When the SFO launched its enquiry into the alleged 1986 Saudi slush funds, someone must have taken a decision to start and fund that enquiry. Who was it?  Should their head roll?

Given that the law that this enquiry was launched under did not come into being until 2001, and does not allow for the law to be applied retrospectively, nor as I understand it on foreign territory, what incompetent signed this off.

For 2 and a half years the SFO has been spending tax money on an enquiry that by law could have no other outcome than to embarrass.   Is this therefore not fraud.  Not the mistaken use, but the fraudulent use of taxpayers money, because the enquiry had no basis in law. 

When a councillor is found to be misusing public funds, he is forced to repay those funds, placed on a fraud register and is barred from office.  Will the same will apply to the Civil Servants and/or Government minister whose name appears on the sign off documents for this enquiry.

Those who agreed to the enquiry, agreed its budget and manpower and gave the go-ahead for 2 ½ years must be seen to be punished. Heads should roll.

Why?  So that we never see such corrupt use of our public funds again, and because I along with a vast majority of the public, the citizens of this country, the tax payers, have now had enough. 

We’ve  had enough of the lies from government ministers. All too often we have heard assurances in the Commons (where such things are immune), only to find that something completely different is the reality.

We’ve  had enough of the spying on our own people.  Loyalty Cards, Credit Cards, CCTV, Blue post cameras, safety cameras, email monitoring, phone call monitoring, mobile phone tracking, to name but a few.

We’ve  had enough of the incompetence of the Departments of State.  The Home Office ‘not fit for purpose’.  Well this government has had it since 1997, but how many incompetent and corrupt Home Secretaries does it take to put that right?  Heads should roll.

We’ve  had enough of the cover ups from Senior Civil Servants.  I have lost track of the number of newspaper articles that cover off this subject.  Heads should roll.

We’ve  had enough of wasting our tax money on aborted or ill conceived projects. Especially the IT related projects, Home office computers, Inland Revenue, Passport Office, NHS, Child Support, Criminal Records Bureau, see ‘The cycle of cover-ups and failure that costs us millions’, The Times, Sept 19^th 06.  Heads should roll. 

According to the National Audit Office reports and the Public Accounts Committee, as published in the press, the majority of departments now spending tax money on IT projects didn’t know how much they were spending or when the projects would be complete.  Why are these incompetents still working. Heads should roll.

The breaking scandal of the smart chips in the new i-Passports, and the madness goes on.

The Govt dept, oops I mean Agency the SIA (Security Industry Authority), that licences all security firms and employees from building security to Airports already use smart cards, issued by…. A foreign firm, Oberthur Card Systems from France, using the same kind of smart chips as the passports.  The SIA maintain a public database of everyone licenced by them as well, so if you cant get enough information from cloning the chips, just get it from the database.  Incompetence or naïve madness.  Just wait till all our airports are infiltrated by counterfeit security cards then perhaps the govt will listen to the technical experts about the passports.

Do we not believe that the security of our own people was too important to farm out. Don’t they remember that our security laws don’t extend to France, don’t they remember that our DPA laws don’t extend to France.  Its just plain incompetent. Heads should roll.

We’ve  had enough of being charged for everything short of breathing.  Licences for everything, to do anything, to watch anything, to hear anything, to fish, drive, TV, etc. Fines for not filling in forms, fines for filling in forms wrong, fines fines fines, every government department now has a penalty programme backed up with fines.  Road charging, congestion charging, parking meters, car parks, and so it goes on, and on… and more to come. Enough is enough, the public is running out of money.

We’ve  had enough of the implied corruption.  The Loans for Peerages scandal is but one. Heads must roll.

We’ve  had enough of every government department and local authority telling us what to do, how to do it, when we can do it, and where we can do it.   Enough.

Our lives are no longer freely our own.    The Nanny state has taken over, and it makes the assumption that everything we do will be either dangerous, illegal, fraudulent, or downright stupid.

This government believes that we are unfit to make any rational decisions of my own, so it passes a plethora of ill conceived and poorly thought out laws to do it for us.

Well, we have a message for the Government, WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
