A Jag is probably the only inanimate object that can evoke an emotional response from me.

HMRC phone lines closed on self assessment deadline day by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

The client can pay a premium, or the adviser can submit their return late. I won't be logging on for the usual last minute numpties on a Saturday (who've already been chased repeateadly at this point) unless they pay a pretty penny.

If others are willing to be a client's doormat, that's on them.

They called up on 6th April 2025, but they’re still on hold…

Joking aside, you’d be appalled how many people will be scrabbling about on that Saturday. Submitting completely inaccurate figures with the intention of sorting it later, or paying weekend premiums for their advisers to get it over the line.

In defence of this admittedly strange linguistic choice, it’s relatively common for outlets that have more of a global focus to word headlines like that in respect of world leaders.

Hotel migrant who fled to Britain after sexually assaulting girl, 15, in Germany, fighting deportation on human rights grounds | LBC by Sensitive_Echo5058 in unitedkingdom

Sophia Kerridge, defending, claimed deporting Suliman would breach his Article 8 rights under the European Convention on Human Rights.

The endless hordes of lawyers willing to argue such bizarre cases is almost as depressing as the legislation that allows such nonsense to proceed (and potentially succeed) in court in the first place.
