How about I set you up an expense account instead? You can have 10 grand, tax free. Just make sure you bung in a few receipts, it doesn't matter what they are for as long as they add up to £10k. If any shareholder asks, just tell them you need the expenses to do your job, they'll never see the receipts."<br /><br />If the fictional shareholder above found out - who'd get the sack, or jailed? You for taking the money, or your boss for offering it; or both of you? <br /><br /><br />Sure, Morley is a venal idiot, let's all be mad at him. But I'm madder at the systemic abuse of the electorate. The designers and upholders of the system should also be carrying the blame, not just those with insufficient imagination to cook up sensible sounding receipts. We have been played for fools by the whole lot of them.marksanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520830611440112455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-71299726009192938012009-05-29T17:41:08.130+01:002009-05-29T17:41:08.130+01:00Cato, Totally agree.

That just does not happen.
