Went out for a pint this afternoon with a mate.
He was telling me his wife (and other staff), who is a clerk at a local council in the council tax dept., has been receiving death threats for not getting the £150 rebates out to council tax payers.
Some have been coming to their home address and the police have been involved.
Apparently the council staff's names have been harvested from replies to general queries and passed around via social media.
They are awaiting software from their council tax software supplier so can't issue the rebates until it's received.
There are some sick people about.
