Thatcher and the poll tax
Under the release of classified papers today there's one that shows how Margaret Thatcher had to be sent a letter threatening legal action as her and Dennis had not registered.
Listen to Talksport and let it be a lesson to you

Her out of government was enough.
It's ironic that this was the issue that was the cause of so much unpopularity and which started the plotting in the party to get shut. I doubt that many Tories were bothered either way about th epoll tax, but what they don't like is a leader who they realise is now a loser.
I suspect in the cases of Hague and IDS that took them a matter of days to realise.

I have greatest respect for Rugby Union, they started it mid-way through the 19th century. Thankfully we grabbed it and turned it into a spectacle on 29th August 1895

Re: Thatcher and the poll tax
The people who moaned about the poll tax were the cunts who were paying fuck all. Our 'rates' at the time were £535,the poll tax was £135 per working adult per household.
So with my dad and mum grafting,and me as a grafting 20 year old we were fucking quids in in our four bedroomed detatched house in the posh part of Wigan.
Poll tax was a fucking cracking idea ruined by the lazy wasters of this country.

Re: Thatcher and the poll tax
Do away with local council tax and fund the councils from central government. Paying a tax to fund local services based on how big your house is graded 25 years ago is a nonesense.

Re: Thatcher and the poll tax
Get rid of the fucking lot......... no taxes at all, just a flat rate sales tax maybe a "Local" levy on top of that. No income tax no fancy lawyers and accountants no dodging it, buy something, anything you pay tax. slash the civil service by two thirds at least and thats why it will never happen.
