Lets put our feet on the street.
Bring banners, friends, placards etc - lets send out a message and drive forward on this essential issue - under the banner of the We wont pay Campaign.
regardless of who organised this and im sure some peolpe will have problems, i really hope theres a good turnout for this. Its been really well built by the socialsit party in belfast. Not sure whats happening anywhere else.
anyway hope all goes well
Can anyone post a story and photos of the rally. How did it go? Was it the success we all hoped for? Who else turned up?
I was at the meeting on Saturday. I must admit I had hoped to see a few more there. However those that were there must be encouraged by the fact that such a wide cross section of the comunity was represented. A pensioner in the crowd was able to point to where the old "Water rates" office had been. This was where he paid his water bills before the water rates were amalgamated with the district rates. One of the many facts that this Government have conveniently forgotten. No one there could of disagreed with any of the sentiments from the platform. Unfortunately there seems to of been some kind of media blackout of the occassion. As far as I could see the "Sunday Life" didn't cover the event. UTV didn't deem it important enough for a mention. The BBC gave it a brief mention a "Blink and you'll miss it" clip on the news but failed to give any air time to the many valid points made on the day. It seems we'll have to fight with the media as well as the government.
Belfast city beat said 3- 500 although I would say 2-300. The ICTU CAWT lead rally a few days prior had 30 or so.
around 150 at the protest
