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

Worth letting him know that you're talking to the local press? "I'm facing bankruptcy and provided Ben Wallace with evidence that HMRC lied in court and misled parliament but his office won't even answer the phone to me. Is this how we want our MP to to treat us, his constituents, when we are in very real distress?"

That can be construed as an idol threat, get more and more evidence by badgering your MP and if he/she keeps ignoring your letters you have more of a tasty titbit for the local press.

Record every correspondence and non-response. we have to play them at their own game.....

I bet these are all Tory MPs who have been "persuaded" to toe the line by Gauke.

Fortunately, there are plenty of Tories who are willing to stick to their conservative principles, and the LibDems don't appear to have been brought into line either.

There's also nothing he can do to stop lobbying by Labour MPs.

There will always be some MP's who are happy to toe the line if it potentially improves their career prospects. Thankfully some are decent human beings who put their principles before anything else!

This whole sorry episode has taught me one thing and that's that I'm never ever going to bother voting ever again!

Did not bother last time around for the 1st time in my life and will not bother ever again.

I might vote next time !

whoever helps dig us out of this hole we were trapped into will be right up there on my list, but I have to agree, my view of MPs and the way this country is run has gone rapidly downhill with the about turns witnessed purely for political gain.

[nevergiveup]

Name one!

Oh dear. I knew someone would ask! OK I was thinking hypothetically.

I don't think being an MP should mean being totally autonomous from the party line.

And what is that going to achieve?
