Originally posted by loser View PostSuch a lily-livered response from the government. Nice letter in response. Sent mine off today. Once again, well done to all involved for drafting this and motivating me and many others on here to take some action.
So why bother?
Because if we don't keep on their backs it creates the impression that this is no big deal. Maybe for some it isn't but for many this will be life changing, and not in a good way.
It's hard to really tell what, if any, effect the letters are having but for the sake of a few stamps it's surely better than doing nothing.Comment

Action this day!

If that doesn’t happen then our campaigning effort will increase – but because we have all already made the MPs aware of the issue it will be much easier to get our case heard at that stage.
The pattern of response and indeed non-response tells us that we are having an effect – Timms never shied away from twisting the knife and we’ve had none of that.
There are now four letters available – see Donkey’s signature for the letters. Please send whichever one is appropriate and customise the letter if you can. Let your elected representatives know the effect that section 58 has had, is having and will have on you and your family. They don’t know unless you tell them because HMRC never conducted any impact assessment.
So send your letter – they are counting them.There's an elephant wondering around here...Comment

Excellent work on the letter guys!
Keep plugging away everyone! We are slowly making chinks in their armour'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

I have a relative in Inverness who is writing to Danny Alexander on our behalf as he is her MP. Is it an option for people to get relatives to write as well?Regards

HMRC are very thick skinned but they won't welcome all this political attention.Comment
