A multi-millionairess like all the Tory elite, Amber Rudd truly is every bit as horrible as the persona she exhibited on the BBC Leaders’ Debate this evening. A former banker with J P Morgan, she was also a director of two offshore tax avoidance asset management firms in the Bahamas. She never declared this and the information came out in a leak.
The refined journalists of the Financial Times are of course much more her choice for public engagement than having to stoop to discuss policy in front of the great unwashed, for whom she has a profound contempt. This is what she thinks of her constituents in Hastings:
“You get people who are on benefits, who prefer to be on benefits by the seaside. They’re not moving down here to get a job, they’re moving down here to have easier access to friends and drugs and drink.”
So why did she go to Hastings to represent such awful plebs? She explained that to her friends at the Financial Times as well:
“I wanted to be within two hours of London and I could see we were going to win it.”
According to the normally reliable CompanyCheck, as an MP Amber Rudd has constituted herself as a company, presumably for purposes of tax avoidance. That would of course give her a personal interest in low levels of corporation tax. But strangely Companies House itself has no company with the registration number given by CompanyCheck.
What Company House does have, however, are the records of Monticello PLC, a short lived company of which Rudd was a Director. It attracted many hundreds of investors who put money in, despite never appearing actually to do anything except pay its directors – presumably including Rudd. Trawling through its documents at Companies House, I find it difficult to conclude that it was ever anything other than a share ramping scheme designed to rip off its investors. After just over a year of existence it went bankrupt with over £1.2 million of debts and no important assets. I should be very interested if anybody can go through those records and come up with any different conclusion to mine.
Interestingly Amber Rudd’s father Tony, who died this week, had been debarred as a company director after being found to have asset stripped another investor vehicle, Greenbank Trust, and misused its assets to personal benefit. As with Emma Barnett, we again come across a wealthy Tory whose privileged upbringing was financed by the criminal behaviour of the wealthy.
It is a bit of a stretch to imagine that, nationally, Labour will get the 4.7% swing that would be needed to oust Rudd from Hastings. But perhaps it is not too much to hope that there may be a local revolt from the people she despises.
‘O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!’
Chapter and verse here.
Revealed: Amber Rudd’s father was involved in business she ran despite being declared unfit
Accountant for home secretary’s family investment vehicle says strategy was discussed at Tony Rudd’s home and his contacts were used to raise cash
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/oct/05/revealed-amber-rudds-father-was-involved-in-business-she-ran-despite-being-declared-unfit
Being “involved” in someone’s business is not the same as being declared unfit to act as a director under the Companies Act.
But do carry on, in the knowledge that you can say what you like about the dead.
and she is the voice of conservative Britain what an absolute insult to the British people that this was all Teresa May could come up with to debate with Jeremy Corbyn. Shame on you Ms Rudd how dare you stand in judgement on anyone who is not in your economic position. Your wealth has been built on the backs of the general populace, because whoever you or your family stripped of asserts someone has to pay, and usually its us the Joe Bloggs of society
.
No time for Amber Rudd, especially after this article, but I think it was dispicable of Theresa May to land Rudd with this debate just after her father died.
Yes, and that was the line the Sun came up with this morning. Had the Conservatives not run their whole campaign on mudslinging Corbyn we wouldn’t be in this position of back foot retaliation. The country deserved an adult debate on manifesto policies and costings, but that would be too civilised; the person who called the election didn’t even turn up to explain her actions. What all this shows is that our society is divided by a class system which never went away, and that the most powerful people are working behind the scenes to keep it that way,
Rudd had every right to say no on the grounds that she’d just lost her father.
