Old Gregg and other Anti Contractors

[WTFH]

What are the day rates for "anti"?

Inside anti or outside anti?

[Old Greg]

Inside anti or outside anti?

Is the BBC still hiring contractors nowadays?

Inside anti or outside anti?

Outside anti, ideally. Not that I'm totally anti inside anti if necessary.

Someone unhappy with how their life has turned out but who refuses to take responsibility for their own failures. At a guess.

First of all I've done incredibly well over the last 10 years, I contracted invested money in properties and pensions Sipps.

What I'm annoyed about Greg is that very avenue is being cut off to for anyone wanting to do well now, contracting is being regulated and stopped, small business whiped out, property investment wiped out, NHS dismantled, food standards lowered, workers rights dismantled, wages lowered.

The Tories are rigging this economy completely unchallenged, buy to let lines the pockets of wealthy property developers, IR35 lines the pockets of the big 5 agencies and offshore agencies.

Those of us with a spine continue to speak out, those without Gregg and the Nerd with the mug picture just bend over and take it. Sad times.

whiped out

Sounds painful.

I'm sure there is a coherent rant in there somewhere but I'm struggling to see it...

What I find funny is that Old Greg isn't even in the UK, he shifted to Ireland a few years back..

If you are all so apposed to contracting why don't you set up an anti contracting site. There is nothing wrong with contracting, we forego regular steady incomes, we pay our own holidays, invest out own pensions, cut back on red tape, pay our own insurance and bring a wealth of experience to the economy.

Who the hell are the Tory, Eaton out of touch, millionaires tax dodging clueless idiots to tell us we are disguised employees.

My contracting business is going great guns, thanks very much, and shows no sign of being "whiped [sic] out". No complaints here at all.

Your "speaking out" is ineffective whining. If you're worried about your own business, think smarter if you are able to, and succeed. If you're worried about the direction the Tories are taking the country, get politically active to do something about it. Alternatively, carry on being a whiny pole choker on an Internet forum. My money is on you doing the last of these things.
