Council Tax Increase by Government 72%

Between 1992 and 2005/6 the Council Tax has been driven up by the government by a total of 71.8996%.

It has been government policy (both Labour and Conservative) to have an increase in the amount of revenue raised locally. This policy, like many others, has simply been maintained.

I raised this in the chamber today, but it was denied.

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
