Polanski fesses up to failing to pay council tax on houseboat - claiming it was an 'unintentional mistake'
The
Green Party leader apologised for the 'unintentional mistake' and said
he had 'immediately taken steps to pay any council tax' he might owe.
So
Polanski did indeed fail to pay council tax on his main residence.
Clearly he wasn't bothered about failing to contribute to the cost of
local services.
It's another example of 'Rayner's Rule:' that
those who are most keen on forcing the rest of us to pay lots more tax
don't think they should pay much tax themselves.
And when they're found out, it's always 'a mistake.'
It's worth reading the headlines from different media outlets to see the spin.
