    Council tax rise pushes family bills over £2,000

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...048931,00.html

    "COUNCIL tax bills are to increase by more than twice the level of inflation this year, marking a doubling of the property tax in just ten years.
    A Times survey of 200 authorities has shown that the average bill will rise by 4.3 per cent in April, equal to a £50 increase on a Band D property.



    Since 1996-07, the year before Labour came to power, the average council tax bill will have risen from £525 to £1,053.

    With gas and electricity prices due to increase by up to 22 per cent this year, the average family will be paying more than £2,000 on domestic bills. ",

    And historically low inflation.

    Remind me, what goes in the basket that they use to measure inflation: 'only those things that haven't gone up in price' or is it more intelligent than that?
    Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