Why are you surprised, this has taken heat from Mayhem, and her Strong and Stable mantra, seems to me Rudd is being shoved from the battle bus directly under the wheels. Totally stage managed
That’s the way to do it, Craig. Intriguingly, Companies House has no record of anything resembling Amber Rudd MP (Hastings&Rye) – the name Company Check indicates. Her sole directorship listed at CH is of the ‘ HASTINGS ACADEMIES TRUST (07185046) ‘, which appears to support St. Leonards School in Hastings. Zinc Corporation (see the link in your post), which rather predictably failed to make a profit on Peruvian zinc, and was taken over by Monticello, still appears to exist, based in Monticello House. Oddly, Monticello was wound up in 2003, but was still listed by CH in 2010
Rather more interesting than Amber is her brother, Roland, who may represent the intersection of her political aspirations with Establishment influence. And with another bunch of chancers entirely:
Rudd is a supporter of the Labour Party and is close to a number of Labour politicians.[3] Lord Mandelson is godfather to one of Rudd’s children[14] and Rudd campaigned for Mandelson in his Hartlepool constituency in the 2001 general election.[6] Tony Blair’s son Euan was an intern at Finsbury[12] and Rudd was one of the “Four Wise Men” who advised Blair in 2007 on life after leaving office.[3] Rudd has also been linked to Ed Balls and Tessa Jowell of Labour, and Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats.[6]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Rudd
Peripherally, Private Eye this week has highlighted a couple of tax-dodging donors to the Tories. I don’t have it by me today, but check it out. Probably not on the website – get the magazine.
Revisiting Roland Rudd, Amber’s brother: he’s chair of Open Britain, the largely New Labour and Libdem anti-Brexit lobbying group. From which the Tories recently withdrew all support –
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/04/25/remoaner-plot-oust-brexiteer-mps-unravels-tory-backers-ordered/
With Anna Soubry cogently remarking:
This sort of blatant partisanship further divides our country when we must all come together…I’m extremely concerned this is actually about getting Blairites back into Parliament.”
Could lead to a little friction with sis Amber.
“Could lead to a little friction with sis Amber.”
Or maybe not? Amber is (or was) a Remainer, like May. Her rise has been meteoric. Remember they are “all in it together”.
I stand modified. TY. In an ideal world they’d be ‘all in jail together…’
Is that all the Rudds or all the Remainers or all Tories ?
Interconnected corrupt politicians of any shade. And their accountants.
If the Tories perform badly at the election, will May be asked to step aside or will the Party mandarins insist she stay in place and see through Brexit? Anyone know the rules? Would any of her primary rivals really want the poisoned chalice? Are we facing the prospect of a demoralised, third rate, gutless PM gritting her teeth for at least 2 years or more psychologically desperate to be somewhere else? Terrible mood music for all facets of good governance and the smell of blood in the water for the European negotiators. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any shitter. Keep up the great work Craig.
The bonkers faction would jump at the chance of the leadership (Gove, Redwood). Heaven help us if they were actually given it.
BTW I think Craig is spot on that Brexit negotiations are not a fight. It is not like buying a car, it is more like writing a treaty (or series of treaties). There has to be good will, and that seems in horrendously short supply.
I don’t see how Gove could get leadership – he’s a Scot it’ll look quite bad when he, as PM, is asked to leave the House because they’re discussing English matters (EVEL) he is also a Roman Catholic (May is Anglican Catholic)
Gove himself claims to be a Protestant. And has taken issue with May’s Anglo-Catholicism.
It doesn’t matter where you’re born it’s the constituency you represent that would have to be in England.
“He’s a Scot.”
Yes, and??
Maybe Therese will bounce back today! The BBC is reporting she’s about to make a speech saying we will all be better off after Brexit! Hurrah! That will wipe out the kicking Rudd took last night because Theresa is above that sort of thing.
ANOTHER HEARTLESS WEALTHY TORY AND PROBABLY HER MONEY MADE OFF THE BACKS OF THE VERY PEOPLE SHE DESPISES.I WOULDN’T TRUST HER ANY FURTHER THAN I COULD SPIT A RAT.SHE COMES ACROSS AS HEARTLESS AND SPITEFULL
Agree on every line, but that’s nothing new. Tories are what they are, and they don’t even hide it, but rather boast and display their egocentrism and nastiness with pride; what remains a mystery is their voters. Who in their right minds would loyally support politicians that show the most barefaced scorn upon them? The proportion of tory voters who really are benefitting of tory policies is a slim minority, the most of them actually suffer their cuts, and still keep supporting them, under delusional dreams of becoming indulgent rich themselves. Is pathetic.
The establishment/Murdoch stooge Andrew Neil did his best to browbeat Molly Scott Cato MEP here. She didn’t crumble. Neil is a thug.
Amber Rudd tax avoidance controversy
The Politics Hub
https://youtu.be/-q4e6HlmDJI?
Rudd also worked for Gideon as his PPS Sept 2012-Oct 2013, replacing Sajid Javid who was moved up to become a Treasury Minister. He was also a banker, not in JP Morgan but in Deutsche Bank. So funny that there is this escalator from the banks to the Tory hierarchy.
