Hi Topper, having read some of what has been said, I would like to shove a tanners worth in support of you.
When someone tries to control a point of view from an individual then that is nothing short of disgraceful. Forums are about free speech and exactly that. Censorship or censure should not be allowed. What is being said by an individual is their point of view but bullying to shut someone up to curtail the tread should not be allowed. So lets have an open forum.... Ah Hum..... The government would like to control every aspect of our lives if only it could. So to work we have someones "notion" "lets organise lets regulate lets control". So you have a job and have it for many years you do the job with no problems and hey presto someone comes along with the power to take that job off you just because you don't bend to the idea of paying Mr Brown and his cronies some more of your hard earned cash as another Stealth Tax. Of course there is always the union fighting to get your subs paid... but what if I am not in a union (after all it is a free country) what if nobody was in a union... just by the fact that concessions have been made indicates that the Stealth Tax was wrong "Registration Fees" in the first place. Remember when things go wrong it is usually because someone has decided to fix what was not broken in the first place. VRCT appeared from nowhere in an instant just like the universe and guess what you have to pay for the priveledge of keeping your job sounds a bit like a car parking charge levied by a Wheel Clamper does'nt it. I like my job but I abhore state interference driven by agents of the state in their many guises and some of them seem to be appearing in this thread. As for Unions what union negotiates a pay cut for it members... all of them ... why because they are all in the pockets of this sleazy government. All spelling mistakes are on purpose .... why because I Can!
