I saw this as well. 78.9% increase for the police's cut to be exact and we don't even get a community bobby . Lincolnshire Police funding for the next tax year has gone up £23.2 million. Call me a sceptic but I bet nothing changes for the extra funding, apart from another bonus for the Lincs police chiefs

Its reassuring to know that the Lincs Police have budgeted £5,100,000 yes your eyes are right 5.1 million on information communications technology and £16,400,000 (£16.4 million) on sustainable services investment whatever the hell they are .

In Suffolk, up from £134 a month to £141, so that's just under 5%!

Poll tax when it was in was about £140 per person, at that time I lived with my parents, so we paid £420 for the household.

The council tax on that house is now about £2,300 I think!

It makes me laugh when Labourites go on about the injustice of the Poll Tax!

Ours has gone just over 2 grand a year, up by about 4.1 percent, I can live with that but what I cant get my head round is the car tax, I mean we pay

70% Fuel Duty
17.5 % VAT on pretty much everything
Insurance Premium Tax
Income Tax
National Insurance (which makes a mockery of the 20% income tax)
Beer and **** are massively loaded if you partake
Inheritance tax if you dare to die with any assets
Capital Gains tax if you have a windfall

When will they realise, there isnt any more to take, I don't mind paying some tax but would like something left for non essentials.

How long before we get charged for our CO2 emissions for breathing, thats why they are trying to usher in these health MOT's so they can test your emmissions.

Mine's gone up a couple of quid to £77 a month, and I'm in band B with no discounts.
It's still half what we were paying back in Aylesbury for a band A ****hole.

ours is still the lowest in the country, but it doesn't stop people complaining that it's gone up!

The Poll tax was undoubtably fairer, but still not ideal.. And of course it was the Conservatives that abolished the Poll tax and brought in council tax.


It should be on Income tax, fairest way.
