The bedrock of dictatorship is an overempowered, arrogant, unaccountable, unelected bureaucracy populated by "little men" who believe that they are working for a "greater cause".

ReplyDelete... and the E.U. !
ReplyDeleteHMRC have sent my son a letter telling him he has missed a year in NI contributions, and that this could affect his eventual state pension.
ReplyDeleteHe was at University that year, and still is.
They invited him to make a payment of over three hundred quid.
He lives on beans, for God's sake.
I once heard of another case of a lady being asked to pay several thousand pounds, even though the 'missed years' they mentioned were the years she had been looking after her kids and thus those years 'qualified' towards her pension anyway, without paying the extra money.
HMRC know my son is at University. They MUST also have known that the said lady had kids of 'qualifying age' as they were paying her child benefit and tax credits.
So, how many of these spurious demands for cash do they send out to people who really don't need to pay..... and how many just pay, out of fear of losing their pension rights, or through ignorance of the rules in their own favour (which HMRC are not very forward in pointing out to them in the demand letters)... and then HMRC have a nice little earner going don't they???
If that is the case, then either; HMRC are just LOW LIFE SCAMMERS, or; they are WASTEFUL INCOMPETENT IDIOTS. Crap either way.
Sounds like the average local authority as well.
ReplyDeleteAh, One World Government - the final destination.
ReplyDeleteAs for HMRC.
Have you tried to get therough to their help lines to talk about anything? Impossible. They also seem to have stopped paying out refunds.
As we all know their computer systems are hopeless, as are those of any large organisations especially any that have government interference in their affairs.
My current saga is with a couple of telecoms organisations and the interfering hand of Ofcom.
Quite how this country ever gets anything productive done at all is a source of puzzlement to me. Perhaps it doesn't and we are still existing on the remaining economic energy of earlier times like a large ship without engine or rudder control.
Are those rocks I see ahead?
