    Maybe we should point out to our MP's that the situation we find ourselves in is not unlike the expenses scandal. The rules were as they were at the time and a lot of politicians pointed out that they followed the guidelines and that they shouldn't have to pay anything back. We followed the law as it was at the time except that we are being forced to pay back tax which at the time we legally were not required to pay. Ask them if they thought it would be fair to ask every MP to pay back for a period of 7 years all those expenses that are not covered under the current rules. I bet I know their answer.

    Point out it is hypocritical to apply this unfair retrospection when they don't apply the same standards to themselves.

This issue is all I can think of at the moment, doubtless like many. These measures might prove pointless, fuitless, waste of time, etc, etc. But, at least, it makes me feel like I'm personally exhausting all avenues open to me.

                    The floodgates have been opened. Eventually retrospective taxation will affect everyone.