Chinese walls? As if.
Quite right, Sharpie. Thanks for the link.
Excellent piece. I’ve emailed Hastings LibDems with the link, and also left a message asking Peter Chowney (Rudd’s Labour opponent in Hastings and Rye) to get in touch so I can pass it on to him as well.
Whilst searching for their contact details, I encountered the Hastings and St. Leonards Observer, which has a little article entitled “Businesses question Hastings and Rye parliamentary candidates”. Amber Rudd didn’t turn up because “she was in A COBRA meeting in London following last Monday’s terror attack in Manchester”. I’m sure her opponents would be more than happy to reschedule, and to have a larger public debate, if she can be available in her own constituency during the next week.
Great stuff, Craig.
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Here’s a picture of Jeremy Corbyn in Watford on Tuesday.
http://www.lemonde.fr/europe/article/2017/05/31/au-royaume-uni-le-labour-menace-la-majorite-absolue-de-theresa-may_5136426_3214.html
Amber Rudd supported a proposal for British companies to publish lists of their foreign employees, following her ‘British jobs for British workers’ speech at the Tory party conference last year (memorably compared to a passage in Mein Kampf by James O’Brien on LBC). This, so she said, after she’d worked hard not to fall into the trap of xenophobia. What does she come out with when she’s not self-censoring?
Worse than than, she effectively stopped the Dubs scheme to take in unaccompanied child refugees from inside the EU, capping it at a paltry 350 instead of the 3000 the scheme was supposed to take, and despite councils saying they had the capacity to take more children. In the camps in France, kids are being raped and the police have turned water cannons on volunteers bringing them food.
This was a chance to do something good and right, but apparently the 5th largest economy in the world couldn’t afford it. Rudd, along with anyone who supported this decision, like Pauline Latham, deserves to burn in hell. You can’t characterise it as anything other than evil.
On topic, Charlie Richardson said that when he saw what the City of London got up to, it made his long firm scams look like child’s play.
How do they get away with it ?
How do they get voted in.
I’m a resident of Hastings and can tell you she is despised here. It is the rich villages that surround Hastings and Rye that vote her in much to our disappointment. 99% of Hastings is hoping to get her out this election.
Looking at her Wikipedia page and the Talk page for it… its being very well controlled to be a favourable as possible. Almost a eulogy.
As a retired senior detective I have followed Home Office events and all the evidence suggests that Rudd is deliberately running down UK police forces in order that sections of them can be privatised.
This is particularly so in The Met. Her mentor, the strange Theresa May, spent six years implementing this policy as Home Secretary and the ferociously ambitious and financially astute Rudd is finishing it. Look at the debacle in privatised prisons which have abandoned all pretence at education and rehabilitation.
Already most major police Enquiries are staffed by retired detectives supplied by private agencies. Step forward Capita, SERCO , PWC, G4S, KPMG, etc. all Rudd’s friends. UK Policing has been wrecked in the pursuit of insatiable financial greed. With exception of counter terrorism of course, which keeps them safe.
Despicable beyond belief and certainly no longer the part of law and order.
“With exception of counter terrorism of course, which keeps them safe. ”
I would be surprised if there wasn’t privatisation even within counter-terrorism. You would hope counter-terrorism would keep us all safe, not just them, but suspect the way you put it may be more correct.
Michaell
You’ve noticed then.
Of course most of us have long understood what drives these people (btw it’s greed in case you are still not clear about that) and many of us have been on the receiving end of police violence for simply that.
As a pup journalist I witnessed the miners srtike. It was shocking and changed my life. Villages under siege against brutal overwhelming violence. From your colleagues. Over the years I have seen loads of coppers, with numbers removed, laying into non-violent demonstrators as your other colleagues literally turn their back. I was at the 2010 G20 demo where one of your colleagues (re-employed into the tsg after being kicked out of Kent police for violence) killed an innocent bystander.
None of this is new. Read up on the 1834 Coldbath Field demonstration to begin to understand that the police from it’s inception has aggressively created violence to protect the privileged.
http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1833/may/16/coldbath-fields-meeting
What I don’t understand is that the elite politicians in our country really believe that they are the voice of the many.
Last night reinforced my beliefs that they are so incredibly out of touch with reality.
The conservatives have continued to break the common man, break the NHS and literally break anything that is not right wing privileged Tory rhetoric.
