Why don't they just deduct it from the benefit money of those who live in the east end?

I think you misunderstand. Ken is not interested in profit. Tax will provide.

For those who think everyone else should pay for them.

What's a few billion quid these days?

Stick a couple of extra taxes on evil motorists and tax dodging IT contractors and it will be paid for in no time.

Classic 'Chinese water torture' status reporting, as written about by Ed Yourdon in "Death March", on a grand scale.

Look on his works, ye lesser project managers, and despair.

To know Yourdon, you must be of the older generation, TL.
I wonder how many project managers know of him.

I am sure this will come as no surprise to anyone but London council tax payers beware!

So:

They hadn't been planning on paying VAT.
They hadn't planned for inflation in transport costs.
They hadn't planned to write in that it should be done on time, so now they'll pay "delivery partner" CLM an extra £400m for that.
