Whilst I'm in complete agreement with you I'd be interested to hear which newspapers you think are not in cahoots with this whole campaign. -

Big celebrity name who makes money from his readers and who deliberately chooses to not pay tax on it, or
A person nobody has heard of who fell victim to a big Government agency and suffered a personal tragedy.
Which do you run?
Probably both but guess which is front page and which is a lonely paragraph on page 21 next to the ad for hearing aids?
One of the few advantages of joining a group is in collecting the stories of several hundred "nobodies" and punting them via every public and social media platform that can be found. HMRC (and Government) is largely immune from such stories in terms of compensation and indifferent to the bad publicity but eventually if enough stories emerge perhaps an MP on a committee might spot an opportunity for 15 minutes of fame and get Lin Homer to issue an apology and perhaps a policy review.
Don't hold your breath thinking that this will result in thousands having tax bills reduced or written off.Best Forum Adviser & Forum Personality of the Year 2018.

I also think the population would be interested in the details surrounding the accrued wealth of some of our highly placed politicians.....but our editor may be dissuaded from running those stories.
There may be the odd sacrificial lamb but I suspect they are chosen to give the impression that politicians are also being targeted.Comment
