Council Tax Rant

[fry61]

i loved the poll tax i payed less and it was 89 to 90 it happened bob not everything that was good happened in the 70.s

Very true Chris, the 70's were after the end of the best decade. The older you get, the deeper the rosy hue

i would have to agree with brumster we definitely are not getting value for money from are councils at the moment

find out how much the top managers in your local council earns it will make your eyes water

[Bob Tucker]

The council chairman in Bromley ( an arrogant pompous oaf I have had had the misfortune to meet twice)

is on £170,000 PA

thats obscene Bob

& where we had police stations in Orpington & Bromley they have been demolished & are now blocks of flats.

The land was sold to private developers, & surprisingly, immediate planning permission granted.

Our libraries have been given to a charity to run....badly.

& on & on...

Go and give them a jab with your prize -- not the long one though.
