1. @Jesse_Norman you purport to be an intellectual so could you help me with a question that has been troubling me for sometime regarding your statement in the interview below. If not maybe your boss @BorisJohnson could help.
#LoanCharge https://twitter.com/BBCPolitics/status/1151820634646646784

2. You state you cannot go after promoters as they did nothing actually illegal & that you don't want to bring in retrospective legislation to pursue them. So my 1st question is at what point in this transaction from promoter to user does the legality change? #LoanCharge

3. Let's call the promoters Party A & end users Party B. So A has a product that is legal, they sell the product to Party B & Party A charges a fee. Now you are saying that Party B has acted outside the law & you will bring in retrospective legislation to punish them #LoanCharge

4. The same retrospective law changes that you said you wouldn't bring in to go after the promoters. Is that because some of the promoters like Doug Barrowman are @conservatives party donors? Is it because the little people wouldn't fight back?

5. I've racked my brains & tried to think of a transaction where legality changes between seller & buyer. How about a gun dealer selling a gun legally to someone & then they use it to commit murder. But then unlike victims of #LoanCharge even a murderer has access to the courts.

6. @Jesse_Norman we haven't committed murder, we only took professional advice. Yet the #LoanCharge removes our access to the normal judicial process. You brought in retrospective legislation for us but not for promoters. So Mr Academic explain how this works. I'm all ears.
