    Whereas those running the household charge (paid state employees) would probably run a bath for a dead person, then threaten them that they must get into the water............. multiple times over.

    And claim a 'get corpse in bath' allowance for doing so!

    Not when we are talking about protesting. Do nothing / do nothing same result really absolutely nothing happens other than some claim they are protesting. Although I am protesting against violence all across the world by doing nothing, its going well though I can see world peace just round the corner.

    I'm not affiliated with them, but if they want to see the comedy they are free to come.
    Everyone must pay for their ticket though, even those in local authority housing.

    Stupid summarisation tbh. (outdone yourself this time)

    You're familiar with the term 'boycott' yeah?
    A boycott is an act of voluntarily abstaining from using, buying, or dealing with a person, organization, or country as an expression of protest, usually for political reasons. It can be a form of consumer activism.

    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boycott

    I have to say though Donal.

    You've certainly come on in leaps and bounds from someone who was 'anti hhc' but paid it just to save money at the start.

    Did I sense Pat Rabbitte beginning to have doubts about Govt policies this morning on the Pat Kenny radio show. Will the house of cards creak even more after the budget?

    Shouldn't the campaign be monitoring the court lists waiting for the cases that they knew summons has been issued for to come up for hearing?

    Were they waiting for a letter from the council to tell them about the cases? *awaits predictable response*

    I'm not part of any campaign but I definitely would not support multiple property owners anyway.
    I would support people who are defending their own (sole) homes from this unjust and unfair tax.

    The household charge aimed to raise €160 million from all homeowners in the state. The local authorities are determined to pursue even the poorest households for this flat €100 charge.

    At the same time councils and local authorities are owed €700 million in outstanding commercial rates and development charges. The figure for development charges still outstanding is €395 million. Why would anyone have confidence in the council's ability to collect the €100 for which we get nothing in return when they could not collect €395 million in development levies from which many builders and developers made billions?


    I have no confidence in (a) the council's ability to collect the charge (b) their ability to spend the funds they do collect in a constructive, efficient way.

    I don’t assume anyone is a member of anything. Unlike some, I don’t come over all conspiratorial when I encounter someone with a different opinion to me.

    Mind, if you were a member of CAWHT I would blame you for denying it this morning after yesterday’s hilarious fiasco. :)

    Perhaps Pat is playing a little game? Surely you can see the advantage from Labour's perspective of putting out the notion that they pursuing some policies with great reluctance, whether this is true or not?

    I think you need to reassess your understanding of stupid. For example someone saying they are protesting about the HHC while doing nothing is stupid. Surely actually going out and protesting would be better.

    Ghandee, why are you thanking the above, as you are the very one assuming that anyone that has paid the HHC is a member of FG or a supporter of FG, you accused me of it yesterday and I am still waiting for a response from you clarifying why you claim that I am a member of FG or support FG or am in some way affiliated with them.

    You certainly implied it yesterday, I asked you directly if you were claiming it and if you were I asked you to provide evidence showing where I ever declared allegiance to FG, your silence in responding said it all as far as I am concerned.

    Perhaps it would save on confusion if you just clarified who exactly you were claiming was an FG supporter.

    What does that have to do with Moneyguideireland's estimation of the number of liable houses?

    I think he was implying that I'm a FG member. He would be wrong (unsurprisingly).

    But then why did he get me and Vlad mixed up in it, he directly pointed Vlad to one of my posts so this is why I am assuming he claims me to be a member or supporter of FG.

    His silence is deafening again though
