Enough moaning about governments from me, I’ll be getting myself a bit of a rep! (too late)…

Whilst I remain annoyed, such emotion can do little to change my future, and if anything will just hinder it anyway, so I am happy to report that I remain in the ‘now’. It’s far less stressful, and the universe will see me right. It hasn’t steered me far wrong so far? For all the geekiness and technical aspect of my whole, I remain and always will be a rather metaphysical being indeed.

One of the most valuable lessons I have learned in recent years, is that it is too easy to let your emotions alone dictate your actions. Emotion is crucial to life, and quality of life in particular. Understanding their true merit is what makes them more precious than gold dust!

For all the woes in my life right now, I will sleep well tonight, and send out all my positive karma to the world! My prayer is that tomorrow brings a better day for mankind, not just me.

One last thing, someone please give me a good whack on the ear if I post anything else that is remotley close to a moan about money, housing or governments….it’s all a bit tired and pointless now. I’m going to make a concerted effort to look only for the good in the world and that can only start with a good night’s sleep.

So, I have just learned that the local council in Crewe are taking me to court for none payment of Council Tax, since my 6 month ‘grattis’ has apparently expired? Now. “If” I was still in the country I would concede my responsibility and cough up. BUT I have lived in New Zealand for over half a year now, and here’s my big problem with all of this….I have an empty house yes, but I have it currently on the market with every intention to sell as I am pretty settled here in New Zealand now. I am not currently in the UK, nor do I have any intention of returning for any period of time - so I cannot in any way physically benefit from anything the council tax pays for, so why the W#$%@ should I be held liable?

I have of course voiced this concern to my (ex)local council, and await their response but failing this, I will perhaps explore contacting the government more directly, alas I fear this approach will fall on completely deaf ears…but you’ve got to admit - this is pretty ‘irregular’

I can see the council’s argument “if” I was keeping the house, and intending to return, but I am not! So, the fact they are throwing court summonses my way, gets my hackles up. I’ve got enough on my plate with family, without local government in the UK adding to things!

They’ll do anything to scrape any last pennies from us serfs and peasants - it would appear to me that feudal disparity is alive and well, and currently living in the UK!
