Increases in council tax are unfair for all, some get hit more than the other, but in principle the money seem to go feck knows where.

If the bills were unaffordable from day 1 when the house was purchased then I agree with your logic, however if taxation rose sharply then I don't think its right or even fair to make people sell their houses.

In the next few years (or maybe decades) energy prices will probably rocket. This also will affect everybody - not just relatively well-off pensioners.
I do agree that Labour governments waste most of the money that they steal from us.Comment

It is just another example of NL mantra.
If they earn and save then milk them for all they are worth.
If they are lazy and feckless give them everything they want.

Quite a lot of the council tax increase is down to funding those nice retire at 60 inflation linked pensions...Comment

zeit: Quite correct. They are kicking old people out of their houses so other old people, who just happened to have worked for local government AKA The Party, can have them.
It's only fair.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

Milan, the Europeans have sleepwalked into a common currency and deeper integration. And the amount of "rules, regulations, whatever" squirting out of the EU puts even our Labour government to shame!Originally posted by milanbenes
New Labour are still in power here because there is no coherent alternative and they hide the bad news well.Comment

"the Europeans have sleepwalked into a common currency and deeper integration. ",
I think you will find Wendy,
that the majority of Europeans in the EURO zone and more than satisfied with the single currency and the positive effect it has had on their lives, making it easier to travel and to know in an instant if you are being ripped off abroad
integration has enabled easing of intra-EU trade barriers which again is only good for folks in the Euro zone.
Keep your pound, keep feeding the financial institutions who benefit from a separate currency.
The Euro is a rare example of a unified policy which can have positive noticable measureable grass roots effect on the average man !
