The SNP's apparent volte-face on its discredited local income tax plans (your report, 27 October) is bound to fail. The first suggestions were absurd, and the supposed U-turn will not change the fact that the plans will still hammer the hardest-working – the families where a husband and wife both work to support their children; a group of student nurses occupying a single flat … the examples are endless.
In the end, it is still an ill-thought-out proposal, seen by the SNP as vote-winning, with not a thought for those who would suffer disproportionately.
