Everything working to plan.
Ever pound spent on a tax Investigator yields many times that, so cutting their numbers only makes sense to.the rich.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I'm not surprised. Anyone who has to interact with HMRC regularly knows they don't have nearly enough staff and they are so behind it's untrue. They likely don't have the manpower to do investigations.
Likely? Definitely don't, and by design. A statistically significant portion of the tax evaders are in parliament, no doubt.
HMRC claim that only 5% of UK don't pay their taxes.
That 5% is worth £36 billion a year!
I've got my suspicions about who that 5% are. Damn you you single-parent, new trainer-wearing, work-shy benefit claimants! Damn you!
