How terribly generous! Obviously the irony is drooling down my mouth by the bucket load.

BBC News - George Osborne extends council tax freeze

Under Labour my council tax went from £700 to £1900 in under 10 years.

The part in bold is the comment of someone over at that article. It is disgusting that council tax was able to rise at those rates. There is just no reason for it to be that much. Councils appear to plan footpaths and take your rubbish away, I don't see why it is costing anyone 40 quid a week. Then there is your income tax and VAT, it's a wonder people have any money at all and there is Cameron telling people to pay their credit card bills. WTF? What planet is that man on?
