Taxman Pacman
Taxman Gordon and his 111 stealth taxes have been turned into a Pacman game by the Conservative Party. It’s quite good timing considering the news that the tax burden has risen by 50% in the past decade.
With the longest taxcode in the world, try as you might you’ll never get away from taxman Gordon!
Very clever indeed. Hopefully it also signals a return to a [reasonable] tax-cutting agenda within the Conservative Party.
The only possible downside to this is that it could be wilfully interpreted as the Tories encouraging people to avoid paying taxes. But that would require utter stupidity.
The game is a clever idea and I especially like the use of the Conservative logo as the energisers, but to be effective the game really does need a substantial amount of marketing.

It is clever. Though I always wonder about these kinds of marketting campaigns- either they work exceptionally well or more likely they either embarrass people or are forgotten. I’ll have to play this though!
I played it, but I was never very good at Pacman!
