Chancellor's departments "fail to lead by example"

[Barman]

LONDON (Reuters) - The Treasury department has not given value for money and has failed to set an example for other sections of government, a landmark parliamentary report said on Friday.

The report covering 2006/07 by the all-party House of Commons Treasury Committee was highly critical of the tax department, which it said saw complaints about tax credits rise and VAT processing targets missed.

It questioned why, "in a year of poor performance and job losses", senior civil servants at Revenue and Customs (HMRC) received a "completely unjustified" 60 per cent average increase in bonuses.

It is said that the English pray on their knees
The Scots prey on their neighbours
And
The Welsh prey upon one another.


Given that we have had a sucession  of Scots running the show I cannot say I am surprised. It is in their nature to all they can to wreck England and anything that harms or denigrates the English makes them happy. They hope, if they do us enough damage, to go to the calvanist equivilant of paradise where instead of 70 virgins they will get one fat woman with a moustache and unlimited bible readings, whilst beng flogged by ministers of their church bearing branches of heather and gorse.
