Q: What gives your life meaning?

Hosted at the ICO’s International Confernce Centre in the middle of Londons West End, this event showed how extreme savagery took away the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people and exposed the visciousness of Saddams reign.

The three day event has been supported by the British Government and was well attended on behalf of the Department of Foreign Affairs and many attendees from the Diplomatic and Iraqi Community in London.

Cavendish Conference Venues supported this Humanitarian Event by providing superb facilities including built in translation equipment to accommodate the multi denominations that were in attendance and are delighted to have been a part in exposing to the World how so few can do so much harm to so many!

Truly London’s leading venues for high Tec conferences, webcasting and organic, as the golfer might say hole in one.

 A Delicate Matter

 I hesitate to address this subject, but it has been troubling me for some time. 

 CCV SW Office Representative, with whom I share a home,  has the most unfortunate habit of picking up my poo in a plastic bag.  Well, really, what can I say?   The look I give her …….  Sometimes I feel quite embarrassed being seen out with her.  

Is this  kind of person suitable for office life,  I ask myself?   There is no knowing what she might do next.     Heaven knows what other dark habits she may be hiding ….. and to think, sometimes she leaves me behind in the SW office to travel  for operational duties at the hub of Cavendish Conference Venues in London.   (Incidentally, I protest about  these visits long and hard).     I think the wisdom of allowing her to set foot in the illustrious venues is something that the Big Boss and his fellow directors should think seriously about.    Is it prudent to allow someone like this to  interface with conference organisers and delegates?

Mind you,  they do say that the tone of an organisation is set at the top, and perhaps SW Rep is trying to emulate the Big Boss.     I heard her  regaling one of her (few) friends with an account of the time when Big Boss was walking his children to school along Holland Park Avenue, accompanied by his charming dog, Santa, when Santa did a poo on the pavement.  Finding himself without a plastic bag,  Tom whipped off his sock and scooped up the poo in it.  He would have walked away from it, he said, but for the fact that he was being observed by the mother of one of his children’s classmates.  The SW Rep says that Tom clearly displayed here exactly the kind of lateral problem-solving thinking that demonstrates why he is the Boss of a thriving Conference Centre Empire, and she is merely a humble regional employee.

PS.  I’m glad to report that Tom did not put his sock back on again.

PPS.  Sometimes I think that I should look for a more desirable home.   Any offers?

PPPS.   I’m told that I look rather fetching in my new red waterproof/windproof jacket, and will soon be posting a photo of myself wearing said jacket (well, just as soon as SW Rep works out the technology to do so).    Watch this space!    Big Boss has instructed SW Rep to get the CCV Logo printed on it.

The protestors, dressed as executives, entered the LexisNexis Tax Journal conference in the City of London, while the HM Revenue & Customs permanent secretary for tax was speaking. They handed him bottles of champagne and flowers, saying “we love you Dave” and started singing “for he’s a jolly good fellow, and so say Goldman Sachs”.

UK Uncut protestors (pictured at the event, above) were then ushered out of the America Square Conference Centre.

Hartnett has appeared before the Public Accounts committee to explain why the Exchequer lost up to £10m when agreeing a deal with Goldman Sachs.

University College London student Katie Clarke said: “Dave Hartnett signed off Vodafone’s £6bn tax dodge. That money could have prevented not just the cuts to higher education, but all of the cuts in public services over the past year. If Hartnett had a shred of self-respect he’d resign immediately.”

An HMRC insider said”It wasn’t so much a storming of the stage, as a light rain. Dave has no problem with peaceful protest so long as it is well informed and this wasn’t.”

Chris Jones, director of tax markets at LexisNexis, said: “The UK Uncut protest at the Tax Journal Conference was good natured and done in a spirit of fun. Dave Hartnett did not leave the stage and once the protesters had left the room, Dave continued to make his speech outlining how HMRC tackles corporate tax avoidance. It is a pity that the protesters had not asked if they could listen to his speech as they may have found more things to agree with than disagree with.”
