I hate HMRC, total idiots and their whole system is designed to cost you money. If they didn't f**k things up, people wouldn't need to phone them and be charged per minute with obscene wait times. Amount owed was paid in November, letter arrives today dated Jan changing my tax code. Wan*ers! 🤬😡

Success – an important win for nature! 🐝 Today, the UK Government made the only sensible choice - listening to the science and upholding the ban on neonicotinoids. This pesticide doesn’t belong in our countryside. Farmers now need support to adopt nature-friendly alternatives.
