The HMRC goons who dreamed up the LC aren't looking so clever now

I know I would, I have walked away from city contracts before because I thought they would be toxic to me.

However the big difference is that Govt are in a unique position of setting laws. Most companies will have to do stuff that abides by those laws but they can't change them. Heads will often roll in companies that don't follow the law ( not enough probably ) but in the Civil Service and the upper echelon of Govt the opposite that sort of behaviour is either rewarded or covered up.

Then the problem is with the Establishment and the entire Civil Service and not just HMRC.

Indeed you are right. HMRC can do what they want when they want. HMRC get things into law via the finance act. To vote against that, you vote against the government.

Revolution is required.

Its at the point now where there is no point in voting.

One rogue entity at a time. HMRC wag the dog.
