What are council taxes all about?

I would rather pay for the services as and when they need them. If you need the police it takes 3 days for them to come around anyway

Basically (as they say on talk sport) it's no longer 'Great' Britain, it's 'Rubbish' Britain - we are going down hill fast

Do not listen to that station about politics it is right wing daily mail crap. Beside the conservatives will freeze it for the next year.

But once again costs will rise beyond inflation and the Tories seem to just be plugging the difference beyond that. It's a stop gap measure is just a years delaying tactic. The inflation busting rises will be sure to return whenever the economy recovers to a marginal degree.
