Never mind I worked for over 30 years as a nurse, because I became disabled, suddenly I like many thousands like me find ourselves called burdens, scroungers just for trying to survive. I cant afford to pay council tax, if I do I will have to lose the help I have to pay for in order to keep a roof over my head.<br />Civilisation?

I personally pay my Council Tax but wouldn't be able to if I didn't get these two reductions.<br /><br />I keep wondering where all this is going to end and wake up each morning thinking, what is next!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-38602604023348278852012-05-06T20:18:48.366+01:002012-05-06T20:18:48.366+01:00Important post, had been meaning to put something ...Important post, had been meaning to put something up about this as well. It will be a disaster in practice, with councils chasing people with nothing for tiny amounts of money, just like under the poll tax. Chasing benefit claimants for a tenner a month will be hugely expensive, massively unpopular and drive yet more people into despair. Brutal, incompetent and completely unthought through it's exactly what we've come to expect.johnny voidhttp://johnnyvoid.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-15089882003924552262012-05-06T20:03:32.986+01:002012-05-06T20:03:32.986+01:00oh god why dont they just shoot me for gods sake, ...oh god why dont they just shoot me for gods sake, they are taking everythign away so how do tyhey propose i livce?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
