#OtD 21 Mar 1991 it was announced that poll tax in the UK was to be abolished after widespread rioting and a mass campaign in which over 17 million people refused to pay that made the tax unworkable https://t.co/ZrVi8TMkrN https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9411/abolition-of-poll-tax-in-uk?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Renaming it to Council Tax didn't fool me.

@workingclasshistory And now we have council tax in its place. Another broken system where £million houses in London suburbs pay less than substantially cheaper flats in rural areas. I've just been told that mine will rise to £200/month for a small mid terrace ex council house with nowhere to park, and the council rented garage complete with running rainwater and mice will be £80/month, thats a huge %age of a zero hour contract on minimum wage.
