That is not what I said . I just pointed out it was a bit rich labour supporters creating a big fuss. Business always approach the government in power to lobby for legislation that suits them . It is part of politics. Unions lobby the labour party. Anyone who does not think it goes on must have led a very sheltered life. Even the public can lobby the government by signing petitions, that once they have enough signatures have to be debated in parliament. The other method of trying to influence the government is protest marches which often depend into a violent riot. Extinction rebellion black lives matter to name just a couple of recent ones. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Yes there's an inquiry but what will they find? It won't change a thing, like I said, nobody really wants it because this particular swamp runs deep and murky. It's well past time that political parties were centrally funded, no unions or rich individuals buying governments. They should all get exactly the same tv/media time, the same amount for advertising, as long as they put up a minimum number of candidates. Smaller partirs and individuals should need to make a properly audited claim against central funds. I know we end up paying from our taxes but tis' better than the money men and union bigwigs gaining sway. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

We plebs would still be paying the same amount of poll tax as the rich if there hadnt been the riot over it.

Tory cronyism on 00:09 - Apr 15 with 2063 views | majorraglan | There’s good and bad on all sides of the political divide and Labour, like the Conservatives have questions to answer, but the mud slinging on here isn’t helpful and there are issues to be addressed and questions to be answered. What’s required is a full no nonsense transparent public enquiry in to what's taken place and then some stringent legislation to govern what takes place in future. Is that likely to happen - no way on earth because there are snouts in the trough. We will have an enquiry, but we’ll only get to know what they want us to know. There’s a lot of cynicism around the Grenfell enquiry! It’s just like the PPE and Covid procurement scandals, there was a fast track e mail system in place for associates of the politicians, contacts and select others where their offers of help could have an inside track. We need transparency, honesty and accountability, but we won’t get it. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Well actually you would have been paying a quarter of the poll tax . Only 1 in 4 adults actually pays rates , community charge. The idea of the poll tax was that all adults would pay the poll tax at a much reduced rate. Needless to say the 3/4 of the population who would have to start paying it objected. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

And this is a member of the 3 emergency services talking about violent struggle. Hope you don't get a shout to any Rich person,Eddie. If you, do, don't treat them with the contempt you show on here for anyone not a full on class warrior like yourself. You and Kenny enjoy slagging off a working class "poor" city ,one with many "deprived" people. So it seems rather hypocritical to slag off fellow working class/poor,who despise the rich/privileged as much as you do. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

You do know the poll tax was actually fairer than the current council tax system. There are 2 afults in our house, there are 5 adults living next door, they make considerably more rubbish than us but pay the same. They use twice as much (at least) as us but pay exactly the same. In NPT the council tax for a band D house is more than the same band in Mumbles. Why is it fair? We should pay for the services we use, not by the value of our house. I feel the same about the VED charge, scrap it and put up the tax on fuel, those that use the most will pay by usage, not by the value of their car then put a purchase tax on cars graded by emissions so the most polluting cars cost even more to buy. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |
