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

[OnYourBikeGB]

Thanks DS.

At the time, I think NTRT's approach was a little bit more softly softly. But I think now is the time to get aggressive and irony/social media/viral campaigns are a great weapon. And yes... the video was a bit rough round the edges.

It's a pity Xtranormal have been taken over and not currently available as I would have liked to redo that video. There is another package here Make Business Video | Animated Video Production | GoAnimate.com , but I haven't had time to check it out yet.

What we need is someone who knows the facts inside out, with a great sense of humour and ability to get the message across. Volunteers anyone?

I'm certainly happy to throw in a few script ideas, but I'd suggest we do it in a more secure environment. If we discuss too much here then Hector will be ready for us should we be lucky enough to get it to go viral. I completely agree on irony / lampooning because we as a nation like to see our politicians taken down a peg, it's the only power we've got left. Spitting Image being a prime example of just how effective this can be. Length wise there's no reason why the documentary can't have a 'trailer' for the attention span challenged.

Petition signed.

I also spoke with the company that was mentioned in the latest newsletter - he answered quite a few questions that I had. No solutions at this stage obviously as there are still too many unknowns, but it was definitely very much worth the call. Would recommend others here have a chat with him too.

Chased my MP again who is on the treasury select committee but they're on recess. He will be getting back to me apparently.

Spitting Image meets Question Time spoof perhaps.

Whilst not often demonstrated on this forum TSTB has a great sense of humour and knows the facts inside out. Although I hate to put the names of others forward…

I agree it would be preferable to take the brainstorming off this public forum. The all-seeing eye of Sauron is watching closely (which some seem to forget).

I also had a chat with the company today and I'm glad I did. Whilst it's not all good news it's better than I expected.

I'd recommend more people drop him an email or phone call.

I think WH might be sending something out regarding social media in due course. So let's wait for that and conversations can continue offline.
