i had asimilar problem a while back and got in touch with the inland revenue. in my case my employer had been deducting the payments and listing them on my wage slip but not forwardinig it on. the guy from the inland revenue said that as i had reasonable grounds to believe that paye and national insurance payments were being made that it was my employer and not me that they would chase and possibly prosecute if necessary.\nhope this helps

I missed the "Farepak Christmas fiasco."  But why should the MPs be assumed to be sympathetic to that extent?  If they donate a day's pay to this and a day's pay to that, before long they are effectively depriving their own families who, you may be sure, are already over-budgeted for that salary.

Outsourcing is not against rules of economics, it is against the rules of Politics. The new laws in UK prove that politicians can go to any extent to protect their vote bank.

Hypocricy runs rampant in both parties. You know what would be a better way to select our canidate by having actual facts as to how the voted on any and all issues when they were in government. This way you know if this person is voting the way you want them to on the issues that are important to you. What was their absent record. \nAfter all aren't we all their bosses to some extent we put them in office. \nYou know what irks me the most it's the wonderful raises they give themselves. If there is something that should be put in the ballot it's rather or not they should have a pay raise. After all where else can you go to work and decide gee I am giving myself a payraise.\nHowever it's all a bunch of propaganda with mudslinging.

Im not sure what country you are from...but here in Australia you can go to your local parlimentry member, they have alot of pull here and can get the info you need. The other alternative is to go to the workers face to face and kick up a fuss....you earned it, you deserve it babe

workfare is a great thing. If I have to work to make ends meet, then EVERY able bodied person should have to.

Absolutely not. We the American people are the ones that voted them in and we are the ones that should say how much they make and when or if they should ever have a pay raise. They are employed by us and in every other business the boss decides who gets a raise and who doesn't. Put the vote to the people and see how much money we could save on the incredible, ridiculous salaries and benefits these politicians get. I am a registered voter and I do exercise my right to vote each and every time an election comes around.

i feel the same and i'm 23.\n\nI'm living with the in-laws to try a pay off student debts and to scrape the money together so we can afford to rent our own place again.\n\ni saw in the papers the other day a father with 15, yes that's 15 children and two on the way (one with the wife and one with the mistress) and they are all on benefit. last year he received over £26,000 in benefits and he has a council house.\n\nWhy not give to council houses to the people who need a hand on to the property ladder, people who want to support themselves.\n\nIt's a sad fact that children as young as 12 now see having babies and living off benefits as a career choice.

I get foodstamps b/c I have a lot of people to support and some of which are not able to work, some are too young. I hate people that cheat the system. It makes the gov't make all these new rules that make it harder on us who need them. I work hard,but I still need some help.

Voting apathy is only a problem for the elected representatives (MPs and councillors) of the people.  They fear that if not enough of us turn out to vote, they will feel they do not have a mandate to govern.  I think we reached that point about fifty years ago.  If the turn out is under 50 percent, how can any politician legitimately claim to have received a mandate from the people to govern them?\n\nLocal elections are a case in point - the same shipload of cut-throats get re-elected time and time again.  They draw huge expenses (at our expense) and waist their time going on various jamborees abroad to see if the wine is safe for us to drink back home.\n\nMPs are the worse scoundrels.  Many of these thieves draw expenses amounting to £150,000 pa on top of their already bloated salaries of £60,000.  God only knows what government ministers are paid - something resembling a telephone number I should think.\n\nOn the whole I think the British people are let down badly by their representatives most of whom pay little or no attention what so ever to what we the people are saying, once they're elected that is - another five years on the jolly waggon at our expense.  And to cap it all, these people want us to pay for their political parties and their profligate spending.  Oh, never mind, the tax payer will foot the bill.  VOTE NO to that by the way.

The Inland Revenue did this to me too when i reapplied for my tax credits in April of this year. They said i had earned £2,500 more than i had declared, and through this i owed them the money and they have stopped my credits until April of next year. I too am a single parent, they tell us to go back to work and we will benefit but we dont at all. What we earn we end up paying back out. I used to get help with my rent when i first went back to work too,  now that has stopped and im to pay out the full amount of rent which is £98.00pwk. Personally i would be better off on the social, although i dont want to be part of the people that take money off the state to live on and receive handouts. I  wanted to do right by my family and earn my way through life. Good luck hun hope all goes well for you but its a crap system dont you think. xx

If you can get away with not paying your workers you will be wealthy. It is an investment, albeit an immoral one.

That's what unions are for.  So, if you are in this situation, form a union.  Then 1/2 of your dues can fund a Democrat.
