No we're not all in it together! >:(

George Osborne likes to say "we're all in this together." But last week, Channel 4 revealed that he's avoiding paying tax. He pays accountants to help him find loopholes which Channel 4 reckon will help him dodge £1.6million. These kind of "legal tax dodges" cost the rest of us billions.

How can we trust George Osborne to do all he can to close tax loopholes when he uses the loopholes himself?

The government doesn't want to tackle tax dodging, but together we can embarrass them into action. Let's build a huge petition against George Osborne's tax dodges. We can prove the that as long as he's not paying his fair share of tax, the public won't buy his claims that "we're all in this together".

I got on my bike today!! the van was booked in for an mot and I knew it was going to need some work done on it, so I got up early and left a 200ltr tank and 4 25ltr barrels, my pump hose and pole.. dropped the van off at the garage and cycled the two miles to my customers house... I was able to do her house and her 2 neighboors, which was the equivalent of a good half day as they are big houses. So the day wasn't entirely wasted, bloody van cost me £650 to get it through the mot though!!!  :(

Get real. Anyone with half a mind will pay an accountant to find a way of paying as little tax as possible.

Get real & use the other half of your mind & you might see the bigger picture.

I can afford it dude. It's the principal. If you told your punters you were pitting up your prices 40%(re the insurance post)as of next month, I can guarantee I could count how many punters you'd keep. NONE. But Thankyou for your input ;-)

I quite fancy a Vivaro/Trafic LWB crew cab with a tailgate rear door...(not a pre 06 one tho!)..  I like the idea of having the all window cleaning gear behind the rear bulkhead and having 6 seats too. When my old van gives up the ghost thats probably what I'll go for
