    Default Back in the USSR.

    Well here we have it. The government, via it's lackey the HMRC is asking the kids in school to report anyone they know who is avoiding tax and or screwing the benefit system. This seems familiar.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    It was very unsurprising to find out that this case had no basis in reality whatsoever.


    When critics of the british state needs to invent things out of thin air to have something to critizise, I take it as a clear sign that the british state is doing fine.

    Until people don't have the ability to not rip off the state is is not unreasonable to ask others to do their civic duty.

    In the last couple of weeks we have had a lottary millionaire and someone employed by the BBC taking benefits.

    I am not anti poor. I think that the super rich avoiding taxes are equally reprehensible. Their only limited defence is at least they tend to spend a lot of money in the country and at least remain a net contributor to the state. Benefit cheats tend to be a net taker.

    Is it just me then that thinks it's a bit sinister to encourage children to split on their parents. Because that's what it is.

    As for the politicians lecturing us on the morals of paying your tax!

    I've obviously woken up in a parallel universe.

    Indeed you have, since what you have made of this case has nothing to do with the actual universe. The government is not asking school kids to snitch. Sorry to kill your buzz.

    One module, headlined “tax responsibilities of a good citizen”, aims to help teenagers “understand the obligations if being a good citizen and discuss what should happen to hose who are not prepared to work under such obligations”.

    One lesson plan – targeted at 14 to 16 year olds – requires students to “discuss whether it is good to pay the tax we do, considering the benefits we receive. If it is good, then why do people try not to pay?”

    It continues: “Show class the remaining factfile slides on tax evasion. What do students think of those who refuse to pay tax or try and defraud the benefits system?

    “Can they think of any example they may have heard of in their local area?”

    A further “plenary session” asks: “What do students now think about paying taxes? In what other ways can we contribute to working together for a better society?

    “What do students think about people who try to avoid paying taxes? Is it a victimless crime? What kind of penalties should such people be given when they are caught?”
    Hmmm I obviously mistaken then.

    UK is the worst communist country in Europe, I think, after reading about how they registered 3 year olds in a register if they used the word "gay" in a derogatory manner in the playground. Seriously, you guys need a paleo-conservative or national pacifistic-socialistic revolution to cleanse your country of the political correctness mofos. Just hope you find real nationalists who love their people to do it, rather than undercover commie-liberals like EDL.
