    Default Some maths lessons might be in order......

    Incredible.

    A FINANCIAL shambles at the Home Office resulted in its accounting system producing figures showing transactions of more than £26 trillion: one and a half times higher than the GDP of the planet, according to a report published today.

    Serious weaknesses in controls in the department exposed it to a high risk of fraud, irregularity, poor value for money and waste in its financial operations.
    “When the gross transaction value of debits and credits within this data was totalled, they each amounted to £26,527,108,436,994: almost 2,000 times higher than the Home Office’s gross expenditure for 2004-05 and approximately one and a half times higher than the estimated gross domestic product of the entire planet,” a note from the National Audit Office said.
    So 1+1=3

    And the government says that education standards hav'n't dropped.

    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.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Hmmm, try and get away with that kind of accounting on your VAT return and you won't see daylight for the next twenty years

    Maybe they were envious of the size of the U.S. national debt?

    Home office said gun crime was out of control ....they added air gun crimes to the list of gun crimes, thats why! they used that to get a bill passed after it did they took air guns off and claimed the bill drastically cut down on crime....it is a propaganda office.
