    Wasteful Government spending

    From BBC News

    <
    Liberal Democrat treasury spokesman Vince Cable said his party's research suggested wasteful government spending was now exceeding £30,000 a minute.

    WTF - a quick calc. (and being generous) suggests that government waste is £500000 per minute, £30,000 is only a small fraction of the admin/collection costs.
    Why the avatar? Well anyone accused of plotting against Gordon Brown can't be all bad.

    Save time. Assume ALL tax is wasted, ie approx 600 billion pa off top of head. Any errors resulting from this assumption will be negligible.
