Socialists urge tax 'rebellion'

BBC News Online
The Scottish Socialist Party has predicted "the beginning of the end" for the council tax.
Hundreds of people attended a march and rally in Glasgow to protest against the tax in Scotland.
Party leader Tommy Sheridan said people were angry having to pay a tax which "hammers pensioners and ordinary workers".
The party has proposed that the council tax be replaced by an alternative service tax based solely upon income.
