I posted this in ScooploopTech Support but no one is approving it so thought I'd post it in Anything.

I am aware that a person who has been removed from a loop by the moderator cannot ever become a member of that loop again. But can a person who voluntarily leaves a particular loop then rejoin it?

The bill came as part of legislation known as IR35, designed to crack down on tax avoidance by so-called disguised employees, who charge for their services via limited companies. The aim is for contractors or freelancers to pay broadly the same income tax and national insurance as an employee.
Lineker had maintained that all taxes were paid on his income via a partnership, Gary Lineker Media (GLM), set up with his ex-wife Danielle Bux in 2012.
His lawyer James Rivett KC told a preliminary hearing in London in February that the star had been "dragged through the papers accused of not paying income tax which has been paid", and claimed there was a political element to the investigations.
Tribunal judge John Brooks has now found that while GLM was a partnership to which IR35 legislation applies, the appeal should be granted because contracts existed between the presenter and both the BBC and BT Sport.

I've been listening to two friends,both Labour supporters, debate the subject of Keir Starmer banning Corbyn from standing as a Labour MP.Both have different views.
My questions..
1) Do you agree or disagree with Starmers action
2) Do you feel this will result in more people voting Labour?

Just seen this awful attack online from a few days ago

How awful

Put your clocks forward tonight at 2am 😳

According to the "Telegraph" on Saturday...at least 150 lawyers want to make submissions!

The "Guardian" reports

"Bills for the Covid-19 public inquiry have already hit £85m despite hearings not starting until next year, after the government hired top legal and public relations firms.

Departments making key decisions during the pandemic have hired leading law firms on multimillion-pound contracts alongside specialist firms tasked with sifting through millions of sensitive documents and emails for disclosure.

As current and former ministers prepare to face intense scrutiny of their actions when hearings begin in earnest in summer 2023, the Department of Health and Social Care, which oversaw controversial policies on admissions of potentially infected hospital patients into care homes, has hired Pinsent Masons on a £2.2m legal services contract, and the Cabinet Office has hired the same firm on a £7m “public inquiry response unit co-partnering contract”. It has also hired Burges Salmon, another law firm, on a £9.8m legal services deal." etc etc

We're paying for it of course.

Your thoughts, if printable?

Now what was this idea called last time it was churned out by David Cameron and went nowhere !

Where are all the extra police to catch these people and to enforce it

I got a text from the GP Surgery saying I was due my annual blood pressure check. I can either use the machine in the surgery or use a home machine and phone through the results. I've got a machine and phoned the results through, and the receptionist said they were higher than it should be. At first she was going to get the doctor to call me, but then said maybe I should monitor over the weekend to get more of an average.
So, when is the best time of day to check blood pressure?
Does it matter which arm?

Is it fair that anyone can openly abuse another person in this manner .

About time, there are little bottles everywhere.

As it’s our 34th wedding anniversary tomorrow and officially the present should be Opal.

Anyone else received a present that wasn’t quite what they expected ?

Happy Anniversary to you both Danni, have a lovely day

I was so looking forward to this programme about touring Sicily, an Italian holiday I experienced a few years ago. I was so disappointed, too much messing around as a double act. Did anyone watch, what did you think of it?
