Look, I'm not a Tory but all that fuss over the poll tax was mainly by people who would normally be able to dodge it, by, say, living in rented accomm., where the landlords had to pay it. One provision was supposed to be that the landlords would reduce the rent by the amount that they'd take as the tenants' Rates contribution (Rates was the precursor - cf local govt tax). Now I was paying c £350 a year in poll tax - now I have to pay £1,250 (at least) in Council Tax. Yet there's not a murmur about the annual hikes in this that every council makes.
