Because it makes a change from someone worrying the local farmers sheep that's why.

I seem to remember that the English really do like Welsh lamb!

there was a relatively small protest at the Senedd reported on BBC Wales last night and it was the main article. Given that no one outside of the area concerned would be interested in the core issue, then clearly the BBC is not averse to reporting protests which are in essence non political, in relation to HMG taxation policy.

Blah blah blah.. The unending tedium.

Anyone thinking that a few hundred contractors demonstrsting for something that your average bod doesn't have a clue about is going to appear on BBC news needs the head examining. But you called it JtB. What amazing out there call.

I actually watched the 10pm news last night to see if it was mentioned.

Nope. Since it is the BBC possibly I was expecting too much.

Twitter seems to be suggesting 600-800 turned up alongside a few MP's in support. No sign of any main media coverage however.

Looks more like 30-40

Fair play to them. If I'd been in London I'd have gone along also. Least they have shown a degree of opposition to IR35

Wow. That's more than I expected.

At least 600 apparently.

Considering it's brass monkeys out there today, I wonder how many did turn up?
