It was said by dave, that "we are all in this together", and it seems that he was right after all, if Tory controlled Councils are suffering. Almost all of the huge shortfalls in money is coming from social issues, like the care budgets and children's services.

So, vote Tory and see a huge hike in your Council Tax ?

Mikey - "Increase Income tax..."

Will this be, say, a 1% point increase for all tax payers? Because if it is, then grudgingly, I would go along with that.

Or would it be the 5% point increase just for the rich proposed at the last election (as we know, Corbyn considers £80k to be rich), then that would be entirely unfair.

Increasing tax for all by 1% point will raise significantly more money than a penalty for the "rich".

Incidentally, I have yet to hear any explanation from anybody as to how Corbyn thinks £80k qualifies somebody as rich, yet Corbyn stated he wasn't rich on £137k. Anybody care to have a stab at this?

No problem, Corbyn is economical with the truth, he is a Politician after all.

Those who don't pay council tax shouldn't be able to vote in local elections because they are not contributing.

Proof positive that he lives in a world of fantasy.
