Phil has crafted a cult of personality. All these tax advisors are like characters off tiger King -
Hi Many thanks for this post. Most appreciated. Ive in the last few mins posted a new thread which sets out my position but its going through the mods as ive had to do from a new account (as I don't recall my old login details)Originally posted by lowpaidworker View PostI dont know the guy. I use to follow him on twitter and read his posts but from what i saw I would say he was one of the good guys.
As also is Graham Webber I would add.
Its a shame as it would massively benefit our situation if all these guys includinig Matt Hall all got on and clubbed together. They all have an extremly good knowledge of the subject and are powerful voices.
Assume the post is allowed it points out, amongst other things, that myself Matt and WTT actually do discuss matters. indeed I speak to MH most days and on a fairly regular basis have discussions with Rhys from WTT and despite (quite large)differences of opinion on BG we agree that getting rid of the LC is a common goal.

Phil is probably one of the most genuine and least likely person to do anything for his own personal monetary gain that I have ever come across. In fact I’d go as far as to say that I suspect he could have made an absolute fortune but instead has tried to help more people than anyone will ever know!!.

But in the time he was here, he came across publicly (in my opinion) as a very loose cannon indeed. I would have a very hard time trusting him or beliving anything he said or was involved in. Others may have different opinions, naturally.Leave a comment:

- set up the website and whatever infrastructure,
- spoke to Phil and said 'will you recommend this'
- Phil looked at and said, 'Yes I will recommend it, you can quote me in the literature, and will I tell people about it, no need to pay me anything' ?
