    It'll either happen, or it won't - one solo contractor objecting (even 10) will make no difference. May as well get in there for as much cash as you can.

        they're paying right? assuming so, i'd take it. Over the next few years it will not matter what or where you've worked, it's simply a case of get through the looming dark days.

          I would implement an IR35 database for HMRC, if the money was good.

              I don't really have a big hangup about all that stuff being recorded anyway so yes, I'll work on it.

              And, for that matter, him.

              Take the money, it's not going to make a sod of difference anyway, and there aren't going to be the tools available to do any meaningful searches to find anything useful in there.

                Then an agent phones offering a contract on the government project to build the big new national database of e-mails, phone calls and internet visits.

                Would you do it?
                Yes.

                  The whole economy is going t*ts up due to bad policies of HMG. That would not stop me working, unless I could get more through benefits. Now hang on a mo.................................

                    Ah the light dawns!
                    Yes you would get more in benefits than what you are currently getting as a telephone-answering first line support monkey.
                    Well done.

                      Conscience? I did google it, but still don't get it...

                      Yep I'd take the job if the rate was (al)right.
