George Tsigarides - The Stupid FOI archives

[Bungle]

Georges rein of terror is coming to an end. That's a couple of knock backs now.

I hope they don't ban him - it's comedy gold.

Seems like your wish may have been granted. This morning he sent another request to HM Revenue & Customs regarding his beloved WeRe Cheques:

So far today he's made 14 requests!

What's the betting he's banned before the end of the week, I'll miss him !!

All he is doing is chasing existing enquiries but given his aptitude for not taking in what he is being told he will get banned.

Very busy - hes updated about 45 requests today to "awaiting internal review" despite these requests either being answered or not FOI requests or both. I'm in half a mind to report him to the whatdotheyknow website but I think the entertainment value takes precedent.

Can you make an FOI request to ask how much time and resources have been wasted in respond to requests made by George Tsigarides, how many people get banned for multiple requests each month, and the average amount of repeated requests that get you banned?

I also want to add, I keep reading George Tsigarides as George Disregards, as in George disregards your replies...

[Footloose52]

From what I can make out he is asking for internal reviews of the internal reviews of his FOI requests which aren't FOI requests in the first place!

I also read a number of the replies (I've not looked at every one) as a polite way of telling him to Foxtrot Oscar.

He must be on the verge of being banned surely?

Another door closed by the 'department of we don't give a sh@t'

I do like the third one, he is asking, amongst other things, which department is the equivalent of the US IRS. Now who did George work for - remind me

The other questions in that one are who is the the equivalent of the Federal Reserve Bank and the last one is what is the UK version of the UCC.

Apparently he considers the government websites to be unclear on this.

Is he really that dim and clueless?

I don't think he is, he just seems to be hell bent on being a thorn in the side of these sites and the Government because the HMRC fired his ass for gross misconduct(they should have had him arrested for fraud aswell).

Dim and Clueless is the name of my new Nirvana tribute band.

I get the impression of a bitter and angry man, bitter and angry men can do stupid things in their anger and frustration- maybe the FOIA isn't such a bad outlet for people in that frame of mind.

They are an annoyance that's all, but not really doing anyone any harm !!

Dissatisfied with the responses he's receiving to his FOI requests, George has now adopted a new tactic. He's answering his FOI requests himself.

If nothing else, he's dogged in his pursuit of the truth.

[notorial dissent]

At least this way he is guaranteed getting the answers he wants and will cut down on postage costs and the wholesale slaughter of innocent electrons.

[JamesVincent]

Any takers on how long it takes for him to lose an argument with himself and call himself a shill?

[#six]

And he's hit them with the killer question. How can he access his exemption account.

We can all see how this is going to end.

Wow - they didn't hang around long to tell him to jog on.

Dear Mr Tsigarides

Thank you for your email of 25 June.

Your requests were asking HM Treasury to settle your debts using a trust in your name. I can confirm this is not a matter that HM Treasury or the Government can help you with.

But without a denial, "No such accounts exist, they are pure fantasy, and have no basis in law" I think George will take this to mean that they do exist but it isn't something HM Treasury or the Government controls, so I am sure he will now seek to find out who controls these accounts, if not HM Treasury or the Government
