While the services have gone down substantially, the powers-that-be have done the noble thing and maintained the charge at last year's level Can someone please explain how stealth tax works?

" You work hard. Government takes most of your money. Government gives some it to people who don't want to work then spends the rest on moats and duck houses." Then: Local Government takes rest of your money. Local Government gives some it to people who don't want to work but were ' employed ' in one of the wacky non-jobs that have proliferated so vigourously then spends the rest on pie in the sky empire-building. Thanks for that L3nny.

Re: Rates
Our local council are building a vertical pier for £xx million.
A vertical 'ducking pier! WTF do we want a vertical pier for!? Oh I forgot... we'll all want to stroll along the VERTICAL pier! How the duck do you stroll along a vertical pier FFS. At least we'll get a better view of the town falling to bits... And our council tax has gone down 63p Whoopee Ducking Do.
