Hitler found alive & well
And working for Derby City Council:
British local authorities wrote off £130 million in unpaid council tax last year. Derby City Council alone wrote off more than a million pounds, but still managed to find time to get a 71-year-old woman jailed for failing to pay her tax in protest at the drug-taking and prostitution outside her house.
A council spokesman said "It's difficult to track down non-payers who don't speak English, or who move around a lot, but a 71-year-old woman is a sitting target". Actually, he didn't say that at all - but he might as well have.
