The Idiots of Working Families’ Tax Credit

Sir Bonar writes

Sometimes I feel there has never been a more exciting time to be a Civil Servant. Potential new ideas are everywhere. Really, the Global Interweb 2.0 has lit a fire under some of the, let us admit it, sometimes staid practices of our craft.

And the great advantage of being in the position one is, is that one can act, as it were, quick as a flash.

Take something like The idiots of Garry’s mod, for example. Euphorbia and I were curled up enjoying its improbable creativity over a refreshing pot of Mate di coca when suddenly an idea struck me. What if we used such techniques to send out important government messages to young people? We could do something similar on vegetable consumption, the dangers of Class 1 drugs, or the tax credits system.

We’re already revolutionised the world of expert tax advice with our award-winning podcasts. I’ve not listened to them myself, but I’m led to believe by our communications people that they are quite state of the art, and have been very well received among the online cognoscenti.

Well, would you believe we’ve swung into action already? Patricia has scheduled an interdepartmental meeting for early next month. I believe the momentum is now unstoppable, and before Gus can say “Pride and Passion” we shall all be enjoying The Idiots of Working Families’ Tax Credit on OurTube.

Ideal Government

Let's say what we want from e-enabled government. Let's observe government first-hand. Let's say "Wouldn't It Be Better If" (WIBBI). Become an ethnographer of bureaucracy today! It beats getting frustrated with public services.
