You work up a good head of steam, accumulate a nice large pile of bile to vent, and then find out that the person you were arguing with was winding you up.
Anyway, try a different bait. The house owning/renting debate always gets lively.Boom boom boom boom

yeah but I'm not winding anyone up
I think IT Contractors in general are enjoying prosperous times and have been
for how long, perhaps 10 years or more ?
No matter about other sections of the populous IT Contractors are doing ok as a result of the economic stability in the UK - fact

Ok Beansy, fair enough.
So don't you think the economy has been stable in spite of, not because of Labour?
What about their assault on IT contractors through IR35, and fast track visas?
What about the mountain of debt?
Don't you think the coming fall will wipe out a lot of the gains we may have made?
I wasn't contracting under the Tories, but weren't the years between 1992 and 2002 equally good for contractors?Boom boom boom boom

wonderwaif,
I too was not contracting under the tories so can't answer, only the old dinosaurs here like Xoggoth and Tony English and BlasterBates can answer that.
'Don't you think the coming fall will wipe out a lot of the gains we may have made?',
I have been sending a clear message during this whole thread, if contractors have been wise with their rewards then if the predicted crash which let's face it everybody has been predicting since the .dot con crash, if such a crash happens and if contractors have been prudent and invested their gains then they will only benefit from a crash
I only hope there is another 5 years or so before the crash, just enough time to really cushion the benes nest
Who can answer whether the economy thrived because of NL or inspite of NL, who can answer that ?
Who can predict the future ?
