My council have been pretty fair in their increases over the last few years. I don't know anyone that likes paying council tax, but I'm happy to pay the money knowing that the fire service will be there if I need them, that local services are maintained.

When Maggie T first introduced the poll tax, all hell broke loose, and that issue was the one that actually forced her out of power. The first thing that John Major did was introduce the much fairer tax that we still have today.

Want to grumble, but really, I can't.
