Ending up in prison for non-payment of council tax is a bit drastic....to which you are not under any obligation to lawfully accept. (just don't ignore it)

Which council?
Contact your local newspaper. They're desperate for news, and this sounds pretty interesting tbh.

Seems the top level councillors at local councils get entrenched and used to being their own authority/think they are better than the rest.
I did IT support for my local district council many years ago and there was a very strange disconnect between the rank and file and those at that top, to the point the top floor of the building externally and internally was a totally different color and decoration style and at one point they even emptied out the entire floor immediatly below to make it more obvious there was a distinction.
Accusations of corruption and backhands are rife and been loads of problems with the last few chief executives (basically marginalised/pushed out by leading councillor(s)).
Whole things seems a bit of a joke.
From what I've read about the councillors online, it seems to be the case here too. Part of the problem is that 90% of the councillors are Torys, so are basically immovable. This makes them feel untouchable and they do whatever they want.
Your government - even at local level. Does not give a toss about you.
The only reason people get into politics nowadays is because the expense accounts are big and the influence is good for business.
Find out where this douche of ultimate baggery lives, then organize an OCUK meet/donation of old desktop PCs.
Build a massive wall out of old desktop PCs and GD forumites, thereby blocking access to his property (if he has more than one property, then poop through letterboxes will be required)
When he confronts us, we shall stand strong, with a keyboard in one hand, and a fist under chin in the other! OO RAH
Lol...he's going to be over the moon when a turtle turns up at his door because of how awesome turtles are!!!!!
I really don't believe that. I think some people go into politics for the wrong reasons, but most have good intentions. The big problem with local councils is that they often have the wrong priorities, and when they do have the right ones, they lack empathy with those who their decisions impact.

You're incredibly naive.
The people who get into politics to help others are often left on the backbench by the hoards who get into politics to benefit themselves and their funny handshake buddies.
This is because the latter have far more money, contacts and influence.
Wow!? Do you live near me? I've tried emailing my councillor for my parish before, and he didn't even bother replying. I heard nothing from him. The problem is, you can't even rely on the other party representatives getting in and ousting him because they are having to rely on on mates to sign them on to the ballot. They don't even have enough party members to do that for them!From what I've read about the councillors online, it seems to be the case here too.
