Limey, you need to get on to the HMRC site (www.hmrc.gov.uk) amnd search for the “employment status indicator tool”

Try running a cleaner or a housekeeper through that and see whether such a person should be employed or considered self-employed. This fairly accurately represents the law as it has been interpreted by the courts as we blog.

Dr Paisley had a regular expense, I recall, for ‘cleaning services’.
Anyone care to check that out?

If she’s married to this foreign (alleged British by virtue of UK stupidity) wanker why does she NEED to work in such a lowly job?

If it looks like a monkey – it probably is.

It is rather ironic that a Labour Government have built an aritocracy of untouchable “Politicians professionals” that the “Landed Gentry” would be proud of. Never has “privilege” been so to the fore in our society than under this Labour administration. Remember though crooks, Archer and Aitken still went to Jail. This lot have got off without as much as a court appearance never mind a jail sentence.

Thats a very good analysis. I always said that this reluctance for ministers to “do the decent thing” probably started with Cecil Parkinson when maggie -in a rare moment of weakness- did not dismiss him immediately. What has followed since over the years is a host of ministers refusing to step down when caught doing all kinds of shenanigans. Whilst the Conservatives have not been immune to this behaviour it is clear that this current Government have perfected it down to an art form.
The ironic thing is , the people in this country are quite a forgiving lot. Any MP who if when caught out were to immediatley resign ( as in the old days) lie low for a while and do his/her penance would be quite likley welcomed back by the Public some time later. These idiots of course dont see it that way.

Surely you are not implying that this is simply another expenses scandal involving money paid out to pals under the guise of cleaning services are you ?
