    Why should he lose his pension? He paid in for that! Surely you're not another one with the assumption that Civil Service pensions are free.

    An Inland Revenue member of staff (quite high) was recently sentenced to 3 1/2 yrs in jail for defrauding the tax office. .....
    Whilst I agree he has totally misused his position he hasn't killed anyone so I don't think a jail sentence is necessary.

    He used knowledge gained in the job to cheat his employer. Organisations such as the Inland Revenue rely on the honesty of their staff to operate. Therefore they make examples of them to stop anybody else getting any silly ideas.
