Money money money...

Abba's song was  says money, money, money its a rich mans world, and that is quite true in today's world the sad part is that its not just the rich but the dubious and perhaps corrupt rich in today's society. We see and read about politicians from all parties fiddling their taxes by by funnelling them into tax loopholes that are set up by the rich and influential people in the know. We are always being told that we are all in the austerity bailout together. But more galling are companies such as the BBC that are making people redundant on large and in some cases hundreds of thousands of pounds in pay outs with licence fees money only to rehire these same people into the same jobs that they were made redundant from. The BBC insisted that it was only a few that had been rehired. Of course there is always an excuse, these people are hired on a  freelance
basis, or on part time contracts. As each week passes the media are finding these abuses of tax payers monies more and more, but we keep getting told that these so called anomalies are only a few cases. The great and the good the lords, wealthy business people are now jumping on these band waggons, and when the government say that they are going to look into these loopholes and close them the average man in the street knows that nothing will happen. Because the people who look into these things are themselves doing it, and if they do close a loophole then tell the media that they have carried out what they promised, but  they fail to say that another loophole has been found to circumnavigate  the one they have just closed down. This again only goes to show that that corruption is rife and thriving in Britain today. So who can the British tax payer trust. Sadly the obvious answer is none of them.
