Presumably anyone who makes similar six figure sum 'administrative oversights' in their Tax Returns will now expect the authorities to be lenient on their ineptitude accept excuses in full and final settlement!

Just been listening to one of Hain's aides on the radio. Staggering!! Apparently we have nothing to worry about - we've had an apology after all, it's a relatively small sum and Mr Hain was so busy doing his real job what else could we expect..... Ermmm....... how about some leaders worthy of the name for a start?

Anyway Mr Hain apparently has taken full responsibiliy for the error ... it's just that in his cosseted existence the term responsibility seems to mean something quite different from that which applies to those who live in the real world.
