You just have to watch the TV programme " Bailiffs " to see how unjust the council tax is, they enter peoples houses who clearly cant afford their demands and start making a list of their belongings with the view to selling them in order to get what they believe they are owed, if that person does not have any goods of value then they may go to prison!!! What kind of world are we living in? does this not remind you of the medievel movie where the evil King imposes outrages taxes not caring about the needs of the people.. but Robin Hood comes along and saves the day, well we aint got any Robin Hoods.
