I dont earn much money, and I have to pay for prescriptions, council tax, mortgage or rent, income tax, savings tax, road tax, fuel tax. I have to pay for household bills, so can I refuse to pay because my wages dont increas in line with council tax increases?
You're 29 and presuming you're of decent health, you can go get a second job to help with the increases you face. I very much doubt a pensioner of 73 has quite so much choice. I still can't believe that people who cause GBH, or any kind of assault can get off with a crappy CS order, but they send a 73 year old lady to jail. Lunacy.
