This is really a post about an extremely useful and helpful website I found the other day. The site author became a journalist in the early noughties after doing a course and somehow managed to fall foul of HMRC Tax Office. The result of his findings are brought together in an extremely useful website, with many subsections leading on to other useful connected material, including citizens rights where the HMRC are concerned.
According to the website, many employees of HMRC tax office hate their jobs and there is apparently a lot of workplace internal bullying of employees within the HMRC tax office organisation.
The really abominable thing though, is how the public are lied to and abused, by the HMRC tax office and HMRC tax credits organisation. No investigation/examination or review is ever random according this website, despite the public being told differently.
I would personally say that probably after a few bouts of indignation, the majority of the public will give in, either for a quiet life or because they are scared. The truth is, despite the Human Rights Act 1998 being in force, it is largely ignored, especially by the government authorities, usually because HM's Government keep bleating about prisoners or foreigners in the UK abusing the The Human Rights Act 1998. Truth is, the government do not like this Act at all and try to malign it in public wherever possible. This is true of all the political parties in the UK.
Billionaire government ministers and people who have been given peerages for being actors, sportsmen or entertainers don't care in the slightest about the general public, only their own glory. That is also true of some, (but not all) MPs and local councillors. Public funding is cut back more and more, so that the public cannot get free funding for a solicitor to help them fight their case and greedy capitalist solicitors charge more and more for their services. Victims of HMRC tax office reviews are left with woefully inadequate Citizen's Advice options. Again Citizen's Advice Bureau is an arrogant but actually useless organisation where a few advice workers get paid good money and everyone else is a volunteer. I know because I was once a CAB volunteer myself. Hard work for no pay.
NB.By the way this is not a 'rant'. The word 'rant' used for someone having an opinion and airing their views comes from a religious sect of Dissenters called Ranters. We don't say someone is having an Islam if they express their views, or having a Sikh or a Catholic, so in just the same way using the word 'Rant' to describe someone expressing their feelings could be seen as religious discrimination.
Someone once told me I'd make a good Shop Steward. I don't believe the man in the street should be trampled underfoot.I used to belong to The Socialist Worker's Party and sold their newspaper for them. I think stately homes should be turned in to housing for the homeless and don't believe in peerages. However I think it is all well and good fighting of the rights of others, provided that the people you help are prepared to help you equally too. It should be a help co-operative, as the saying goes 'Charity Begins At Home'.
In the local supermarket they give out green counters for customers to put in clear plastic boxes with various named charities and the charity with the most counters gets a financial donation from the supermarket. I don't put the counters in any of the boxes but leave them on top for someone else to put in. When a charity does something for me then I'll do something for them. No until. Once again many charity workers are claiming high wages from funding. A lot of donations you make to television advertisements will pay the charity worker's wages!
