Tell me, did he look anything like this?

That truly made me laugh. Thanks

I don't want to give this story legs, but we'd best get to the bottom of it. Tell me, did he look anything like this?

That is not Brannigan. Brannigan looks like a nonce. And if the cap fits.....

Last month, one evening at 6.30pm I had a visit to my home from a chap dressed in Black Motorbike Leathers and a black beard. he told me he had come to collect back tax from y/e 2008. When I said my MP was dealing with it he couldn't get away quick enough. He gave me his card which had on it HMRC, his name, his mobile number. No address or office where he came from! Was I visited by the HMRC heavy mob? Are HMRC allowed to operate in this way? If I hadn't been there could he have forced his way into my home? Is this Great Britain or Russia we are living in?

I did PM Hot Pasty Saturday - but no reply. They did login at 06:46 today.

Looks like it was a troll.

Perhaps we could seek to identify them by reporting a possible breach of the Computer Misuse Act?

If you want to do that go via admin - they will at least have an email address. Personally I dont care if they are a troll.

Of course it is possible that HP saw all the attention their post generated and is now cowering? But my gut feel is its a troll. Mrs BP just wants to know so that if people come knocking then she can lock me somewhere that I cannot do any damage. While I keep taking the tablets things are not too bad on one of my better days.

Todays Daily Mail

In the comment column today, the Editor writes
"...All tax changes - however well intentioned - have real consequences for real people, and it's crucial those consequences are identified and forensically analysed long before the changes are made"

On a similar vein The Melanie Phillips column says
"There is, in any event, a good reason for the difference between tax evasion and tax avoidance. Criminalising the former is necessary to avoid dishonesty. Permitting the latter is necessary to protect people from being oppressed by an intrusive society. It's not a matter of having nothing to hide if you are doing nothing wrong. It is that privacy within the law is essential for a free society"

Listen Very carefully I will say this only Once

Firstly, I am not a Troll.
Secondly, I was visited by someone who indicated he was from HMRC.
Thirdly, he did a runner when I meantioned my MP.
Fourthly, I thought people on this forum might be gererally interested.
Fifthly, I thought it was professional people on this forum, until you appeared.
Sixth. I think I'll search for the genuine 2,990 fellow contractors who I was hoping to be able to communicate with.
Seventh. Goodbye and happy scouring, Numpty.

chill out man, to be fair your story does seem a bit weird, but maybe HMRC are hiring the Village people to do there debt collection nowadays, wouldnt put anything past them. In fact I had a guy dressed as an Indian brave at my door yesterday asking for money with menaces..
