HMRC is Shite nominated for New Statesman award
May 12, 2008
Ken Frost, one of my favourite campaigners has announced that his site HMRC is Shite has been nominated for the New Statesman New Media Awards 2008 in the category of Campaign For Change. According to Ken:
This site is a living monument to the incompetence and arrogance of Gordon Brown, who set HMRC up.
Recent gems include: Heads we win, tails you lose where Ken said:
Changes proposed by the Orwellian named Ministry of Justice will have a negative impact on those seeking to appeal unfair VAT bills. The proposed rule change means that the appellants will no longer be entitled to claim costs of the tribunal, even if successful.
and, HMRC joins the Masons:
HMRC, in the face of plummeting morale, claim that they are changing their complex and incomprehensible management structure to try to bring in some elements of corporate governance and efficiency from the real world.
HMRC scanned the “talent” pool within its organisation and found that it is sadly deficient; therefore the posts were to be advertised in the real world.
Isn’t it rather odd then that these two posts are not advertised on the HMRC website?
In fact they have never been advertised on the HMRC site.
Keep it coming Ken - we need that sort of does of irreverent realism.
