Mel Stride on LBC Radio phone in tonight

[Dmac]

Quote from Stride

Answering my own point, yes he did say that the "schemes were illegal".

This kind of quote is killing the cause, as sentiment will go against the victims. He must be called out for this, quickly and publicly. This is surely challengeable as he has no parliamentary privilege in this interview.

He is basically calling tens (hundreds?) of thousands of hard working contractors (IT specialists, doctors, financial workers, nurses, social workers) criminals.

This is outrageous!

I agree from the comments I have read from the public not close to the scandal we are tax avoiding scum should not get away it people even congratulating him swaying public opinion to going to be harder than swaying MPs

I would have loved Iain Dale to have challenged Snide on Doug Barrowman the Tory donor..

A transcript of the call would be useful if anyone has the time to produce one I may have a crack over the w/e.

I suspect not many of the people congratulating him would be members of his target audience for votes.
As Iain implied he is another conservative deploying a counter conservative policy.
He also introduced us to his view that the schemes were "defective" and said that loans were not loans.

"People were paying less than the man next to them". Well the man next to me was avoiding his tax via the Ltd Co route - I'd be happy to pay the difference.

Agree wonder if we would use the same “person next door paying right amount of tax” if the people next to him knew he paid 25k corporation tax on 1.6million profits
