Problem is, very little as regards the perps being brought to book ever seems to happen.<br />I was considering emailing all MPs, drawing their attention to this site, and asking why a full and forensic investigation of HMRC has not taken place. What do people feel? Any point?<br />At the very least. they can't then say they are unaware of what's going on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-90528153986065195132016-10-13T08:18:04.401+01:002016-10-13T08:18:04.401+01:00Not being a legal expert, I wonder whether the cri...Not being a legal expert, I wonder whether the criminal offence of Misconduct in a Public Office could be used to prosecute any public sector employees who engage in bullying, or covering it up, or being otherwise dishonest? This would surely bring justice to victims and send a message to such people that as employees in the public pay we expect high standards of behaviour to set an example across society. Until all the existing laws are considered to bring prosecutions, I can't see the culture changing.

There is no rule of law & no right to appeal, they will not allow the truth to get in the way once you're targeted - they are total thugs and it seems criminal.

If there is any evidence that's it for real, I will write to the Head of the Civil Service to report an apparent misuse of public funds and demand investigation. We are in a time of austerity don't they know and as a taxpayer I am fed up with wasteful spending. I am happy to pay taxes but in return I expect HMRC to treat my hand outs to them with a little respect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29600742611858461.post-90771359946829916792016-10-12T14:41:33.708+01:002016-10-12T14:41:33.708+01:00Indeed it does not give one a feeling of confidenc...Indeed it does not give one a feeling of confidence in the professionalism and competence of HMRC. They are an amateur acting place with such vast resources that senior management enjoy away days at Arsenal & Chelsea and such mistakes are unacceptable. Clearly grammar, or rather basic competence, are not a necessary prerequisite for employment with HMRC. While accepting that there are some decent, skilled & professional staff, too many are not (e.g. they recently lost a letter sent to them recorded delivery they are so appalling - and that's just one case), and from what I understand on here those more professional staff are frowned upon while for those who participate in the nasty bullying culture, play bingo, tell lies and master the dark arts of cover ups the 'HMRC world' is their oyster. Its such a vile environment, which goes against both the public interest or any human decency, that those who want to get on should get out. A shambles of a place. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
