I get the distinct feeling that HMG is moving from central taxation to local taxation for more and more. That keeps the headline Income Tax rate lower than it should (for propaganda purposes). Police funding is going the same way, yet another cut from central coffers for 2017, to be made up by Council Tax increases.
