    Taxman to waste even more taxpayer's money

    I suppose it is too much to expect common sense to permiate the depths of the treasury

      Well, what have they got to lose?

      If they win, we pay for it for it through taxes. If they dont win, we pay for it through taxes. If they want to find more ways to take more money from us, we fund all their Machiavellian escapades through taxes.

      Imagine you were given access to the income of a country, and then ushered into a casino, that pretty much describes the inland revenue. I wonder if Taxpayers are entitled to a windfall rebate for having some 800+ buildings / prime real estate we have have paid for sold off by the ir (deliberately lower case) to a foreign owned company based in a tax haven.

        I want these guys dead! I want their families dead! I want their houses burned to the ground! I want to go there in the middle of the night and piss on their ashes!

          Is this a new variant of happy slapping Xog....?

          P.S I pass an ir office on my way to work. I work not far from Cumbernauld. Looks like a prison.

            aye mcquiggd. very succinct. and what is particularly hard to stomache is that your 'imaginary' scenario is but the tip of a vast and towering iceberg.

              IR offices do not have letter boxes. I wonder why.

                  If that was the case they would welcome dog turds sent by registered post.

                  And then hopefully recycle them in their staff canteen.

                    Oi, Zeitie, do you get a special Green Giant Lizard 'Self Assessment Form'... ?

                    Do you have to declare how many tax inspecter sodomites you have rid the world of, or is that included in your £5 a day subsistance allowance?
