A London Tea Party?

A brewing tax revolt in England! Gwynneth Lester, a disabled widow, has refused to pay a local tax levy, claiming she gets nothing in return. Officials took her to court and threatened to sieze her collection of garden gnomes unless the taxes were paid. She sent the gnomes into hiding and continues her resistance.

“Well, they won’t be taking the garden gnomes now because I have given them away,” she told Reuters on Monday. “In fact they won’t be getting anything that I have collected over the years because I have given it all away to keep it from them.”

Feisty, isn’t she?
