Jeepers! Guess cricket-loving yardies are not to be trifled with, eh?
Yardies? I doubt it. I'd start looking at the Asian betting syndicates tbh.

That is well harsh, poor bloke.
I think Vimothy meant it's harsh that he was murdered!
(is this the case?)
I am really angry that poorer people will now pay more tax proportional to their income and richer people will pay less.
In what way is that good?
It's tempting to add something about Labour values etc but we all know they got chucked out years ago.....
I will be paying a lot more tax than last year.
the street cleaners do a good job and i expect the firemen do too but they can't be THAT expensive.
the only time I have seen a policeman in my area was when there were 300 outside storming the houses of randomly selected brown people in the name of the war on propaganda or whatever it was.
so what is council tax for?
Yes redistribution of wealth through taxation is good, however, increasing the tax burden on the poor and decreasing it on the rich is moving in the wrong direction in my opinion and encourages those in low paid jobs to try and go on benefits instead where they might be better off.Taxes are good right
Quite. Although I am more upset about Labour's move to the right than the Conservatives' appearance of moving left.Not that the tories are any different. We're all euro-style social democrats now, at least according to the Guardian.
Yes it would be if they deducted something like the average rubbish collection charge from your council tax.Won't paying for the amount of rubbish you have collected be fairer and also discourage people from throwing away so much stuff?
In fairness, most commentators accept that the low paid will benefit from higher allowances and credits (esp the Working Family Tax Credit). But they're not universally applicable, nor is there universal take-up.

If part of our council tax is supposedly for rubbish collection and the new charges will be for rubbish collection that means we will all be paying twice.
I can see fly-tipping becoming a big problem.....
