Lots of sour grapes on here,- just like the EEs who clean/ valet your car, clean your windows, fix your taps,or any other self-employed bod,some will declare it if they have any sense, as "entertainers" or " therapists",especially if they dont want to fall foul of the many money-laundering traps these days,others wont,- if they are stupid enough to claim benefits and paste their face photo online, they deserve what they get-from what I hear the money aint what it used to be ten/ fifteen years ago,so I doubt in reality most have reached the Vat thresh-hold, when they had twenty competitors working in a County, now there are literally 100s,so a lot more smaller pieces of the pie, most of which are Ees and legally allowed to send most of the money home to the family without paying Uk tax, I would be more concerned about Aw getting hacked,( if it hasnt already), and those mugs who have proved their identity in order to pay "Vat"-
(like you have to when you buy something from a shop,or online-really lol)- having all their details online for all to view, including a future Labour Govt?
