Community charge.

I don’t mind paying for the police, or the fire brigade, or even social services. But the rest is an insult.

@peterlee Even if co-opted, you still need be willing to stand.

Just the ones i HAVE to. Council tax. I dont mind. . Rain from south west water. The CEO is on 850.000 per year so obviously the monies needed as they are a struggling company. A french company for electricity and gas. And then taxees on everything from food to wiping our backsides.

It HAS to be my cable tv bill...which is sucked right out me IN my rent...and which goes up every year. It's the ONLY bill that actually makes me angry. Comcast got my apartment management people to sign a deal that this ENTIRE building would always be wired exclusively for Comcast.

When I moved in here, I didn't even OWN a tv set...(I used to stream everything)...so just IMAGINE my resentment back THEN!!!

We are not ALLOWED to opt out. We are not ALLOWED to shop around and find a better provider.
The basic television package was JUST okay when I first moved in here...but over the years Comcast has removed more and more channels...and the price just keeps going up. It's at $32 a month right now. When I moved in here, 9 years ago, it was $19 a month.

@4meAndyou Ummmm that was basic cable. They were the only game in town besides Dish and Direct TV. We went with Direct TV for a couple of years then dropped them too. Now we have Comcast for the Internet and that costs us $114 a month. ☹

@4meAndyou Verizon is offering home Internet for $19 a month. I have considered it, but we don't get the best reception here at the house. Our phones connect to the Wi-Fi in the house.

My provincial government privatized the utilities (gas and electricity).

As a result, our bills are like 70% "administrative fees". They continue to go up because some fat cat in a suit needs to be rich.

Apple Music. It should be free for us iPhone users. But now they keep charging me 12.99 each month I mean it used to be 9.99 then it was 10.99. It goes up and they don’t even tell us.
@TurtlePink I stopped paying for apple music and purchased a subscription to Pandora. Musi is free but it uses YouTube

@Souls 🤔here in the united kingdom the poll tax it is a con that you get fuck all from the services it is suppose to fund
smiler2012 · 61-69
@ArishMell yes i understand the principle of how it works and the history still a f@cking rip off by the tories tio squeeze more money out of us rather than paying rates to cover short falls they could of did not want to cover financially
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@smiler2012 Maybe, but it all comes to the same thing really, and by Labour as well as Conservative, national and local governments.

The problem is we all expect more and more for less and less, and expect perfection with it!
smiler2012 · 61-69
@ArishMell 🤔it is an unfortunate evil inheritate by the tories than cannot be erased
Musicman · 61-69, M
Annually is our home insurance. Monthly is the motorhome.
