I registered for and paid my Household Charge because it is the law & I'm a good citizen etc.
However, I am now feeling a bit of an eejit for paying it as I know loads of people who have not paid it and they haven't heard a dicky bird about it. Are there loads of civil servants busy making up lists of non-payers? Is it true that a charge is put on the property if you go to sell it (if so this is not widely known)?
While I don't want my fellow citizens hunted down or anything, I would like them to know they haven't gotton away with paying it. If the non-payers aren't followed up, the Govt will have big problems getting the compliant ones to pay up next year. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
