Recently, two pensioners have been jailed for refusing to pay all their council tax as a protest.
Magistrates, when sentencing a 73-year-old lady to seven days in jail, told her she was a silly women and if everyone followed her example, we would have anarchy in the country.
Magistrates and politicians fail to accept that the only way the public gets them to listen is to do something radical and get the media involved.
You only have to look at our county councillors. They ask for our views on various issues, then totally ignore them and do what they had planned in the first place.
