Is there over a dozen officers investigating? Even if there is, from what I have read, they are investigating other things as well as just the potential tax issue. It wants investigation given that she's a high profile individual accused of tax dodging who is potentially going to be deputy PM of this country. If people feel there is bias, well they can raise complaints just like anyone else. There are channels and procedures for that. But let's not forget, it was a Labour PCC whose own team investigated Labour politicians and staffers engaging in suspiciously similar drinking and gathering activity as Boris & Co... but then absolutely coincidentally decided that those Labour politicians and staffers didn't break any rules. Don't recall any screams of bias from those Labour mouthpieces back then. More hypocrisy? They seem to have a trend for this at the moment.

This I feel is one of the biggest factors. I have no problem generally with niche pieces of art for small selective audiences. There are other organisations in the city that have been doing that for years either through small performances in community centres, community radio or more often these days online through things like Patreon or YouTube. I only vaguely know the name Theatre Deli because they were located on the moor in the old Woolworths premises and then seemed to move down to an old retail unit at the bottom of the moor and then I think moved again to Fitzallan Sq. But like others have said, I have never seeing any advertising or promo for their events or encouraging to get involved with them or seeking gifts or donations to them. Not even low level comms on things like Twitter or forums like this. I've heard of and even been to other small, arty, niche, amateur acting or performances in places like the Showroom or the Library theatre or the Montgomery hall or in the Harlequin or the Lescar etc...... so there must be some level of interest into it. I think there's more to this than is being said. If other organisations seem to get their work staged and names out there - what did they do wrong.

Yeah I saw that. Mick Lynch is ejaculating as we speak. Be very interested to see how that's going to work. Some of the current franchises are running through to 2028 through 2030 by which time Labour might be long gong out of office before they even get back into government control. That's before you think about the state of the franchise by the end of their contracts. After all, if I was one of these companies and such policy came into force, there's no way I'd be spending a penny more than I absolutely had to, because why bother if the government is forcing you to give it back anyway. So goodbye new or improved trains, goodbye station repairs and improvements, goodbye developments in ticketing or online purchasing.... What's the point of them investing if they have no hope of either renewing or rebidding on a franchise afterwards. God help us if we are dragged back to Union dominance and British Rail the sequel. Some of us suffered it the first time.

We don't know yet. That is why we are letting the police get on with their job and I use the word allegedly in my post. As for the "scummy Tories" and the "larger amounts" are you suggesting it's ok for Angela then since it's only some piddling amount of capital gains tax on a council house rather than some multi-million hidden trust fund? If you want to play those sorts of comparisons, Boris only got a mere fixed penalty for a trivial rule break but you were happy to make a meal out of that. Like I said, you just come out with all this crap to deflect. My point in my earlier post, as you well know, was challenging your two sources. One being nothing more than an opinion letter published in private eye and the other one being some random YouTube video presented as if somehow they are credible indisputable facts that's she's perfectly innocent and it's all a big conspiracy. Nonsense. I'd rather wait till the actual law enforcement agency does their job based on evidence not tittle tattle from ex MPs and wannabes with a camera.

I thought that's what they did. Recorded Delivery is not necessarily about the actual named recipient signing for it as long as somebody at the address or premises signs for receipt of it. However, if you are suggesting that it just got shoved through your letterbox and the postman themselves signed the recorded delivery tracker, that definitely does not sound right. Do you live in some apartment block or shared house? If somebody else living at your address or location signed for it, that sounds more likely.

What has any of that crap got to do with Rayner allegedly being a scummy tax dodger and liar? Stop trying to deflect.

Wow an opinion letter from former MP and YouTube video from some unknown with a camera. Solid stuff that.

Well why dont those drivers can go off and set up their own organisation and develop all the technology to collate and despatch bookings and track vehicles and deal with all the administration and legislation that comes with handling customer data and payment details and electronic transactions and all the marketing and social media promotions and all the branding and franchising and contracting.... If they don't like the new terms and the increase in the deductions, they are free to go elsewhere as many of them seem to do already given they are working dual companies. I'm sure if enough of them walked Veezu would soon get the message. Why the protesting? They are supposedly self-employed right? That's where they have the luxury of picking and choosing when they work and how many jobs they want to do each day and managing their own own books and seemingly choosing how much tax they want to pay that year? The accounts have it both ways. If they want a guaranteed level of income and some security, get them on an employee contract with fixed hours, mandatory work terms and a standard hourly rate with monthly taxable deductions payroll like everyone else does. They will always have very little sympathy from me. It's about time the taxi mafia are starting to feel some disruption and competition and a reality check. They've had their own way for far too long. It's business.

Even more of an obvious anomaly given that based on current minimum wage, the pre-tax earnings of a full-time min wage worker is over £22k. Must be an awful lot of taxi drivers earning in less than minimum wage. Makes you wonder why there's so many of them.

I thought that was more to do with it being listed and the historic tiling on the building.

I suspect like most similar establishments, at 1:00 a.m. with the beer goggles on most customers will think it like the Savoy Grill. I don't exactly recall the fondly remembered Chubbies or Pepes either being the height of cleanliness and hygiene ratings but when you have had 17 vodka redbulls and crave your cheeseburger with cheesy fries, needs must.

24 hours - since when?

What do you mean by entertainment space?

Based on nothing then other than a load of unsubstantiated, unverified, irrelevant bull spewing from your keyboard. Irene is that you dear?
