Sometimes, it’s better to run a size compressed screenshot or three, rather than rabbit on secondhand … it puts the issue more succinctly, is more human … it could be us. Deryl Lynn is a grandmother, former model, pundit on X, otherwise occupied walking the dogs or grandchildren.
There’s not a lot I need to add … we’re up against some major theft here … some time back, this was the quote I used … just as relevant now:
It is difficult for the average Joe or Jane to get things changed by starting at the top so start at the local level. Parish Councils' powers are discretionary and are mostly concerned with footpaths, sign posts and things of that nature and is supposed to represent the well being of the locals. If you don't like what your current Parish Councillors are doing consider standing as a PC or vote them out at the first opportunity. Start attending PC meetings and voice your concerns. Change is more likely to come from the bottom up when local communities pull together and express themselves through the democratic process. Apathy gets us nowhere. It is no use complaining about the way things are without being willing to put some effort in to change them. If you are of the mindset that nothing will happen then that is what you will get - nothing. And that boys and girls, is why we are where we are.
ReplyDeleteCalm down.
ReplyDeleteIts a fishing exercise to get peoples details. They run them when council tax theft drops to a certain level due to people not playing the game properly, ie; not coughing up.
Figured it out a few years back, had it confirmed "off camera" by a council official who knew the score, about a year ago.
Did no one pick up during the election campaign that one of Labour's ideas was a "re-banding" of council tax? Along with scrapping the single occupancy discount to make it harder to stay in your old home and a way of forcing you to relinquish that space that could be re-used. Oh, and the proposed tax on unearned income will give the government a new boost so you can't hold onto the money released by the sale of the house. They want it all.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, five centuries hence, historians will write about this callous and calculated strategy of catching taxpayers both ways in much the same terms as ‘Morton’s Fork’; ‘Reeves’ Ramrod’, perhaps?
