I DON'T believe it, another council tax rise of seven per cent extra, £55 a year more. When will Wiltshire County Council use their common sense and return to reality?

We, the people of Wiltshire, can't afford this heavy tax rise any more. It's getting beyond a joke. We, the people, say: Wiltshire County Council, where do we find the extra? Come on, tell us.

If we can't pay we end up with a criminal record or worse, jail, through no fault of our own.

I say, between Tony Blair and his Labour government, you are the biggest crooks out and it is you who deserve criminal records for the billions of tax payers' money you waste each year. No wonder our country is in such a mess. Greed gets you nowhere. Shame on you all.
