The naivety of the British public seems to know no bounds. Two thirds, it seems, would be prepared to pay to throw their rubbish away rather than continue to pay ridiculously high council tax.
The government will just love this one. I can see the measure in place in no time at all – and for a while the council tax will be reduced – a little. And as the cost for throwing rubbish away increases, so will the council tax bill once more.
Maybe it is political apathy, maybe it is that we were permanently conned by the smarmy Blair, but I think it is time the British public had a reality check. Governments stopped doing things for the people a long time ago.
Governments are now in power to stay in power. And they will always do everything in their power to con you into a false sense of security, and then rip you off some more.
