LETTERS FROM BEXLEY COUNCIL HAVE NOW ARRIVED THROUGH THE LETTERBOXES OF A NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WHO DEDUCTED THEIR OLYMPIC TAX FROM THEIR JANUARY 2007 COUNCIL TAX PAYMENT.   THE LETTERS THREATEN LEGAL ACTION IF THEY DO NOT PAY THEIR ARREARS OF "COUNCIL TAX"    NO MENTION OF "OLYMPIC TAX"    

IT HAD BEEN AGREED BY MANY OTHER RESIDENTS THAT ON THE DAY OF THE COURT APPEARENCE OF THOSE THAT RECEIVE A SUMMONS THEY WILL ATTEND/DEMONSTRATE OUTSIDE THE COURT IN ORDER TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE NON PAYERS.      IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THE SUM OF £95 COSTS WILL BE ADDED TO ANY OUTSTANDING OLYMPIC TAX WHICH, QUITE CLEARLY, WILL BE AN ADDED BURDEN WHICH SOME WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PAY.    AN EVEN A BIGGER BURDEN WILL BE THE THREAT OF "SENDING IN THE BAILIFFS" AND THEREFORE EACH INDIVIDUAL WILL HAVE TO DECIDE JUST HOW FAR THEY CAN AFFORD TO GO, WHICH IS ONLY FAIR.

NO-ONE KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN COURT BECAUSE THIS IS NEW GROUND FOR MOST OF THE OBJECTORS, AND, QUITE UNDERSTANDABLY, MANY WILL NOT RELISH THE THOUGHT OF APPEARING IN COURT, MOST FOR THE FIRST TIME,  BUT THEY FEEL THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT A HANDFUL OF POLITICIANS, DEVELOPERS, PLANNERS ETC,  HAVE DECIDED THAT THE POCKETS OF LONDONERS CAN BE LEGALLY PICKED IN ORDER TO PAY FOR THEIR AMBITIOUS, PROFITABLE PLANS. (PROFITABLE FOR THEM - AT LONDONERS EXPENSE)>

UNFORTUNATELY A PRISON SENTENCE, WHICH A FEW MEMBERS WERE PREPARED TO ACCEPT, IS NO LONGER AN OPTION AS LOCAL COUNCILS HAVE OPTED TO SEND IN THE BAILLIFS TO COLLECT THE "ARREARS OF COUNCIL TAX", RATHER THAN FACE THE PUBLICITY SURROUNDING THIS UNFAIR AND UNJUST OLYMPIC TAX ON LONDONERS ONLY.- AND WITH THE COSTS OF COURT AND BAILIFF LETTERS INCREASING FROM £30/£35 TO £100 A TIME AS FROM APRIL 1st 2009, WITH THE FULL APPROVAL OF THE GOVERNMENT, IT HAS BEEN DECIDED BY THE BEXLEY BOROUGH PENSIONERS FORUM TO WIND-UP THE NON-PAYMENT OF THE LONDONERS ONLY OLYMPIC TAX WITH EFFECT FROM APRIL 2009.

MOST LONDON LABOUR MP's SUPPORTED THIS EXTRA TAX ON LONDONERS - AND THEY EVEN VOTED AGAINST LIMITING THE LOSSES THAT LONDONERS WILL HAVE TO PAY -  THIS IS TRUE - DON'T LET THEM KID YOU OTHERWISE.       

MANY OF THESE MP's  HAVE MAJORITIES THAT CAN EASILY BE OVERTURNED COME THE NEXT ELECTION - THEY DIDN'T SUPPORT US SO LET'S KICK THEM OUT AT THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION - AS WE KICKED OUT KEN LIVINGSTONE - THE MAN WHO  ACCEPTED THIS 10/12 YEAR EXTRA TAX FOR LONDONERS ONLY.

DON'T LET THEM LAUGH AT US AS THEY TAKE THEIR VIP SEATS AT THE LONDON OLYMPIC GAMES IN 2012.          MAKE THEM JUST "SPECTATORS" BY VOTING THEM OUT OF PARLIAMENT WHEN THE GENERAL ELECTION COMES AROUND.
