I can't see any council going for £5/month from 2 years back without wanting 1 year back and current year being up to date or kept up. Miss one £5 and they could come back for the full amount in one go. Second, take the piss and you go to jail, still owe the council tax and have an enormous red flag on your credit and employability history. Even if you get it to work on a rolling basis (which you wouldn't, but let's theorise) where will you be in say 10 year's time? Taking CT at about £1000 a year (and that's cheap), £5 per month means you will be paying it back for 200 months (16+ years). You will also only be paying back at £5/month if your only income are benefits, any other situation and you will be paying more. The more I write and the more I think about it, the more ludicrous it appears.
The guy's an idiot, he's encouraging people to risk bankruptcy, charging orders, bailiffs, imprisonment and in the meantime public services drop,
who does he think pays for care homes, police, fire brigade, housing benefit, roads, street lighting, schools etc. etc. etc. Morons the flaming lot of them !
