The State and Technology
The revenue has been experiencing a little difficulty. This comment from George Bull, head of tax accountancy at Baker Tilly says it all:
With British citizens regularly exhorted to undertake as many of their dealings as possible with government via the internet, it’s completely unacceptable that a state-operated system catering for the entire population can’t cope with an estimated 150,000-200,000 filings in one day.
Yes, George… But are we remotely surprised?

I met George Bull (or somebody claiming to be him) once, on the way home from a New Culture Forum thingy on Islamists. Nice young chap, Irish-American, waffled on about Tory sleaze and reckoned that Nulab were nowhere near as bad. Ah well.
