The word 'exam' is not mentioned once in the consultation paper.
So Paul Aplin may wish this upon QBEs, who (like me) have worked for many years in the industry, keeping up to date with laws & regs, without issue, but exams are not mentioned as part of HMRC's plans.
I get the need for a supervising body but as usual the goalposts are being moved by those who have little empathy for QBEs that set-out on a career as per rules at the time and are now feeling pretty anxious about the future through no fault of their own.
Hardly a hissy fit.
It's opinions like Ann's that have led this country where it is: not trusting experts and not trusting that mental health issues are real.
I only replied as these issues are very important and very close to my heart.
Of course people are entitled to their view. And, as she decided to write that view on a public forum, I am entitled to counter it with mine.
What a thoroughly unpleasant individual you sound, Ann.
Whilst you may be made of stone, other, normal, beings may not relish a trip to the office where a) they could catch the virus and or b) spread the virus
Depression can creep from these restrictions. People who thought they were mentally healthy prior.
Do you have any idea what it feels like to have depression? To feel so low and hopeless is not something I'd wish on anyone. Depression is not a choice. It's chemical.
And Long Covid is real, Ann. Medically proven. By experts. So no need to write 'long covid' as if it's not real.

I suggest we all write a letter to here:

Probably won't listen but it's our only avenue of direct complaint, unless anyone knows Jim Harra or Liz Truss ?!
I have written once and will again now..
