(really?)<br /><br />Personally I don't give a flying fig what Homer or any of the HMRC imbeciles trotted out on TV state, this whole thing stinks.<br /><br />The PAC should call upon HMRC to make public the estimates for the total cost of this crazy decision. It would have to be the PAC because HMRC will not publish the figures or answer any FOI query due to 'commercial confidentiality' - what utter bollocks, dogs or otherwise, effectively, despite any fog of PFI/partnership crap it is the taxpayer funding this debacle.<br /><br />There are no longer any walk-in centres available for Joe Public (remember, the 'customer') to be able to walk off the street for a face-to-face enquiry. HMG should force HMRC to co-locate with the Local Authority Regional Hub Offices along with many other public facing entities.

Quite ironic given the alleged current lack of finance available, the staff have seen an effective paycut for years, conditions are such that in some offices you would be prosecuted if you kept animals in them, noise, extremes of temperature, dirt etc.,<br /><br />Where has all this money suddenly come from?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
