A month after the arrival of Scotland's Hate Crime Act and it appears reports of the demise of the Scottish Enlightenment may have been premature, no thanks to the SNP but due to the doughty spirit of the Scots.

Should governments be able to censor online content for the entire world? That's what Australia is claiming the right to do. But do they really think China and Russia should be able to choose what the world sees?

Picket forces cancellation of recruitment day

We Won't Pay Campaign 1 Echo 0

Congratulsations to everyone who took part in todays successful picket, the first of many!
Picket forces Echo to cancel it's recruitment day
Picket forces Echo to cancel it's recruitment day

The We Won’t Pay Campaign claimed their protest today a victory after it was announced that Echo Managed Services, the company responsible for recovering unpaid water charges on behalf of the new water company Northern Ireland Water Ltd., had cancelled it’s much publicised open recruitment day.

Secretary of the We Won’t Pay Campaign Gary Mulcahy speaking at the protest today warned Echo that today’s protest was the first of many to target it’s headquarters on Upper Queen St in Belfast.

Mr Mulcahy said “ This company is a consortium of multi-national companies who specialise in debt recovery for water companies in Britain. It is a scandal that the Government is paying Echo £70million of taxpayers money to harass and intimidate people into paying water charges, which we already pay for through the rates. We would also like to remind people that this is the same company that labelled working class communities in northern Ireland as being ‘Rock Bottom’.

We want to send a clear message to Echo today that they will not get away with threatening people into paying the water double-tax. People are not rock bottom, but on the contrary are rock solid behind the We Won’t Pay Campaign’s call for mass non-payment of these charges.”

Well done to all concerned. With the government resorting to "Bullyboy" tactics it's good to see the momentum continuing.

"We will do things that will be the terror of the Earth. It's just that we do not know yet what they will be."

With apologies to Shakespeare for the paraphrasing. But none to ICTU. Nor indeed the NIPSA "leadership".

Why should we have to pay for one of life's essentials,we already do through water rates anyway. Why do we have to pay twice?
