She had to pay the same rates as the people next door.Personally, I would prefer to see the poll tax reintroduced, as opposed to the iniquitous council tax.Gordon Brown may like to reflect on his abolition of the 10p tax band. It has increased OH's income tax bill by 100%. He is over 65 so will not benefit from the so called 'concessions' that will be 'available'.The disgusting thing about this government is that all benefits are 'means tested'.You think you are eligible, and you are sent a 35 page booklet to complete. It is so complicated, the government wins because you find it too difficult, so don't bother.The government says that there are millions of pounds out there in benefits that are not being claimed.WILL THEY JUST MAKE IT EASIER TO CLAIM!!valmarg

Didn't Maggie come out with the infamous phrase to defend herself that she wasn't lying but 'being economical with the truth'?!....Sorry, but she took my milk when I was a kid - Thatcher the milk snatcher she will always be... >:(
