The bullshit events of March 2020 caused the country to WFH, years later it's the lessons learned script. We'll totally forget the billions in VAT lost for Eat Out Help Out and filthy back handed contracts
ReplyDeleteIt's not a problem, the problem is the bloated management structure of HMRC, silo mentality and petty little empire builders. Not AOs saving a fortune on car parks and train fares because they took five fewer calls a day
I couldn't give shite what JRM thinks or the rest of them for that matter.
@12:56.
ReplyDeleteSo true. The PPE contracts frauds are the UKs equivalent of the Epstein files. That Scottish woman may get jailed as a Ghislaine Maxwell - style token sacrifice.
Meanwhile those too rich and powerful to prosecute will carry on as normal.
I don't care whether fraud is being committed by an "AO" at HMRC or the "rich and powerful" - a criminal is a criminal, they should all face consequences.
ReplyDeleteIt's disgusting that HMRC Senior Management have allowed this to go on unchecked.
@16:58.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll find that skiving isn't a criminal offence.
@17:37 Pretending to be at work when you are not, including the deception of 'drive by logins', most certainly would be a criminal offence.
DeleteTry reading The Fraud Act 2006. Let us know if you struggle with any of the words 🤣😂
@12:14. That's interesting. So an MP grifting in the US rather than representing their constituents in say, Clacton on Sea, would be committing a criminal offence.
DeleteGood luck getting that through a court of law.
Great attempt at deflection. We agree with 12:14. The truth is any and all HMRC employees who've been rumbled must be investigated and, where evidence of fraud exists, prosecuted.
DeleteWhy are the workshy so afraid of Farage? Is it because they know he'll cut their handouts and make them get a J O B .
DeleteBring it on !!!
@14:09 That and the reality that Reform will make HMRC employees actually work from the offices we pay for, ergo they'll end this scam
DeleteJust to let all you angry gammons know. Im heading off on my 2 hour round trip to get into the office where I'll be sitting in a noisy office with a headset on to speak to my team as my nearest team member is based 100s of miles away in another regional office. I do a better job on my home days as it's quiet and I can concentrate. I also feel better without the commute.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever thought about getting a proper job? Silly question
DeleteHaha good point. Many are just grifters taking the loot until someone dares to sack them. Vile bunch
Delete@12:24.
DeleteAssessing and collecting the nation's revenue is a very proper job.
So for once you're right - a very silly question indeed.
By the way, thought of any examples of corruption that you've exposed yet?
Thank you, Jacob, for giving a voice to the silent majority who've had enough of the poor service provided by HMRC.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ken for this platform - we can only hope that there'll be fundamental change at HMRC. At a political level, the government should urgently cut public sector waste (like the working from home scam) and direct the savings into essential public services (like the NHS) and tax cuts for those who generate the nation's wealth.
Your job is more than just a task list! You have a responsibility to interact with others, mentor juniors and share best practice.
ReplyDeleteExactly. And that can't be done while 'working' from/hiding at home.
DeleteAt this point I'd have to conclude that nothing less than a clear out of at least 50% of HMRC employees is needed to cut costs.
ReplyDeleteThe working from home scam proves HMRC is massively overstaffed. The money saved on these wasters' wages could be used to fund much-needed tax cuts for self employed people.
The champagne corks would be popping on the day that happens. Your point is a sensible one.
