"In fact this guys still paying Poll Tax." - WLD

What are you paying in Council Tax WLD?

Odd thing is if Poll Tax was introduced now to replace Council tax it would accepted as a far fairer tax in a second.

"Teribus, nice to note you prefer the ex-soviet countries to be run by the local equivalent of the mafia. Try living there yourself sometime. I suggest Siberia." . Richard Bridge

Funny thing about the leftists in Europe and in the UK. For some reason they are totally blind to the evils of the type of communist regimes spawned by Russia and China. Must have something to do with having the word "socialist" included in the title, but then again the Nazi Party was a "National Socialist" Organisation. Tell us Richard how many people were killed by the Communist Regimes of Russia, China, North Korea, Cambodia and Cuba - give you a hint Richard it runs into tens of millions. And guess what Richard - not a squeak of protest, or murmur of objection from such as yourself and your fellow travellers. You do however have the absolute afrontery to come up with, "Teribus, nice to note you prefer the ex-soviet countries to be run by the local equivalent of the mafia." - old militant trade union leftist tactic - don't put words in my mouth then try to take me to task them. Interesting that you suggest that I might like to try living in Siberia - so I take it Richard that you do have some sort of clue where it is, what as an area it was used for, and how many died there.

And by local equivalent of the mafia I take it you mean the ex-Communist Party Bosses and KGB Officers. Another little question for you Richard - What percentage of the population of Russia or China were Members of the Communist Party? - I think that you will find that it was a fairly exclusive club, which could only be joined by invitation only.
