Before we all jump on the 'outrage bus' can we consider that the overpayment of income tax and the Bomber Command Memorial work are completely seperate issues?
As I read it, this chap has failed to claim his overpayment back within the legislated 4 year period. That is his fault in my mind. The fact that he has done such a great job on the memorial is mostly irrelevant in the eyes of the law that stipulates you can only claim back the last 4 years.
If they grant him an extension over 4 years then why not everyone else?
You can't have one law for one person and another for the rest - that goes back 800 years to Magna Carta!
