Yet a tax based on what your house would have been worth in 1991
(even if it wasn't built then) sounds like something out of the
Monster Raving Loony Party's manifesto. It seems lost on the
average Mail reader that *on average* a revaluation will not
affect anyone's council tax, subject to the revaluation not
being used as an excuse to increase spending.

But as any Daly Mail reader knows, where councils are concerned, it
would be.
