You start to think that the Gods might not be as dead as advertised when you consider the fate of the guy in charge of the Income Tax. Last week, Deadleg Dave Hartnett could see nothing wrong with HMRC failing to get tax codes right and taking the wrong amount of tax from anywhere between 6 million and 18 million "customers".
This serial grabber of corporate hospitality even went on TV to say he has nothing to apologize for. Next thing you know, he was running his arse ragged, apologizing to ministers at the Treasury, Parliament and everyone in sight for his arrogance and uselessness. His partner-in-crime, Lesley Strathie, a Dame of the pantomime sort, is still in the arrogance phase, ducking responsibility while talking bollocks about "The Customer Experience" at HMRC. But that might be as far as she gets.
With any luck, the IRA will decide that these two specimens are just as deserving as bankers and blow the pair of them up. Yes, the Gods are definitely still with us, but obviously working only part-time.
