I will be returning said letter to sender with a big 'F*CK OFF!' wrote in red marker on it.

Like Wallace, I'll plead that I cant pay, and humbly accept a Dail 'Motion of Censure'. Then, like Mick, I might take myself off abroad for a few days.

There is a lot of bravado talk from the tax cheats who refuse to pay. It is my opinion that once the letters start dropping in through the letter boxes, there will be a surge of people who will cough up. At the end of the day, we live in a democracy and these representatives that we elected make the rules that we have to abide by, like it or not.

Haven't received anything through the door as of yet but all I can say is that once Mrs. Larkin gets the letter she will pay despite all my protestations. Me? I would never pay it.I can't wait for the next election though.

You won't be the only one Id say! Phil Hogan has a holiday home out in Portugal and he refused to pay tax on it and yet he has the cheek to brand whoever didn't pay the household charge

Seeing as my identity is well know around these parts I am slow to say outright. However, even a cursory glance of my posts will give you a hint.
