Are IPSE rebranding (again)?

[Cirrus]

The Law only applies to little people, not IPSE

Well They'd better sort out that website cos it's illegal at the moment,

I had a go at IPSE for selling financial products outside their FCA remit. They simply banned me.

Bunch of thugs.

I thought they'd already rebranded as 'ITISON' or 'Wowcher' or some tulipe like that.

Yet there was a question on here very recently about maternity pay, and rural broadband is pretty damned serious if you live in some of the nicer parts of the country and trying to earn a living and are faced with speeds barely better than 3G. In our village of some 12,000 people I get 28Mbs on a FTTC link, which is bad enough, but three miles away it's usually less than 2Mbs

Indeed. Hence the use of the word "most".

If you want better broadband in your area, perhaps you should all club together and pay for it.

It’s not exactly free to provide, why should the rest of us pay for your choice of lifestyle. Amirite?

IPSE couldn't care less about their traditional Members. They are generally apathetic and non-participatory, only concerned about the IR35 and other Insurances, offered under the IPSE banner.

If the executive want to make wholesale changes, then they have the tools at their disposal to push through amendments to the Articles of Association. In this case, the Company that owns Freelance Corner, has adopted the Model Articles of Association provided in terms of the Companies Act.

In my opinion, IPSE has become irrelevant, since they abolished the Consultative Council (who asked too many uncomfortable questions about IPSE's policies, strategies and tactical operations).

they banned me for posting a different angle on the chiefs and indians quip, calling it racist.

I claimed this in so many words a long time ago. I guess many of those members will not require IPSE from April 2020.

I don’t have a village pub or big 6 bedroom rural house (for £300k) I demand these in London if we are all to be equal

Well, when you're referring to people of Indian origin in your quip, it is easy to interpret as racist - indeed it made me squirm (although I did not report it, largely due to apathy)

Seems they are just realising: Chris Bryce on Twitter: "I have an overwhelming feeling of generosity today.
