From the pro-business Govt, with love...

You mean you don't want loads of directorships for doing SFA, and money for giving after dinner speeches where no one listens to you? There me thinking you wanted to be as rich as that "peace loving" Tony Blair and "honest" David Cameron.....

Nah, would not feel like I've earned it.

MPs now are for career politicians who would otherwise a complete failure in life. Any successful person would not contemplate getting involved with that tulip.

If you are happy to remain a back bencher you can say what you like once elected. However it's best to start as a councillor first, which is a thankless job, as it will enable you to brown nose the local party who select the MP.

Maybe we need a few more MPs that have actually run a small business. Next election aTW... I'll vote for you.

Hmmm you mean like Defence Secretaries that have actually seen service, Education Ministers that have taught, Health Secretary's with perhaps a medical qualification?

Naw - it will never catch on

Well, not in the UK anyway...

You know he (well, maybe one of his many public service minions) reads CUK and he's only doing this to piss you off, just you, no-one else

I am actually counting on it

Oh, by the way, I'd like to take this opportunity to send a special Xmas message to knut Osborne on the subject of VAT -

... what kind of fookwit in HMRC decided that:

1) VAT return is 1 month after quarter end
2) EC Sales list is about 20 days
3) The Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) - is a bit different from #2

What the fook could not it be one single cut off date, ideally 1 month?????

" The boss of one micro firm said that it would be “better to go on the dole than try and run a business” under the new regime. "

“Quarterly filing would double our accountancy fees, which would be such a financial burden that we may as well not bother to run a business at all.”

When fookwit Osborne first mentioned that he removes Annual Tax Return I thought he is a lying scumbag, but it turned out he said the truth
