Originally posted by Rhino 888 View PostSo I wanted to know if I was wildly out of line with the alleged 20-odd thousand PCG members. A quick search found this place.
TBH, their magazine has largely failed to get opened for the last few years, I've just paid and ignored them.
I'm perhaps a little out of the mainstream, being an electronics hardware design bloke rather than strictly IT.
I'm a little nervous of losing the IR35 protection, but sufficiently disillusioned to consider risking it.
But, purely from a commercial point of view, I've not found anywhere which can provide a comparable level of protection for a similar fee level.Comment

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostI don't think it's a love-in (although I haven't ready it today). Have a look at the old forum when there was a CC election and you'll see how much love there can be between candidates...
It's a members organisation which has incredibly low participation levels by it's members - 2% turnout in the last elections sums it up.

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostI was essentially told by an IPSE board member that because I didn't post on their forums, I didn't have a right to comment about their activity.
Which was nice.
Personally I'm ramping up everything I can to ensure I'm well away from the forthcoming disaster if those changes come to pass...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

I stopped posting over there when they suddenly stopped the fun.
And they started purging 'General'-type posts more than a month old. Imagine this place without all those SAS or Dodgy posts over the years, available for posterity.Comment

Originally posted by tractor View PostExactly! for 70p/day it has to be worth it until the 3 points that I made above become reality. The point is though that if they do, they will affect us all, members and non members alike.
What is the actual level of risk from IR35 these days?Comment

To me it's a no brainer and, as I've said before, they saved me £52k so I don't mind paying some back in to help others behind me.Comment
