YET another elderly woman fed up with those who do not do their job, refuses to pay her Council Tax.

It seems to me a terrible indictment against councils and police that normal, law abiding citizens have to risk going to prison before anyone does their job properly.

Even then, there is no guarantee things will improve.

I do not think putting oneself in the wrong is the right way to go about things.

One has to accept that standards have dropped considerably in every aspect of life, since pensioners were young.

Remember, the general public elects local councils. If they do not come up to expectations who is to blame, the councillors or the electorate who voted for them?

If the old ladies making a brave protest think people on the council feel sorry for them and are determined to improve things, they are sadly mistaken.

All the council wants is their money.
