    Petition to abolish central government was good as was the petition for the PM to stand on his head and juggle ice cream. Suspiciously few are rude or silly, clearly they are not approving most of the petitions.

    Well I logged on and had a look around and decided to sign the petition to make "Gold" by Spandau Ballet the new national anthem instead.

    Any petition that gets support from someone called Prof Reggie von Zugbach must have something going for it.... but I doubt that it's legal.

    I find the wording somewhat embarrassing, I hope no-one signs it and it dies away without attracting to much public attention.

    I aint signing it.

    I would have preferred it not to exist. Not enough people will sign it (for reasons stated above) and therefore NL will use it as evidence that we don't care.

    Using a false name would be dishonest and an excuse for No10 to show we are a bunch of liars.

    Use a false name (not that I've ever done such a thing).

    The IR Brown Shirts can investigate me for IR35 all they like. I'm well outside that.

    Any chance that Hector actually set this up? Everyone who fills it out gets a free investigation . . .

    More details from the petition

    ---
    IR35 was a way of gathering extra tax revenues (without raising the basic rate for taxation) by picking on Computer Contractor's who work in a way that suits the relatively short life-cycles of the industry.

    It paints tens of thousands of honest hard working tax payers as tax avoiders, whilst giving no recognition to the risk and extra work that they have to put in to make there living.
    ---

    Hmmm and I thought IR35 was a taxation concept that applied across the spectrum of the british community, obviously not, apparently it only applies to computer contractors. Cool I can save all that effort avoiding it now then as I'm a business not a contractor.

    Duh - why is there never a brick wall when you need one!

    Smart move that, anyone who bothers to sign it must be worried about its affect on them. Therefore ready made investigation list. You'd be off your rocker to go near the thing.

    Pity the petitioner can't spell. I was seriously thinking of starting a petition for democracy in the UK.
