So, will you be buying a party pack then, Alan ?
I thought the Poll Tax was an unfair system too, however, never considered the Rates to be fair either. I was a divorced single parent with a young child, living in close proximity in identical property, to larger families with grown up children, but paying the same amount. Hardly fair .... suppose I should have rioted or refused payment too.
