Title: Council Tax/Poll Tax
Post by: alfie on 27 February 2012, 21:38:55

Now I don't want to start a war,but what would be your choice.
A. 2 adults living at home,paying council £150 pcm
B. 5 adults living at home,paying council £150 pcm

I personally think the poll tax was fairer,everyone should pay their fair share.

                          Alfie,
ps I expect to get some grief over this,so I'm hiding behind the sofa.

This is where some of the money go'es, a small bus shelter costs £5000,medium £7000. and thats just the tip of them spending/throwing our council tax money around.
Of course another waste of funds are,councillers attendence payments and their expence's,endless upgrades of their offices etc,I'm ranting now,I'm going to have a lie down to cool down,see you later...............Alfie,

All councils spend a good proportion every year on making the council office drains bigger so they can pour more of our hard earned taxpayer's money down them with greater efficiency.  >:( >:( >:( >:(

Where I live, why do we need a council produced PC correct 4 page, glossy paper, colour newsletter, telling us how wonderful they are 4 times a year?  >:( >:( >:( >:(

One of my trigger points was that I would leave the UK was when the council tax on my house reached £2,000, currently it is £1993 which is near enough. Do I live in a mansion, no a medium sized three bedroom detached house.  It is a p*ss take, when I know people on benefits (no council tax to pay) are having a much easier life than I am financially at the moment and they know how to milk the system to maximum the amounts, along with the undeclared cash in hand jobs.  >:( >:( >:( >:(

When I have bought a house in the Ukraine my council tax will £0.
