    i dislike tax cheats

    Why didn’t you mention them then ?

    Specially as they cost us 15 times more than benefit cheats.

    Ah but if you’re merely exploiting the inability of the people elected to govern us to actually do that and legally using loop holes in the law are you still a tax cheat or are you actually a hero of the common working (tax paying) man for refusing to bend to the ever growing demands of an out of control (and touch) state.

    and legally using loop holes in the law

    Read the link, it’s not legally using loop holes in the law which is costing the government 15 times more than benefit fraud – it’s straightforward illegal tax fraud.

    Tax evasion, not tax avoidance. Part of the £30 billion per year fraud in the UK.

    Nope don’t want to, quite happy living in the right wing press created bubble world I keep getting told I’m living in.

    On another train of thought why don’t the public sector workers get off their backsides and do the job they’re paid for.

    I’ll clarify that, why don’t the police, inland revenue, council officials etc. put a stop to all this naughty illegality, or is the fact there are lots of bad people (mainly private sector employees I’m sure) out there not paying their taxes, not the responsibility of said officialdom (apologies if I’ve not named the appropriate pillars of the public sector).

    I must say I’m enjoying the cavalier approach of this bit of trolling, makes a nice change from the usual can’t-tell-if-serious nature of our trolls. Bit of biodiversity.

    I think they’re all riding a gravy train, or something.

    (apologies if I’ve not named the appropriate pillars of the public sector)

    It’s the HMRC’s job to do that. That’s HMRC who have got rid of loads of the people whose job it is to do that. This is the same HMRC who let Vodaphone off a £8bn tax bill; a decision made by the most wined and dined civil servant.

    They dont do anything about tax evasion because its a poliical issue.

    All the governments buddies run these companies, allthe government are in the pocket of thse people.

    You think we elect the government, well maybe we do but we only get to elect the people that big business want to have in power.

    I appreciate I have a job very thankful in the current climate but I’m not happy that the pension I signed for 22 years ago is not being messed around with.

    I also find out in a few weeks if there’s going to be any changes to my job, it could mean a pay cut or a huge change in conditions. However, I remain thankful that the job I have provides my family well but I have to work for it.

    Finally after that my role is being reviewed again, no this is separate from above this concentrates on my grade not service wide, again my pay could be effect, shift patterns and responsibilities.

    So if you think we get a smooth ride then you’re wrong, like any job we are subject to many things effecting it. However, what we do have is those that will stand up and say this is wrong and fight for it not whine get on with it anyway or move jobs for the same to happen again.

    If we all rolled over when changes were being made we’d all be shafted. Many strikes over the years have done huge harm but others brought around the better working conditions we all work under.