Working closely with the NHS many consultants truely believe that there won’t be an NHS within 5 years of the tories getting re-elected. Jeremy Hunt has torn the soul out thIs amazing institution. Morale is at an all time low. Pay feeezes mean that with inflation this actually equates to substantial pay decreases. Richard Branson is closer to running the NHS than every before.
Rudd yesterday was a prime example of what the right wing elite stand for, “in alright jack!!”
I fear for the success of our country and the success of our people, teachers asking for funding from parents. The NHS in dire straights. Is the aging population a new phenomenon???? Don’t think so jermeny hunt unless you are a complete idiot you will have known that people have been living longer for many years and you have failed to fund the NHS accordingly!!!!
Apologies for the spelling and grammar, am writing on iPhone on a Train!!!
Its the phenomena of seeing yourself as the reference point. If you get however-much-money for a speaking engagement then everybody must get that for such little effort surely… or be able to get it if only they tried. AKA narcissism.
I think a lot of them are well aware they are not the voice of the many. This is why they need the mainstream media to try to convince people that what they say reflects public opinion. But it is not working anymore.
Well this is all very interesting and well….is it not pretty well true to form re Tories and their money grubbing?
I am at a loss to know why anyone has any idea that there is much else to the Tories.
It is their facility for this squalid process that constitutes their qualifications for their positions. And it just so distant from the daily activities of people who are not driven by these shady dealings.
Congratulations to some of the commenters (Ruth and others) here who have revealed the ‘doings’ of Amber Rudd and her close associates.
I must admit to some degree of despair that this is the calibre of people who are then given responsibility for our safety. John Pilger’s latest article draws attention to the relationship between the Manchester bomber, one of the ‘Manchester Boys’, who under May’s eyes and direction as Home secretary must have known of these people,their potential outlooks, and their release from close and re-issuing of passports to allow them to participate in the whole grubby affair of the Libyan war.
It seems likely that much information, which might be politically revealing, is being withheld. I think it is surely important that people should be aware of May’s and the Tories’ connivance and highly probable mismanagement in this affair.
We really should be angry that this state of affairs persists.
It is very difficult for ordinary voters to become embroiled in the internecine processes that define such people. It is difficult to come to conclusions. That is one of the main protections, at the moment. of holding such people to account. It is their capacity to dissemble, obfuscate and distance themselves from their actions that allows them to persist. what appears to have happened since the Thatcher era is that this ‘space’ has been leveraged so that accountability in political affairs is well nigh non-existent. Standards of conduct have declined, in accordance with the degree to which it is perceived that such shortcomings can be obscured.
What I mean is that for the most part, the ‘evidence’ , while often damning, is not conclusive or exhaustive, and that standard of evidence is required to destroy the credibility of such individuals. Most of these people are well aware that uncovering conclusive evidence is well nigh impossible and manoeuvre within this open space of uncertainty.
My point here is that the erosion of the credibility of such people, while interesting, is not the means by which they can be countered. Most people-voters do not follow such a process. It is too difficult and time consuming. Most people are left to make judgements from more overarching impressions. Often these ‘impressions’ are rather diffuse and unformed and are perceived through a prism of personal experiences and prejudices.
I suppose I am trying to say something that has been crystallising in my mind over the last week or two, (and a message that really needs to be widely made) , is that far from being the ‘obvious’ or default choice-as the Tory campaign is making out- the ‘strong and stable’ (authoritarian /approach)- far from being the appropriate choice is the worst possible approach for the challenges that we face.
These challenges are really very serious. We are all aware of Climate change and environmental degradation and the fundamental dilemma represented by a plundering divisive, ‘short term’ form of capitalism (neoliberalism and turbo-charged consumeris ) and the demand for the fruits of technical advances which are highly personally liberating.
The Tories are offering very simply- more or less- ‘more of the same’- unsustainable financialised capitalist
business downstream scheming leveraging profits from ‘technique’/manipulation, a retraction of social security and welfare provision, in the full and pre-meditated understanding that this is a way of ‘culling’ the needy (people simply die from these privations, or there is a selective decline of fertility).
