Sometimes things are not meant to make sense “it’s just the way it is” people say. Solar flares; a belief in a non empirical heavenly presence; why anyone outside of the top 1% votes Tory; slugs in the bath; female adolescence… the list goes on in to a nebulous infinity. But one thing that appears to be even more incredible than the rationality of even a 14 year old female is why the bloody hell are council tax bands higher in Dorset than in Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster? 

How many new? Why have you kept it to yourself? Why don’t we have a massive Guy Fawkes party at Westminster? Sorry getting carried away…

Just look at this:

Kensington and Chelsea

  • Band A – £711.19
  • Band D – £1,066.79
  • Band H – £2,133.58

Westminster

  • Band A – £451.16
  • Band D – £676.74
  • Band H – £1,353. 48

And then here comes Dorset:

Band A – 

Council tax band A

Band D – 

Council tax band D

Band H – 

Council tax band H


Is protecting the extremely wealthy a force of nature or is it an example of injustice? 

Over to you….
