CAMPAIGN AGAINST WATER CHARGES IN THE NORTH

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday March 12, 2003 00:26author by Cleo

The brit government is hoping to introduce water charges in Northern Ireland. There have been no water charges in Northern ireland for many years, why start now?

Our water system has run well enough for many years without us having to pay water charges, why do we have to pay them now?. I certainly don't want the brit government creaming more money off people to pay for their pointless wasteful wars in far off foreign soils. Northern ireland people already have to pay more money for their electricity and fuel supplies than the rest of the UK, our electricity and fuel costs more in northern ireland than the rest of the UK. On top of these additional charges and the higher cost of living in Northern ireland, the brit government is now demanding money for water.
