New Media Awards 2008 - hmrconline.com

hmrconline.com

Nominated in Campaign for change category.

I would like to nominate www.hmrconline.com

HMRC on Line, aka ‘HMRC is Sh-te ‘is dedicated to the taxpayers of Britain, and the employees of the HMRC, who have to endure the monumental shambles that is Her Majesty\'s Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC). This site is ‘a living monument to the incompetence and arrogance of Gordon Brown’, who set HMRC up. It seeks via satire and humour to expose HMRC\'s mismanagement and inefficiency, including its excruciatingly painful bungling of the Tax Credit “system” which wounds 2 million innocently-overpaid Tax Credit Casualties/HMRC mugging victims each year, and the loss by HMRC of 25 million data records similarly entrusted to its safekeeping. It seeks to humiliate those that run HMRC into improving its quality of ‘service’, a laudable aim given this Orwellian organisation’s complete lack of accountability and scruples.

HMRC Is Shite is run by Ken Frost, a well known, highly qualified chartered accountant who runs a number of sites dedicated to improving the quality of life in Britain and highlighting political ineptitude, inefficiency, mismanagement and urban decay.

Sites like this push for change by exposing abuses HMRC and Brown would rather we never knew about… and HMRC on line deserves to win the ‘Campaign for Change’ award.

I second that - I would like to nominate www.hmrconline.com
Ken Frost does make me chuckle and I read his blog daily without fail.
I am a practising tax advisor (and ex HMRC employee) so know what he is talking about.

Thirded for hmrconline.com. The information is factual, to the point and well delivered.

Voted (4/5); otherwise perfect although lost one point for no use of video media.

This site is very useful as well as entertaining. Thank goodness people like Ken are around to stand up to the bully boys at HMRC

Hmrconline is one of those websites that is, unfortunately, very necessary in Britain nowdays.

In the daily reportings of Ken Frost, a highly qualified and respected accountant, the truth is told about HMRC. The general media skirt around the ever-growing abuse of power and maladministration that are the hallmark of this nations chancellery.

Ken Frost refuses to avoid the issues, delivering scathing critique in his very own style, backed by front line knowledge.

A deadly combination, that deserves wide recognition!

Ken Frost has his finger on the pulse of HMRC. His writing is funny, insightful and extremely well informed.

Submitted by Nick Morgan, 17 May 2008
I can't really say it makes me chuckle but as one of the millions who has had to expend time and money challenging lazy assumptions and unfounded assessements I think a few blogs like Ken's are well overdue.
