Whilst some of this is true, so much of the admin of managing tax's (VAT & Income) by humans has been removed & either automated, online or ignored.

With some of the things in the pipeline, even more so.

Well Bill, we could have a Yank as prime minister in a few years time. Boris Johnson was born in New York, so, technically, he can be considered a Yank. Of course, since he was born in America, he's eligible to be your president too, unlike Obama.

It really doesn't matter who is president of the US.
It's what party is in power.

The party that supports mega corporations and helps the nations poorest 1% and expects the working class to pay for it.

The party that supports mega corporations and helps the nations richest 1% and expects the working class to pay for it.

We're screwed either way and headed for eventual collapse of the system unless things change.


Meet the the new boss....same as the old boss.

I can see that we're as good at wasting time arguing as any politician. Perhaps we should form a party and run for government? I think Bibio should be Minister of Industry and Gadgets. Any other cabinet recommendations?

I'm happy to take on the very important portfolio for idling and dog walking.

If I was Prime Minister, which I'm not as David Cameron appears to have nicked that job, I would have Katie Hopkins and Russell Brand put in a sack with some bricks and dropped off the end of Brighton Pier.

Thats a bit harsh.. Brand has better facial hair. Maybe they could send Hopkins to I'm a celebrity and lose her in the outback.
I expect the unemployment figures to go up this quarter .. lots of ex Mp's with no work experience on their Cvs, a couple of ex political party leaders and a slightly overweight baldy guy.

But what if they breed on the way down and somehow escape with their offspring? The horror.


Far safer to use two sacks,
