Fair Play #3

BBC NEWS | England | Devon | Pensioner prepared to go to jail

Pensions & Council Tax


  • The state pension is increased occasionally as a sop to silver voters
  • Council Tax rises irrespective of a pensioner's ability to pay
  • A pensioner has little or no ability to supplement their income
  • If they fail to pay the Council Tax they are prosecuted, if they do pay it they are worse off year on year.

Is it fair?
