Close. Pro-business Tory Scum are fooking over contractors far and beyond what anti-business New Liebor ever did or but had initially hoped to achieve by the introduction of IR35 in 1999.Originally posted by AtW View PostPro-business Tory Scum are fooking over contractors far and beyond what anti-business New Liebor ever did or ever hoped to achieve?
It was never really a political thing, it was something the treasury had been trying for years, but Thatcher and Major knocked back. It was only the inexperience of New Liebor that permitted it to be attempted.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation! -
To an extent yes, but there are an awful lot of people in the public sector using limited companies who really, really should be employees. And the abuse is on both sides (departments keeping headcount down by using contractors, and people using limited companies to increase income)...Originally posted by AtW View PostPro-business Tory Scum are fooking over contractors far and beyond what anti-business New Liebor ever did or ever hoped to achieve?merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

I did treat my year working in the public sector as one massive tax rebate.
There wasn't really enough work, but they didn't want us to go as it was a security cleared role, and it would be a pain to replace us. So I got quite good at the Times crossword.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. The trick with the gravy train is to store up the gravy for the day it ends. Or you drown in gravy.Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostI wonder if that still goes on [emoji57]Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

NHS has to be paid for. Population is growing, and many of the new arrivals earn min wage, and yet use the infrastructure and social care provided to the full.Originally posted by AtW View PostTory Scum policies should not be taxing...
