The issue was about fairness. Everyone should pay for local service etc.

The problem was about 14 million pay or should pay for the current services. However under the community charge (It was not a poll tax, that title was hijacked) about 38 million would be eligible to pay.

Of course the work shy feckless lot who had never paid a penny for anything and expected state to subsidise them kicked off. and unfortunately Maggie was by then not strong enough to fight them.

The current system is grossly unfair on those who struggle to remain in family homes after partners die, kids move on etc. They are penalised unfairly for having saved and bought a nice place etc. Why should they pay more than the family of 6 who are using local services such as probation, social services, generating more rubbish etc. with probably 4 time the combined income
