In comparing it to the Poll Tax I think that Labourleft might be overstating its case somewhat and it’s pretty pathetic that it is only asking for a deferral rather than its scrapping but it’s better than nothing and some might be interested.

Seems a bit inept to use the term “poll tax” for this when, for most parts of England, Poll Tax 2 *is* starting in April.

I wonder how the media will spin this one when people take to the streets in the summer. Last time some kids got 4 years jail for nicking a bottle of water during riots. The coalition arent daft. They saw this coming.
