Every service going in this country is effected, and now councils are going to charge for people taking waste to council tips, so councils are getting money both ways in the fact, you pay at the tip, and sell waste to recycling, and also totters.

Compare what you've put in to what you've taken out in that period and see how you do before complaining about having paid a lot of tax in. Given your constant complaints about not earning enough for your work I'm dubious. The Carer's Allowance your wife receives comes from that same pool of tax you're paying into.
I would hardly say every service is affected, I'm sure Labour will be elected in 4 years with the promise of a personal worker on the public payroll to wipe each person's arse for them anyway so don't worry too much the real world where public services have to be paid for and the government can't wrap everyone up in cotton wool and bubble wrap won't bite for too long.
I appreciate that, in the interim, some of us may not be able to
afford to have both cable and Sky.
No-one ever said we were entitled to have our quality of life only improve, the previous decade's improvements are almost totally an illusion, getting some substance behind that illusion isn't going to be pleasant.
Have you considered emigration?
