using his iPhone to browse the web (couldn't see what he was looking at though).

        Exactly. The MontP Business model was legitimate and worked, right up to the change of legislation. If it wasn't legit they would have closed it down in less than two years. DEQC gave examples of just how fast the 'shams' can be closed.

                  Hey Mr HMRC advisor, I'm about to spit on your bald forehead from the upper gallery.

                    Well if thats the case, here's a question or two.

                    Your new stooge, AJ, was responsible for setting up quite a few tax avoidance schemes. Have you investigated these and closed any down recently? Do these represent a loss to the public revenue? Are the big companies he advised paying the 'normal' rate of tax? You could just ask him. I know he likes to boast about the schemes, I've heard him.

                    Here's another one, all thos multi-millionaires / billionaires who only pay a few grand to the revenue under your rather generous rules, does this represent a loss to the public purse? Are they paying what you would consider a 'normal' rate of tax?

                    What about the poor sods who are caught by IR35 who are paying 60% of income on tax? Are they paying the 'normal' rate of tax?

                    What exactly do you mean by 'normal' Hector? Are the MPs who get lots of tax allowances on their expenses and second home paying 'normal' rates of tax?

                    I read Singh's bio, I thought here is a man who has defended peoples rights and the rule of law. I know he's a professional doing a job, but I hope he can't sleep at night. Shameful, this is not a dictatorship, Parliament is not and never should be supreme.

                      I would be interested to hear what bits of this thread were used in court.

                      Anyone remember?
