Oh great. That's all we need. Another tax avoiding paranoid whiner... Pay attention to this folly. You have safe space where only helpful people may post, not those who will use invective that precedes this. Be aware that many people are not on your side and in General, they've carte blanche to express themselves. I personally hope you defeat this.

But wind your neck in.

Pah. The loan charge is character building.

I suspect for a lot of the people who joined a scheme the loan charge is a great warm up for the main event..

I have a lot of sympathy for this view. I do not think that we've seen the worst of the fall-out from these schemes yet. Good luck to those that were involved, but the writing was on the wall from a very early stage for those that cared to look.

1) I have no idea what wadr means.

Apparently "with all due respect"

Or, West African Democracy Radio.

Not sure which in this case...

I have full sympathy for the financially uneducated who truly "fell" for these schemes, some of whom were told (apparently) that they had to go via certain umbrella/schemes in order to get the "job", but its hard to feel any such sympathy for those who just listened to what they wanted to hear when they signed up for the scheme, and are now doing the same (and worse, attacking the messengers) when some very pertinent risks are being pointed out to them.

Reading that thread is a very interesting study on human nature, although it does also have a bit of a that guilty rubber-necking feel about it too.

The writing was on the wall before they joined the scheme - especially as IoM trust law is virtually unintelligible and most people don't understand how loan repayments work...

Imagine my realisation on Saturday night of what the actual plan was and how well the banned poster had intentionally been pointing people in completely the wrong direction towards a company who may have said enough to make the loan valid..

Sounds like an excellent idea to me.

If I was a septic I'd have hopped it to Canada as fast as possible.

Hey Hey LBJ & all that, man.

FTFY
he'd have to already be in the armed forces to be a deserter.
