Well, duh. Why just pensioners, though? You risk giving older people with hefty pensions a free lunch while low paid (but not low enough to be on benefit) young folk have to fork out.Willhttp://www.willhowells.org.uk/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732919976442735382.post-50984244798110830122006-07-20T17:23:00.000+01:002006-07-20T17:23:00.000+01:00As I said Will it is good to see he's catching...As I said Will it is good to see he's catching up.

I honestly think the local income tax is a huge burden for ordinary families. It would be difficuklt to collect (unlike the council tax which is 98% collected in some areas like orkney) and the introduction of it would be as mad as the poll tax. This is not an easy one but lets not pretend there is a simple solutionSarah Johnstonenoreply@blogger.com
