Once again, words fail. They need to raise more cash, as 'Mr Prudence' was a useless idiot. Still is, but has more power now.

So does that mean if we park our car in our garage or in our driveway we get a reduction in car tax ? I doubt it
This means it pays to knock down your garage, rip up your driveway and just park on the street.

This government has to go, and go now.

Great - a garage so big it needed planning permission and wonderful sprawling views of the hills to the front and fields to the back...

Guess im hit hard then.

Id go one further than saying this goverment needs to go - they should never have been voted in initially - simple as.

So my mother who lives in the Highlands (near and in line of sight of Skye) and recieves precious little in the way of amenities from the Government, is now going to be taxed for looking out the window!!!

Do you reckon she can claim a rebate for every day it's cloudy and can see break-all?

If you get more tax for a good view, and then could claim that in a very foggy & cloudy environment that the view is rarely any good, does that mean they can even consider taxing the weather?

This damm government would tax oxygen if it could find a way to charge for it.

I vote for locking the government in a garage with a gas guzzlers engine running. The garage can have an unbrealable window with a view of closed down factory.

Sorry folks --- I knjow we all hate council tax -- but that story is complete and utter b*ll*cks!

One -- we are all hounding Brown for it ( there are MANY other things he could be hung for, but this isn't one of them) -- Do we forget who brought the Council tax in ?? Anyone remember Maggie !!!!!

Two --- the council tax band, we are told, is based on the value of the house ( rightly or wrongly) so --- if you were buying a property you would pay more for a sea view and, yes, you would expect to pay less if you overlooked a cemetery.  If I remember rightly the old rates system was based on the value of the property as well -- so what has really changed ??? .... oh, one thing has -- under rates, if you built an extension your rates bill went up straight away. Under Council Tax, it doesn't go up until the property is sold -- so I guess some of us could be better off.

Three -- the real gripe ( from where I stand) isn't the band -- but the amount the councils charge ( and waste on gold plated seats ).

Four -- all political parties are cr*p. More interested in self promotion and scoring cheap points than running the country to the benefit of it's citizens .......

I disagree - the reason they are having to find new ways to screw us is because that fat useless idiot now running the show has mismanaged the country's finances so badly over the last 10yrs.
