          @mickyluv7 @BBCBreaking because it makes sense to tax the life out of the rich so they leave and pay 0% tax into our economy

          @BBCBreaking Why should homeowners be repeatedly charged? It is as if you are trying to punish them for being successful.

          @banthaskull @BBCBreaking Are you sure? I think it's called Council Tax there: like County property tax here.
