Council tax in Scotland includes water rates.
I know. I factored that in.

I pay just over £1600. Looking at the bands for Glasgow and my house would have to be in band F for me to pay (£1752) about same as I do for mine in Surrey band D. Band F I'd be paying £2400 (just so happens to be what you pay top band - band H in Glasgow.

And...do you still stand by your earlier statement?
Ayrshire Coast v Yorkshire coast is cheaper in Scotland.

I can guarantee that a Glasgow band H will be significantly more opulent than a Surrey band F- and the owners will pay the same

Hobbit, the Council Tax in Scotland has not increased since 2008.
Are you getting your information from Grant Shapps?

As per my original post, from colleagues who live in Scotland. One has a two bed flat in Aberdeen(£1600), and the other a 3 bed detatched(£3000). I pay less than £1500, inc. water rates, in a high council tax Labour ward in Cleveland.

Balanced headlines in Scotland's press used to firm up SNP votes.

No surprise. The rabid press is pretty firmly opposed to anything even remotely left wing, so they hate the SNP even more than Labour. I suppose their non-dom owners (Mail, Torygraph) have some additional issues these days now that Ed is going to abolish non-com status, and they will have to pay taxes just like they demand the peasants do.
It is amazing that so many people still think the print press is there to communicate news and balanced opinion. It really isn't. Best to ignore the whole lot.
They are also totally hypocritical. Compare and contrast coverage of the SNP in The Scottish Sun with the version south of the border.

Just to make sure I'm not getting this wrong, you are comparing Cleveland with Aberdeen?!

Shows how far wrong the Tories have gone when the DUP is speaking out. Still, the DUP want to shore up the union (albeit a version on their terms) so they can't really support fragmentation elsewhere.

Good to see them pointing out how unworkable EVEL is within a UK parliament.
Cameron, Shapp and the Ossie guy have still to work out that if you use scare tactics against the Scots you can only do it once.
Very few will fall for it second time around.

Hilarious as the Mail is it is The Sun that gives the most fun.
The editors of the English Sun and the Scottish Sun do not seem to know that we have the interweb up here now.
