If you are Scottish, but not for the English, surprisingly this story doesn't get a mention on the Labour controlled media (err, BBC..) but yes people, Scots won't be paying any more Council Tax this year.
Great if you're Scottish, shit if you're an English taxpayer exhausted from rescuing Gordon's Scottish banks with a tax burden that will last for generations.
Of course I'm making this up? Well not according to:

and

not to mention:

So sleep easy, you are doing your bit through the Barnett Formula to keep Scotland happy.
makes you feel good doesn't it?
Waddya mean NO!
