Meet someone nice in the queue to withdraw your 10p from Northern Rock?
Get made redundant from the job you hated enough to spend all day on b3ta?
How has the credit crunch affected you?

Legal position = JAILThere is no flexibility in the tax system. Basically you pay it or go to jail. Before jail, however, they will take as much of your property as necessary to pay the tax bill (and recover the legal + bailiff costs). If you have no property, off to clink you go.
The Quakers tried withholding a proportion of their taxes because they didn't want to contribute to military spending. FAIL.
Daily Mail readers would like to withhold a proportion of their taxes because they don't want to pay for students, children, blacks, gays or anything else that doesn't conform to their little-England worldview.

As I suspected.I'm not far off being incensed enough to not mind going to jail to make the point though. Perhaps slightly worrying, but I believe in standing up for my principles and hang the consequences.
(note: this approach has caused me problems in the past)
