In a sinister echo of the ancient Window Tax, the price of a pleasant outlook will be added to bills when the revaluation of houses and flats goes ahead.
The Valuation Office has already been instructed to take into account improvements such as conservatories and extensions, extra bedrooms, additional parking space and the construction of patios or terraces.
Gorse Fox is speechless.
No he's not
- This is the politics of envy
- As you develop and invest money oin your home you pay TAX... now the uspeakable cretin expects you to pay tax on the result
Not once
but evey year - This is Council Tax - it is about what you consume and the services you want. It has nothing to do with your view or whether you have a conservatory.
Words splutter in indignation from the Gorse Fox:
The politics of envy is not strain'd
It droppeth as corrosive bile from the ODPM
Upon the householder beneath: it is twice taxed;
It taxeth him that gives and and gives to him that takes:
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes
The throned dick-head better than his crown;
His vengeance shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and stupidity,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of success;
But the ODPM is above this sceptred sway;
It is enthroned in the depths of hatred,
It is an attribute to Stalin himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest Saddam's
When the ODPM seasons justice. Therefore, householder,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That, in the course of justice, none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much
To mitigate the justice of thy plea;
Which if thou follow, this strict court of Vengeance
Must needs give sentence 'gainst the householder there.
