    You think red tape is bad, wait until the grey tape arrives.

    Yes it was and still is.

    But if I could redo things I'd certainly set it up offshore, not for the purpose of saving on taxes (which would not have worked if management in the UK), but to reduce red fecking tape.

    As I said - there is a fundamental reason why such compaines are not in the UK - it's somethng MPs should have concerned themselves about.

    If it's such a bad place to do such things, can get a cruise liner cheap (plenty are/were moored off the west coast this year) as a floating office and sail into international waters and declare independence from any laws or taxes. After a few years can trade up to one of those new UK aircraft carriers they'll be flogging on ebay, for private security.

    Let me repeat the question: why isn't it a British company instead of Chinese doing what Zoom does?
    You are welcome to take up the challenge.

    Though just to warn you papers like the Torygraph will only consider you British until your software gets hacked/it has a massive data breach.

    No linky!

    Though oddly I have to believe you as this government is so utterly incompetent.

    Maybe they should discuss over a phone why there are no successful British alternatives to Zoom.

    P.S. Also using Zoom for work!

    Hundreds of MPs fuming after being locked out of Covid Zoom meeting | Metro News

    Hundreds of members of Parliament were left fuming after being locked out of an ‘all MPs’ Government Covid-19 virtual meeting.

    The Government was described as ‘inept’, ‘incompetent’ and a ‘mess’ after up to 550 MPs couldn’t join a Zoom meeting because it had reached its participant limit of 100.

    MPs had been invited to the Wednesday afternoon meeting to be briefed by the deputy chief medical officer and ministers over the latest coronavirus restrictions ahead of the 3pm No 10 press conference. But when many attempted to log on for the 2.30pm start they were told the meeting was at capacity.

    Labour MP Neil Coyle told HuffPost UK: ‘Inept is not a good enough word for this clusterf**k of s**thousery.’
