      Sounds like we could stop paying tax and it would take them years to figure out. Just to help out we should bombard them with pointless junk mail to slow them down even more

        I wouldn't be surprised if that would be considered a terrorist act.

            Maybe we could outsource it?

              Imagine trying to write the system that handles tax in this country. It must be a bloody nightmare with the bloated tax system Brown left.

                The tax system has been a crock for decades. I believe this has been a deliberate policy by successive governments.

                      Not the word I would use.

                      Another thing, why do they use the term 'customers'?
                      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
