HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue Circus)

Go on, make these mountains green and pleasant pastures (seen*) a police state#.

It beggars belief.

Margaret Hodge & her colleagues from the Public Accounts Commitee of the local parliament are giving a grilling and condescending smirks to Lin Homer, Chief Executive and Permanent Secretary of HMRC** about the latter impliedly not doing  a sactisfactory job of the impossible job of implementing & enforcing the incomprehensible, unenforcable, (thankfully) loophole-riddled*** tax code that Mrs Hodge and & her colleagues absurdly invented in the first place.

If I hadn't seen democracy before, I'd say it's mad and impossible. Now I'll just say it's mad.

*sorry; just trying to retain the rhyme
**the local extor...  or: not now (maybe it is a police state already?)
**loophole-blessed?

#then again, if the enforcers were to have that kind of eyes, it may be worth considering...