In addition the Tories are aligning themselves with the Trump of America. One of the most ironic features of Brexit is that in departing the EU we have invited an alliance with the US in which
We will even less leverage over the conditions of trade and our own political destiny. We will be subject to the values of the US( and at the moment that is Trump) with a great deal less meaningful involvement in the setting of legislation and legal judgements in the US than the ‘undemocratic’ EU. Remember that Trump has today repudiated the Paris agreement. It is this prospect that awaits us in the event of a May victory
It is a self-destructive folly almost beyond belief.
My other point is that the position put forward by Corbyn and the opposition to May’s Tories, is an underlying acknowledgement that the real challenges that confront the entire world (climate change-global justice /immigration/redundancy/technical advance ) can only be tackled by a process of informed and reasoned negotiation, with the intention of finding the optimal solutions. May’s aggressive and sanctimonious ideological position will not permits such a negotiated process.
Far from offering that- May, with her adamantine declarations of ‘ no deal is better than a bad deal’ is in effect saying that she is intent on driving us into a corner which can only result in confrontation, division and almost certainly a decline or destruction of civilisation as we are exposed the consequences of the conditions that will define the future.
Really good post DGP.
The modern Tory Party is just a coalition of Social Darwinists, speculators and racists.
Amber Rudd’s answer in the debate to the criticism of austerity by Corbyn, Robertson, Wood, Farron and Lucas was to keep saying “You think there’s a magic money tree”. She was backed up by Nuttall who believes all that ‘leave the wealth creators alone to create the wealth’ rubbish.
They maybe those thing but what they are is PR people. Their job is to distract the public whilst the masters go about the business of helping thrmselves – the end to this is tyranny it can go no other way – once you’ve stripped people of everything what next? You have to police them with an iron fist. We really are at a turning point here.
Many thanks for that. A fine contribution and much food for thought.
Roland Rudd is a non-executive director of the Army Board. Which is the main management committee of the British Army.
The Army Board is comprised of serving soldiers and politicians. Why is a non-politician civilian with no apparent military experience like Roland Rudd serving on this?
I wonder what your take on this story is.
Who’s funding Britain’s terrorists? ‘Sensitive’ Home Office report may never be published
https://on.rt.com/8d6n
Saudi the country who is killing kids in Yemen with British arms and bombs
What could they possibly have lose by admitting that a major ally and trading partner of theirs is the principal force behind most European terrorism?
Lots of people who die in the Mediterranean or are blown to pieces by British weapons in Yemen have to have been recently orphaned. I didn’t know Rudd’s dad but she is an absolutely horrible person who deserves no public sympathy.
Thats one hell of a generalisation. I disagree and think your wrong to say it, especially for others. NHS workers are pubic.
If we don’t have some sympathy for the least how do we expect it in others.
ps, thats not to not despise her actions, lack of, or what she’s part of. But she is still a human. And I’m not going to forget my humanity because others are lost.
I don’t think you read Will’s comment properly Ishmael
I think I did.
“NHS workers are pubic”
You mean in the sense of being held by the short and curlies?
Craig, I found it amazing she was able to keep on parroting the phrase ‘money tree’ – clearly the latest Lynton Crosby sound bite – when she and her family have been so cavalier with other people’s money. Even more remarkable that she ever accepted the post of Home Secretary when she had a conflict of interest as one of the 30+ MP’s under investigation for criminal electoral offences. At least the police did investigate – but only because Channel 4 News did such a good job in sticking with the story – although not very thoroughly. There has been no mention of conspiracy charges which would have considerably widened the basis of permissible evidence. Unlike your own individual brush with Jack Straw there is no way 20 cases submitted to the CPS could not have involved conspiracy by Lynton Crosby at least. But just as our chronic First Past the Post system left us vulnerable to such electoral shenanigans so it leaves her vulnerable to unseating regardless of national swings. Watch that space.
Besides, money literally does grow on trees where it has any physical existence at all. It’s still mostly paper…
Another confident tory liar. Her choice to stand in for Theresa May I dont feel sorry for the hard faced tory met her type before.
Some further context supplied here by John Pilger:
http://johnpilger.com/articles/terror-in-britain-what-did-the-prime-minister-know
& she got very rich on the backs of us hard working oinks who actually pay our taxes!!!! This woman is just like the rest of her breed – Definitely not human she does not have am ounce of humanity in her whole body…. Why would any decent human being vote for her??????
So Amber Rudd is “Definitely not human” and “does not have an ounce of humanity in her whole body”
Are you aware that the dehumanizing of opponents was a tactic enthusiastically adopted by the Nazi’s. Your comment is capable of no other interpretation than of seeking to dehumanize Amber Rudd.
