ssp launch scrap the council tax website.

featuring the ubiquitous (yeah i know, i never got higher english right?) petition, as well a natty calcutor thing which calculates how much you'd save with the socialists alternative tax plan, the ssp launched scrapthecounciltax.com/ today.

some vintage tommy rhetoric:

"The pensioners and ordinary workers of Scotland are hammered by the council tax while the well paid and wealthy pay a pittance,
“A nationwide rebellion is required.
"The Scottish Socialist Party is commited to abolishing the council tax and replacing it with an income based alternative that takes into account your ability to pay.
"Our proposal is for a Scottish Service Tax and you can read about it on this website and use our Scottish Service Tax calculator to find out how much you would save if it were implemented today.
"Join us in Glasgow on 24th April for a Scotland wide demonstration to Scrap The Council Tax.
"I'll see you there."

aye, you well might. i could do with saving a few hundred £'s a year: and if some toff is going too be forking out to cover it, all the better...
