So now we have it, the government thinks it can jack up council tax even higher. Forget it.
People have reached the limit of what they will pay for increasingly erratic services. Council tax has gone up 70 per cent since Labour came to power seven years ago. That's the equivalent of 2p in the pound on income tax.
Adding even more to that burden will infuriate the nation. Maybe we should all claim asylum.
