Brent Council Tax and the Bailiffs

Barry Gardiner has a sad story of Brent Council's aggressive pursuit of Council Tax bills here. I have blogged before that Brent is one of the most aggressive authorities in the UK when it comes to bankruptcy proceedings, despite the Liberal Democrats' public position opposing the use of bankruptcy proceedings wherever possible. At the Budget meeting on Monday Bob Blackman got up to boast about the very aggressive stance that the Liberal Democrats claim to oppose.
