I've just given an actual example of how the poll tax worked in
practice in exactly the reverse way as it was 'sold'.

One of the problem with the rates was that ratable values of old
houses
and new houses were somehow out of line.

It was normal to find Victorian mansions with RV of 20 pounds
whilst
in
the next street a modern 2 bed terrace (of similar monetary value)
had
a RV of 200 pounds.

That needed fixing even if the system of collection wasn't changed.

Predictably, a greater percentage of old folks lived in the
Victorian
houses

Nice try, but my mother didn't. Their house was bought new.

So, you're another 'socialist' who came from a wealthy background.

You dont need to be wealthy to buy a house new.

Depends where you're buying it.


Nope.


Have you looked at house prices recently?


Yep. The claim is bull****.
