Well folks, we're living through the greatest display of HMG waste and mismanagement of taxed funds the UK has probably ever seen.
They get away with it because the sums are so eye-wateringly huge. It's difficult for the average tax payer to comprehend.
Average Tax Revenue from Joe Bloggs Average (based on the average UK salary of 24,000)
£4,000
Recent Government Waste
1 - £2 billion Gold Sales Loss
2 - £12 billion NHS IT system - still not up and running!
3 - £500 Million NHS 'Choose and Book' system - unwieldy and not fit for purpose
4 - £1 billion Millenium Dome
5 - £5.4 billion 'proposed' cost of national ID card scheme
Percentage of total governement annual revenue (~£400 billion) - 4%

That's just a quick, of the top of my head figure for waste. It doesn't take much digging to find out more examples of horrendous waste.
How do we make the treasury accountable for this scandal, and make sure this doesn't happen again?
