Yes and thats why it is time. There are a few uninhabited smallish islands that have been 'put aside for wildlife', humans not allowed. I personally think its time to start a new small community that is prepared to remove themselves from the totalitarian system and fight tooth and nail to stay independant and free but the system will try to claim you violently as they own your ass ........
Now this is something I can give my whole-hearted support to. I think it's a wonderful idea for these morons to fuck off to an uninhabited 'put aside for wildlife' island somewhere. No electricity, no gas, no mains water, no telephones, no sewerage system, no interwebs, no state benefits, no health services, no shops and no police to sort out their petty (or major) squabbles. It'd be like Lord of the Flies only more vastly more entertaining.
ETA: I'd feel very sorry for the wildlife though
I would watch that show, should put it on TV and call it "Sovereign Island"
Can I heartily recommend
South Georgia a British Overseas Territory with no permanent population (right now). The currency is the pound, off you go chaps, hope you like penguin soup.
Or perhaps
Gruinard Island just off the Scottish coast, completely uninhabited and probably completely free of the anthrax problem the island had 50 years ago.
But sadly the only island this lot belong on is
this one.
Meanwhile, back to the Glorious CT Rebellion and more unfair reporting i.e. it ignores the bollocks.
The
Echo News in Essex ran the story
Speaking exclusively to the Echo after his release, Mr Pinnock said: “I did a lot of research into the constitution and how our land is being taken over by corporations.
“In 2001, a group of peers invoked Article 61 of the Magna Carta, demanding the rights of the British people had to be defended.”
Mr Pinnock is a member of national group Lawful Rebellion - Practical Lawful Dissent. He believes that by withholding council tax, members are able to “distress the tyrannical system.”
He added: “We knew that council tax is the hardest way to do this but I wanted to take up the biggest challenge because I’m a fighter.
“I never refused to pay. I simply asked them to explain what it was spent on. They couldn’t tell me what central Government use it for so I said I would pay when they could answer that.
“I’m happy to pay for local services but not fund central government.
“I wouldn’t have paid if it wasn’t for my family but I can’t just think about myself. All I was trying to do was protect our rights and let people know we have to use them or lose them.”
A council spokesman said: “Action was taken under section 47 of the Council tax administration and enforcement regulations 1992, and supported by the decision of the magistrates court, after Mr Pinnock failed to pay his council tax debt.
“In reference to comments about our budgets and spending, we produce a Statement of Accounts annually giving a detailed explanation of the financial position of the Council.
Needless to say the fearless LR warriors cite this article as yet another example of bias reporting but I thought the piece quite balanced. Far more interesting though are the comments, here's a flavour;

Mr Pinnock said: “I did a lot of research into the constitution and how our land is being taken over by corporations."
The most guaranteed way of ensuring more of our land is taken over by corporations is by not paying your tax and making the government need to raise more money by selling off land and assets. I hope this gentleman never has to use the NHS, police, schools, roads, bin collections or pavements - all examples of things tax pays for!

"“I never refused to pay. I simply asked them to explain what it was spent on. They couldn’t tell me what central Government use it for so I said I would pay when they could answer that."
Try reading the breakdown that comes with your Council Tax bill each year that says very clearly what its spent on.
“I’m happy to pay for local services but not fund central government."
Apparently not, considering council tax pays for services in your local area.
One too many blows to the head methinks.
and I'll leave the last comment to this chap who cuts straight to the chase;
