HMRC - Her Majesty's Riotous Comedy

It gets beyond satire. The Treasury and HMRC are crowing about the 'top UK tax cheats'. And that £994 million is being 'invested' in HMRC to tackle tax cheats.

Do these recent captured tax cheats, combined equal what the Revenue so diligently let Vodafone off? Why do the Revenue need quite so much money to find tax cheats? Is it because, when details of a tax cheat (Ed Balls) are published in national newspapers, it escapes their notice?

Just what is the definition of a tax cheat in the eyes of the Revenue? Because it seems to be the painter and decorator taking cash for a job. Anything bigger might be a 'friend' and so immune it seems.
