Just a small example of where all those stealth taxes get spent:

Andy – formerly Andrea – Baldwin claims that he was hounded out of his
£26,000-a-year job as co-ordinator of Brighton and Hove city council’s
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Safety Forum because his
town hall bosses suffered from transphobia: a fear of transsexuals.
…
Mr Baldwin also claimed that he had been the victim of a whispering
campaign by Linda Beanlands, the council’s safety manager, and Anthea
Ballam, who chaired his safety forum.

No, nothing about LGBT, but "safety forum"? With a co-ordinator, safety manager and chair? How many other members? What does this organisation actually do, other than have meetings?

This is where the money goes folks.
