Even though I'd given them ALL the information that they asked for right from the start (the blasted Child Tax Credit fools), they say that I owe them around £4.5 thousand!!!!

I've appealed, and was eventually threatened with "you have equity in your house....." so it looks like I'm wearing a few extra layers in bed tonight, as the money they're taking from me has to come from somewhere...

Talk about corrupt. The first thing they do once they get into power is to raise their salary. Then they take care of their pensions. Then their holidays & expenses for their meetings (even if they don't attend). Us poor mortals have to struggle with no pensions, endowments mis-sold, power up fourfold in two years. The list goes on. Should I construct a separate page for general moans? Like... let's have a general strike because government is costing too much?

The old saying..."The Government should live in fear of the people, not the other way round!"

Yup.

Fuming.
