we just keep getting screwed
dailymail: Council tax bills face 10% hike after next election due to £1bn loss in Icelandic banks
Council tax payers face a rise of 10 per cent in their bills – but not until after the next election.
The rise, which will mean more than £120 on the average bill, looks certain because of town hall losses of nearly £1billion in failed Icelandic banks.
Gordon Brown moved yesterday to delay the inevitable price to tax payers of the fiasco by allowing councils to keep their Icelandic losses – totalling £944million – off the books this year.
