[quote=LEONARDO,318936]A retired couple Tom and Rita Glenister swear that they would rather go to jail than pay the 2012 Olympics surcharge on their council tax bill. London has a tight budget on the 2012 Olympics. To cover the cost of the London Games, London’s council imposed £33.33 on London homes. Tom and Rita, at the age of 78 and 76 respectively, think it is unfair that London Council taxpayers are the only people who directly pay for the Games while the British PM touted that the whole country will benefit form the Games. Why not other cities’ council taxpayers? If they were convicted, they would face up to three months in jai. Who should pay for the 2012 London Olympic Games? £33 is only a small sum of money but the retired couple says it is a matter of principle. Tom and Rita says it is a matter of principle. They will go to jail rather than pay £33.33 games tax.[/quote]
