remarked:
Who sets your Council Tax is rather more real, in my opinion.

That's the Treasury, by various levers they can pull which in effect
pretty much determine what the local tax will be. That's a long term
disappointment, and not exactly how the system was supposed to work.

Local Income Tax, if it ever gets implemented, will inevitably suffer
the same problem.
