Reply to: Phil Manley question and answer session

Much as I don't like Phil's history, comparing him to a psychopathic murderer is not really on.

So please don't continue in that vein.

(I however would be pleased to be compared to Villanelle. So much more exotic than Mick Hucknell...)

Thanks!...erm I think! :-)

And look on the bright side cojak... it could be worse than Mick Hucknell…..I have to handle looking like an emaciated version of Mr Bean on a daily basis

[LOL17]

So he's the HMRC goon in charge of the LC?

I bet he ain't feeling so smug now.

Project ROAR, make it real, was his baby at HMRC.

There's a difference between not having the required permissions and not having the knowledge of how to do it in the right part of the forum. We have disabled posting images in the accounting forums in an attempt to keep them tidy and professional.

That knowledge isn’t particularly useful when it’s specifically this thread I would like to have been able to add the picture to rather than posting it elsewhere on the forum. I understand and why I don’t have the permissions to add a picture to this thread and that’s fine.

There's only on Tax Tiger King and that's Phil Gilbert. I would add a picture but I don't have the required permissions.

Phil has crafted a cult of personality. All these tax advisors are like characters off tiger King

Not being abusive at all here, but, really? Who cares about whether Phil ‘pops in’ or not?

I dont know the guy. I use to follow him on twitter and read his posts but from what i saw I would say he was one of the good guys.

As also is Graham Webber I would add.

Its a shame as it would massively benefit our situation if all these guys includinig Matt Hall all got on and clubbed together. They all have an extremly good knowledge of the subject and are powerful voices.

Hi Many thanks for this post. Most appreciated. Ive in the last few mins posted a new thread which sets out my position but its going through the mods as ive had to do from a new account (as I don't recall my old login details)
Assume the post is allowed it points out, amongst other things, that myself Matt and WTT actually do discuss matters. indeed I speak to MH most days and on a fairly regular basis have discussions with Rhys from WTT and despite (quite large)differences of opinion on BG we agree that getting rid of the LC is a common goal.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion - however reading this I feel obliged to voice mine. Personally I don’t think that you could be more wrong. Phil is probably one of the most genuine and least likely person to do anything for his own personal monetary gain that I have ever come across. In fact I’d go as far as to say that I suspect he could have made an absolute fortune but instead has tried to help more people than anyone will ever know!!.

Don't know the guy and never will. But in the time he was here, he came across publicly (in my opinion) as a very loose cannon indeed. I would have a very hard time trusting him or beliving anything he said or was involved in. Others may have different opinions, naturally.

[CockneyRed]

Not exactly. Phil has done massive amounts of stuff for free in the interests of people affected.

EXACTLY! .... As someone judgementally stated earlier

[dammit chloe]

Exactly.

Are we to believe from this , that a commercial organisation

• developed the Insella scheme with the aim of making a profit

• set up the website and whatever infrastructure,

• spoke to Phil and said 'will you recommend this'

• Phil looked at and said, 'Yes I will recommend it, you can quote me in the literature, and will I tell people about it, no need to pay me anything' ?
