74-Year-Old faces losing home over climate protest against fossil fuel investments. Jane McCarthy from Aylesbury refused to pay council tax to pressure Buckinghamshire Council to divest from "investments in climate destruction." Despite a Final Charging Order granted to the council, McCarthy, who has incurable cancer, remains committed to her cause, emphasizing the impact on future generations. Buckinghamshire Council, while acknowledging her views, stresses the legal obligation to pay council tax for funding vital services.
