to lower the cost of Londoners Poll Tax ( don't give me that
pedantry **** again)
Is it pedantry to point out that the Poll Tax was abolished in 1993,
or
is it accuracy?
pedantTechnically neither, given that 'poll tax' was only ever an
unofficial term of reference./pedant
Haha !
It was however given official sanction when the Department of the
Environment sent a leaflet to every household entitled "The Community
Charge (the so-called 'Poll Tax')". A Poll Tax is a tax levied at the
same rate on every individual and the Community Charge essentially
fits within that definition.
It was therefore a Poll Tax.
that seems to me to be a parrotdox.
