Reading between the lines

Sometimes it's not the content of Parliamentary reports that spark a reaction from me but the title. Take this one titled, "Helping newly registered businesses meet their tax obligations".

You have to admire the way they've titled it in a way to imply they're doing people a favour, rather than being honest and calling it, "How to ensure we get our pound of flesh".

Maybe a better(more honest) title would be - Bend over andd assume the position.

As long as they don't come up with nonsense slogans like "tax doesn't have to be taxing". D'oh - and we taxpayers pick up the bill yet again.

Off topic; but that Hart-Davis is possibly the most annoying non-politician on TV and deserves a slap.
