That sounds a lot like the Community Charge. Wasn't exactly popular when it was introduced.
I read this and my first thought was "poll tax". Good idea then, good idea nowThe problem with it (well apart form the the people who don't like being made to pay fairly for what they use) is collection. People move around, houses tend not to.

The skanks who aren't registered won't pay, but then again, they won't get a vote. Guaranteed Tory government forever.
I saw a Times article today claiming that a former Klu Klux Klan Grand Wizard was impressed with Corbyn. "[He] praised the election of Jeremy Corbyn to the Labour leadership as a sign that people were recognising “Zionist power” and “Jewish establishment power”.

Not often a Labour leader gets the endorsement of a former KKK Grand Wizard. I wonder if Jeremy is pleased?

What is it with Corbyn's utter obsession with Israel/Palestine anyway?
There are probably more non Jewish people in Britain that can secure more seats come a GE if he sides with them. I suspect it is as mercenary as that.
He doesn't do anything with the intention of winning votes. He just expects everyone to vote for him.

Israel/Palestine is a pet topic for the kind of people who clog your Facebook feed with "Global Elite! Rothschilds! Media Conspiracy!" etc. Corbyn is one of these people, plain and simple.

You had me at "doesn't do anything" in his 35 years as an MP what exactly has he done with his time to the benefit of his constituents or to his Country ?.He doesn't do anything with the intention of winning votes. He just expects everyone to vote for him.
Corbyn has written an article on anti-semitism.

It was going so well...until the second paragraph.

So no one can, or should, try to dismiss or belittle the concerns expressed by so many Jewish people and organisations about what has been happening in the party I am proud to lead.
I do not for one moment accept that a Labour government would represent any kind of threat, let alone an “existential threat”, to Jewish life in Britain, as three Jewish newspapers recently claimed.

I don't think the majority of Jews now care to listen to JC anymore,or those that support him in Momentum and the Labour Party,over the antisemitism issue.
I have listened to a lot of radio broadcasts on the subject and those that support his views still do so vehemently.
If he and they sincerely believe that their position on Israel is right then they should maintain their position as too much water has flown under that bridge.
At least we know once and for all what we are dealing with.
It would be disingenuous of JC to adopt the charter on Israel when he obviously has a problem with it.
It has got to a position where if JC remains as leader and Labour loses an election then it will be blamed on the Jews and you will hear the usual tropes that Jews control the media etc.etc.
There could well be a much more sinister agenda going on.
That is that JC and his supporters know that they will gain many votes of those that buy into antisemitic tropes.

If only all organisations put as much effort into fighting Racism as Labour have in dealing with a niche problem like Anti-Semetism.
I guess Anti-Semetism is suffered by white folk while racism is for darkies.
Sad.

d...." let alone an "existential threat", to JEWISH LIFE IN BRITAIN
Why didn't he carry on with the words...".but the Jews in Israel can go feck themselves"
Is any one seriously telling me that he doesn't know the implication of what he is saying.

I want to live in a World where people are judged as individuals regardless of colour,ethnicity.religion etc.
When and if those individuals do wrong , call them out.
There are good and bad in all the tribes of humanity but we will only continue this spiral of hatred and oppression by devisive speech and lazy, dangerous generalisations that are encouraged by JC and his ilk.
