Parliamentary Debate Tuesday 20th November

Fight not flight (non-BG thread)
Volunteering any information to HMRC on the assumption you are being 'helpful' only ensures further information requests (See notes from Keith Gordon) - You will be stuck on the spreadsheet of a mindless goon who loves following orders. The only reasonable action left that I can see is to fight...- foobar
