you do realise that only a little over 20 years ago what you paid the council was called rates do you not? it was then called Poll Tax which fell flat on its arse and is now called Council Tax. Does the fact that you end up in magistrates court not demonstrate that its not really a tax at all? but still the same Rates as you mentioned that dates back 800 years
