Having supported this Government's rapacious tax policies for years, on the grounds that politicians needed the flood of cash for social change, did anyone read Simon Sweetman's article pointing out that all of the the money has instead gone to super-wealthy bankers and MPs with triple home allowances ?
Strangely enough, neither did I.
best wishes, ..

Simon Sweetman
I thought I'd give the chap a fair crack of the whip so read about his experiences during his visit to the HMRC borefest in London.
Ten out of ten for producing 12 paragraphs that said nothing or, if it did, it went way over my head.
I'm obviously not bright enough to grasp these things, but in particular the statement that "HMRC participants were asked to commit to two customer focussed changes that they would take back into their work".
Were they given a selection from which to pick two or were the staff members put on trust to create and implement two of their own?
Nuff said.
I rest my case milud..
and by the way Mr Smartypants just why is a music reviewer for the "Dominion Post" writing tax articles in support of the government...??
trouble with accountancy is .....
is that its full of head up yer a*** types for whom life is a terribly serious business that must be taken....er...terribly seriously...this is why Joe Public think we're a bunch of weirdos who spend the weekends hanging over railway bridges or attending "model" conventions...
who is Simon Sweatshop anyway...is he an anagram of Swiss Tony or related to Ronald McBurger...??...I think we should be told...

Having once made the mistake of doing so, I don’t read Simon Sweetman’s utterly pointless articles any more. I’m surprised that anyone does - maybe those with a penchant for a glass of cider while watching the willow smack the leather across the village green - not my bag at all.
Mike Bassy, however, is always good value. He should be given his own regular column here.
Shirley you must be joking
Hi yes hello
I too did not read Simon Feetmans article, nor did i read Mike's, in fact i have not read what i am writing so please excuse my bad spilling.
Chow for Now
Good Post - Keep it Up
F*** knows what it means but it's worthy competition for Ronald and Swiss.
Confused
Who exactly are you saying supported the government's allegedly rapacious tax policies for years?
If, as you say, you did not read the article concerned, why you decide to comment upon it?
