Certainly not with the people that are actually paying it, unlike you, and who therefore have a better understanding of how hard they have to work to earn the money to pay their Council Tax, weighed against the services they receive back.  |
I think you misunderstand. I live in a house that is taxed by the council. There is no propaganda, simply putting it as it is. My post didn't claim they were the wonderful and best-est council in the world, it simply gave information I had researched. I am quite happy to be critical of HBC, and if your article about spying powers had claimed HBC had used them for crimes such as dog fouling (which might well be true, we don't know), I would be up in arms.
It was then jumped on by mostly Labour Councillors to have a go at how terrible the council they are apart of is. The same councillors who cannot accept that 45% increase in council tax is considerably better than 100% national average and 185% high. I am glad claims of it being the most expensive council tax in the country have stopped being called though. It's quite evident from my first post that this is not the case.
