No To Retro Tax – Campaign Against Section 58 Finance Act 2008

[PlaneSailing]

There is another Labour MP who said pretty much the same thing to a constituent last week.

See if you can guess who.

Hint: white hair, black eyebrows.

So what's his excuse for not doing something about this when he was in charge? I spoke to my MP in 2008 about BN66 and he wrote to the then Chancellor telling him that 'retrospection is immoral'.

Michael Weir (SNP) - Have been in touch a few times but have not spoken to him face to face

It is definitely worth doing a face to face with your MP I was amazed at the response that I got especially as he was Labour; it is your right for him/her to see you.

I think you will be surprised how totally unaware MP’s are of BN66 and its impact.

We need to impress on as many MP’s as possible so as to put as much pressure on people such as DG.

Are you watching the server logs from the new campaign website? See if there is a spike this morning as HMRC wake up to the new phase of this sorry episode!

I don't seem to be able to PM but I have written to my MP in Scotland twice (Jim Hood).

The reply to my first letter was the standard one from Gauke.

I have since sent another letter but have not yet had a response on this.

Hi BS81 and welcome to the thread. PM rights are granted after you have made a few posts unless Admin look kindly upon you.

If you donate to the campaign you will have all the toys in the arsenal to make your point to your MP if he continues to feed you the party line.

Can you say who the MP is as we could all ask our MPs to contact him and support him?

Fabian Hamilton. As I said it's only tentative, no firm commitment as yet.

He is PPS to Rachel Reeves who is Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury (Danny Alexander's opposite number).

In general, we are getting more support from Labour and LibDem MPs than the Tories.