How odd then that a comment rooted in the Nazi modus operandi should be deployed in the name of social justice, equality and all of the other banal trigger terms so beloved by the ever tolerant left.
Even more odd that the owner of this blog prohibited comments that were in any way favorable of Marine Le Pen on the quite reasonable grounds that she is an actual fascist, and yet sees no problem with comments that are manifestly and unarguably rooted in Nazi ideology.

“Are you aware that the dehumanizing of opponents was a tactic enthusiastically adopted by the Nazi’s.”

Not only by the Nazis, Loony.
Also by that criminal, class-genocidal conspiracy which went under the name of Soviet communism.
Dehumanising your opponent (prior, usually, to liquidating him when you get the chance) is a characteristic of totalitarian regimes and totalitarian mindsets.
“Also by that criminal, class-genocidal conspiracy which went under the name of Soviet communism.”
‘Supported’ by the ‘West’?
“Taken together, these four volumes constitute an extraordinary commentary on a basic weakness in the Soviet system.
The Soviets are heavily dependent on Western technology and innovation not only in their civilian industries, but also in their military programs.
An inevitable conclusion from the evidence in this book is that we have totally ignored a policy that would enable us to neutralize Soviet global ambitions while simultaneously reducing the defense budget and the tax load on American citizens.”

No, not “supported by the West” under any politically meaningful use of the word.
What a lot of covfefe last night’s debate was.
So May shuns covfefe–but, she’d better get used to it. With Brexit and a possibly finely balanced parliament, there’s going to be a lot more of it about.
I wonder if, for once, as a board we can all agree?
Boris whining that the BBC has “questions to answer” over the left-wing audience last night!
What, the people I take it he means. Dam left wingers.
Yep.
Unless it’s to hide something I can’t see why these people would want office. They seem to treat democracy as a right pain in the ass.
Fingers crossed he’s going to discover the electorate has an awful left wing bias too
Rudd is a thoroughly despicable individual devoid of any semblance of charm, humility and compassion. I hope her constituents see through her veneer and send her packing.
Naa, we all have good humanity, given the approbate circumstance or events it can uncover in people part of some awful things.
Many don’t know much better and nobody can be wholly to blame for this. Largely perhaps. Sure send her packing but all humans have humanity.
Hope the voters in Hasting to check out her past dealing’s with money Imagine if she was chancellor playing with the taxpayers money Talk about a squirrel hiding nuts
Being horrible.
What people are as implied by “is” is a gross simplification.
The CompanyCheck details you link to refer to a company number 3890306. I suspect that is not a UK company number because Companies House shows company number 03890306 to be a company that was incorporated on 8 December 1999 as CAS 45 LIMITED. It changed its name to PANTONE LTD on 8 February 2000 and was dissolved via voluntary strike-off on 16 July 2002.
Really? Companies House Beta gives me no result for 03890306. Or for PANTONE LTD or CAS 45 LIMITED. What am I missing?
It’s been at the beta stage of development for quite a few years now. No idea why they don’t finish it. But I do recall some political pressure 2 or 3 years back to limit he records publicly available.
It’s actually pretty good now it’s up and running IMO. This is the first time I;ve failed to find something,
I had no idea it was finished. I have still been using the bloody beta because my browser autocomplete led me there. Duh.
It’s still called beta, but I think it’s been improved continuously.
CompanyCheck in fact gives two entries for AMBER RUDD MP (HASTINGS & RYE), with numbers 3890305 and 3890306. (Companies House has a company for 03890305 – PGK HOLDINGS LTD, a Manchester machine rental company dissolved in 2011). But the Amber Rudd…305 is a non-limited company with 5 employees which has been going for 7 years and is still doing so, while ..306, also seven years old, has three employees and a different address.
The conclusion that the numbers are for a different jurisdiction seems logical, except that the country of registration for both is the UK…
I smell fish.
Aha.they’re ‘non-limited companies’ – should have spotted that. The trader is the company, and Companies House doesn’t record these, I believe. Basically they just give you a corporate veneer and a name for a bank account. Had one myself once, wonder what happened to it…

Thank you. I hope your blog is read by the voters in Hastings, they should know how much their democratically elected representative despises them.
This election is easily the greatest turning point in British history.
