I'M sick and tired of the way this country is going.
Now our council tax is going up by a so called 4.8 per cent to help pay for carers for the elderly.
I don't mind but what about the thousands that don't pay any council tax, are we paying their share as well?
I'm a pensioner and I have to pay full council tax and income tax and I've put my share in the pot.
All you hear is take this and take that away from pensioners. There's a lot, like me, who have worked hard all their lives for what we receive.
I would like to say to this government, or any other government, get your heads out of the sand and own up as to why the NHS is in such a bad way.
It's all the free loaders taking out of the NHS and putting nothing towards it.
