Speaking generally, if an organisation is corrupt, then it's time to get out: toeing the line within an organisation is all very well if it doesn't harm your health, integrity, or liberty. A lot of people find themselves on the wrong side of the law by 'toeing the line'.

You must have had the kind of truly blessed life that few of us have been able to enjoy. It must be fantastic. Most of us spend a huge amount to effort skirting around the bad stuff, trying to pay the bills.

As for judging people then I'll repeat "by association" they're happy to do the publicity.

Are you in a position to say that the university press release was inaccurate? If so why give it such a new science spin? The money was in the bag, promoting it just makes themselves look like complete mutts.

No, but I've seen people have to put up with so much crap in order to pay the bills I don't jump to judge people, and am loath to rely purely on third parties for information.

I just wish I could withhold income tax based on money that is wasted on and defrauded by this kind of wankery.

Ah, so you are forced to put up with a lot of crap like the rest of us, in order to live in relative peace. You know you can avoid paying tax. There are consequences, but its possible.

No. I've just managed to mostly make good career choices I suppose, on the occasion I'd not been able to resolve a problem with corporate BS and office archery I just found myself another job.

It's only happened once, but what occurred was going to have me taking bame and sucking the mop for some shit that was caused by an unproductive member of another department. I got out before that happened it was their loss ultimately.

Very noble I'm sure. And if that's what a person is prepared to do for a quiet life it's up to them, but I've seen too many instances of people who enjoy being a bosses patsy, and pissing on others instead of doing real work. "To pay the bills".

I'm not sure what your point is, governments are prepared to waste money because it isn't theirs, and fraudsters are always on the lookout for free cash. Then I'm told that it's some twat putting up with crap from the man so he can pay his bills ... fuck that.

Relative peace! you hit a nerve there! I pay tax but what for? My house gets broken into and I get threatened with a knife by the intruder just to have police tell me they can't attend after the event! but can get me some advice on household security and counselling, and they will give me a crime number, I have the fucking blokes face on security camera, and I'm told it's inadmissible evidence, and could I prove I was threatened with a  knife?

Any one tells me I pay tax to live in relative peace are fucked in the head.

Sorry sweetie, you're probably a very nice person, I dont know you and I'm sorry I've hit a nerve, but you're talking out of your arse.

Best regards

That's just the beginning, soon enough most public services, including the police, will be accessible only via chatbots that will eventually connect you with a real police officer only if the bot decides that your query requires that. By the time you've fought with the chatbot enough to drive you crazy, you'll need to contact mental health services, and it will be a chatbot too.

And yes, all that still paid with your tax money.

"I'm sorry Daveeee"

The way the UK police are going we'll be back to vigilantes soon. You should have told the police he said some nasty words to you. They take action over that.
