CRAIG MURRAY The powers that be never tire of harassing their critics. Craig Murray hasn't had it easy the past time. Craig Murray: "We are back online again after the site banned my own IP address from posting for two days! Finally comments are freed up; another bug in the system was giving people a message purporting to come from me, saying rather rudely that I would decide whether to approve comments 'at my own convenience', and that there was no need to follow up to find what had happened to your comment. It then dumped the comments somewhere into the ether. I have received a very curt letter from the Inland Revenue saying that, unless they receive my tax return for 2006/7 by tomorrow, they will start to charge me £60 per day fine. I would love to give them my tax return, but self-assessment returns are now only accepted online. But when I give them my Government gateway number, my Unique Tax Reference number, and my National Insurance number, the system still refuses to accept my existence. The taxable income I am trying to declare is about £32,000 - which means I will actually be due some money back from the assessed payment. I cannot help but contrast my treatment to that of David Mills, dodgy accountant husband of New Labour Cabinet minister Tessa Jowell, who for over four years did not declare income from Silvio Berlusconi, and from sources representing Italian gangsters, totalling over £1.5 million. That is fifty times my income in question, he was four times later with his returns than I, and unlike me he had not advance paid an assessment. Nor as far as I am aware was he physically blocked from filing." Politicians are hypocrites, that's why I don't want to hear any PM or Queen or President spitting out their dishonest Christmas messages in my house. My best wishes to Craig Murray and all those who have critically followed their politicians everywhere. 1:12:38 PM
