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

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.

Tories want to sell council houses to the people living in them. That is scandalous as these houses are there for the people who can not afford houses. Can't blame the tenants, if you are offered £50,000 profit anyone would take it, but this is all wrong.

Master that's been going on since the 80's under Thatcher, I'm surprised there are any council houses left!

Another unsustainable bubble.

How can you allow council tenants, many on benefits be allowed to buy houses on the cheap and sell them for big profit, whilst other hard working people are paying mortgages just to keep a roof over their head. Oh yes when you want their votes..
