Also registered address of Bridge Consultancy Services Ltd with Mr Bridge and his wife being the sole directors, which is in the process of being wound up, with the Liquidators statement dated 24th November, 2016 stating that there are debts of nearly £200,000 and no assets available at present.

Credit to Sluffy for pointing all this out because some posters were having a go at him because of his views on the ST and it looks like Sluffy was correct in his opinions.

As it stands at the moment im doing ok, but all it takes is a piece of legislation to change or a new approach to what i do and i may have the same fortunes.  Does that then mean that i should give up on everything and never try to be a success at anything again?

There but for the grace of god.

Quite right Johnny. And despite my reservations about Ken Anderson,I'm willing to give him a reasonable crack of the whip,and that goes for the ST too.
To be fair to them both,I've seen positive signs in recent weeks,and I'm hopeful of a more profitable exchange of views between both parties.
Rather like Brexit, the ST project may take another two or three years to play out,but I'll give them that chance. 
And King Bill is right. Let's give both parties a chance.
