I ended up in the square meal cafe in Birchington today - so read their copy of the sun. They had this story as an exclusive!

Wasn't Nigel Mansell a Special Constable? He's probably the sort of person HMRC want in their high speed chases of IR35 avoiding contractor scum.

It's rather amusing (in a twisted way) that HMRC and Government are spending so much effort in blurring the lines between what's legal, moral, evasion, avoidance etc.
Personally I think HMRC is going to mutate into a "Policing" unit.

Ministers said it was right revise the rules for those whose work "can mean the difference between life and death".
I suspect this is a smokescreen probably they are actually after the right to do intimate cavity searches using baseball bats which is in the same bill.

The Inland Revenue gained all sorts of powers via the back door when they teamed up with Customs and Excise. This is going to be the icing on the cake.
