I can't see what you are getting so hot under the collar about.
You and I and many other people have paid taxes to our national government which would make local taxes appear as only a pinprick in the affairs of businesses in the UK.
Local politcians I agree do make a difference but only at a local level and to my knowledge have no input or influence in government whatsoever.
The ordinary individuals pay local taxes for local services. I must agree that the calendar thing was probably out of order but the conservative majority are in control by the action of your peers.
I am sorry to harp on about comparisons but the home secretary and her claim for expenses on one of her homes could send a calendar to every home in Hyndburn every week for a year.
