      Promises, Promises

      I have done this partly as a thankyou to the many people, who were not in the scheme, who have supported us over the past year.

      My goal (a very ambitious one) is to topple the "resign" petition (http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/please-go/) from the top spot, and show that IR35 is a real vote winner.

      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!!!

      Did Gordon get round to responding to the last petition, or is that
      another broken promise?

            Anyone know anything? PM me if you dont want to write publicly.

                Signed petition.

                Not suffering from BN66 but my sympathies go out to all that are.
