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

That sounds interesting. Is this something to do with our case?

Nothing to do with our case - in fact nothing to do with anything official.

I can't say more or cojak will remove it (again).

Ah I see - no worries. Don't risk it.

BP wrote some comments of a rather dubious nature.

This is BP we're talking about - that's like saying to a kid - "Don't play with that lighter..."

Experienced another sleepless night worrying about the what ifs.

I'm now going to step up my game and insist on a new meeting with my MP as he's ignoring my letters.

For those that have had recent success - any pointers? Documentation to send in an advance, etc.

I went to see my MP on Friday evening (hooray!).

...

I also discovered that I was the only one of his constituents that had approached him about S.58 and also that he wasn't aware of the NTRT campaign.

As an outsider checking this thread every now and then, this comment gave me an idea - apologies if it's already been considered.

What about maintaining a map of people by constituency so you can see how many there are in each, and can try to make sure as many MPs as possible get at least one F2F? If an MP only gets 1 person bother to turn up then it's not that surprising he will spend his time on things he gets many people turning up to speak about.

Do you have an idea of the total number of people who HMRC are chasing, and how many have joined/paid money to the lobby group, in order to actually chase members into seeing their MP?

Sorry if this is out of line, it just seemed worth suggesting.
