Perhaps
they should give the job to Gordon Brown considering he made such a wonderful effort last time around.
Did O Smith say anything about IR35 on those >SPA?
Did Owen Smith MP say anything about the IR35 burden on those workers aged over SPA (State Pension Age), which in my opinion - to use Smith's alleged words - under Labour since 2000 '... was “disgraceful” and not based on convincing evidence' ?
I'd be glad for any feedback from any one out there please ...

@TBK "Spreadeagled" by the "LIesBOR" affair?
"Spreadeagled" by the "LIesBOR" affair?
Hi TBK! Where's Captain Mainwaring or ... even Sergeant Wilson, [of the Warmington-on-Sea Bank {called Swallow’s Bank (on TV) or Martin’s Bank (in the film)} in "Dads' Army"], when needed ?
So much for Labour's "Light Touch Regulation" and its inevitable legacies ... OR was it Labour's "Light fingered de-regulation" culture? Any apologies from O Smith MP?
'BBA LIBOR' is Trade Mark No E1315159.Should renewal be allowed?
'BBA LIBOR' is Trade Mark Number E1315159. Here's a link:-
http://www.ipo.gov.uk/ohim?ohimnum=E1315159
QUESTION: Should renewal be allowed of Trade Mark Number E1315159, because it seems to me to have been used in a generic way AND when I saw a British Bankers' Association (BBA) rep being interviewed on TV last week (allegedly Angela Knight perhaps?) she seemed to me - in my opinion (IMO) - to be keen to stress the ownership by BBA, but not at all keen to accept the responsibility/accountability for the veracity of its calculation?
Surely - as professionally trained accountants - we all should be upset by the scandal of LIBOR "mis-calculation" etcetera and, as part of Corporate Social Responsibility, we should write to the Intellectual Property Office to request that action be taken to either (1) strike off, or (2) bar any renewal of this Trade Mark (Filing date: 20 September 1999) when it's next due.
All agreed?
We can get upset
as much as we like it won't make any difference. Those in power will do what they like and our associations will sit by and do nothing.
There is a slight glimmer of hope that DC is actually seeing what has been happening (and we have been saying) but then that could just be "electioneering".
