Are parts of HMRC institutionally corrupt?

Talking of dishonesty - I’d say those who bought up lawsuits on “human rights” grounds to attempt to get away with what should be classed as tax evasion was totatly dishonest.

Perhaps if lawyers of such failed cases (including infamous QCs giving “opinion’) were disbarred then it would make them think twice before taking money for obvious wrongdoing.

Are councils institutionally corrupt or incompetent?

My recent experience:

6 weeks of missed recycling bin collections and they lost my garden waste collection payment even though I have a payment receipt. 6 weeks of having to phone/email council to complain but no action, just hot air.

Then. Park car in council car park. Buy ticket, place ticket on dashboard get back to find a £50 PCN because ticket had flipped over. I appeal but appeal rejected even though I can prove I paid for ticket via debit card.

I get the feeling, as far as councils are concerned, we are no more than cash cows.
