Sir, – The Government is short of money. It wants us to pay the household charge on time. Therefore it should make it easy for us to pay this.
So why do I find that the facility to pay by direct debit is being withdrawn from March 1st (yesterday).
Only a Sir Humphrey would think it is a good idea to make life difficult for the common man! I think we are all beginning to suspect that the reason not very much has changed since the change of government, is that civil servants continue to run the country. – Yours, etc,
