Indeed that's true. All achieved by the simple device of paying a few £billions to consultants to build new systems for them.

Phase 2 is called "NITWIT" [National Income Tax Withdrawl Information Technology]. It has flexible budgetry technology that basically eliminates tax returns and self-assessmentIt will be coupled to a new law that basically allows governments to spend whatever it likes, whenever it likes, and overnight, the money will be "allocated" around every single taxpayer according to an automated algorithm that knows how rich you are, what you are earning, and how you're spending you money. Hence an extremely good system for ensuring no Government Defecit ever again.

And all HMRC staff can be put on the dole where they belong.

I'm warming to it already.

Sorry you got that wrong it's Tax Withdrawal Advanced Technology System (TW*TS).

It is strange how govt bureaucrats can shift between incompetent wasters to all knowing and all seeing in some peoples eyes, depending on the point they wish to prove

Isn't this what we have just done?

Inflation is in many ways a by-product of the democratic process. Every time that people vote they always support the party that promises them the most. It is hard to imagine that many people would vote for a politician that promised to cut expenditure or to reduce their standard of living.

I always start from the position that any story in The Mail (and indeed most papers nowadays) is untrue unless there is independent confirmation. Particularly if it contains the word "sources"

I'm operating a "brown paper bag to Lichenstein" scheme if anyone is interested.

Just dump your bundles of well used tenners into brown envelopes; post them to me; and I forward them onto my "contacts" in Lichenstein

(honest, I promise I'll send them....what's that knock at the door? .... Hello Occifer!)

How about if it combines the words "informed" and "sources"?

A Government source said: ‘Having information on a monthly basis will allow HMRC to keep track of what is going on with people’s earnings'

And then we might at last be able to pay out Tax Credits correctly and efficiently :eek:
