Council Cunts
Stallion Explosion writes "I was in a record shop in Melbourne, flicking through the vinyl, when I found a record entitled 'Hackney Council Are A Bunch Of Cunts'"
We agree.
Have you been trapped in the relentless petty minded bureaucracy of your local council?
Why does it require 3 forms of ID to get a parking permit when the car in question is busy receiving a parking ticket right outside the parking office?
Or do you work for Hackney Council?

Humpty,
Sorry, 40% still sounds obscenely high even without council tax. My council tax works out at roughly 4% of my annual income. Allowing for the various different rates of tax, and the personal allowance of course, I make it that my overall tax burden is around 29%. Sweden, I think, is not for me.
EDIT: Little piece of trivia for you - in 1832 there were riots on the streets of London when income tax reached the unprecedented level of a whopping 3%!! Of course back in those days taxes were only spent on sensible things like the army, instead of having to fund smokers healthcare and chavs housing benefit aswell. If only we could go back to those days, then we'd have more money to spend on cool things like aircraft carriers.
