Jump To Comment: 1 2 3If you didn't register by today (feb 2nd) then you get a standard household bill for 2 adults.
This threatens single people with larger bills if they didn't register.
I'm sure this pushed a lot of folks over the line.
Also tenants under pressure from landlords will likely have to have registered
I hated seeing and hearing the propoganda on RTE radio and television it almost makes me want to not pay the license..What is going to happen realistically is that the charges for water will increase over time,the government still won't be able to turn a decent buck from it,(what with all the expensive consultants)and eventually sell it off to the international water barons..That looks like the end game,and as long as we keep docile and believe the propoganda that all the protesters are dissidents etc,and let RTE worry the sheep and discourage them from joining the protests and voting for the same imbeciles like FF,FG,LAB,SWP etc - we will get the same s**t...Clare Daly will be busy attacking planes at shannon airport and Mick Wallace the tax evader will be talking about rendition and points,like there is nothing else on the agenda,and of course our prized Enda Kenny will be kissing Angela Merkels feet,and sucking up to the other EU lackeys,some of which were done for fraud,i wonder how they got those cushy jobs??
It has always been the plan from the beginning to privatise our water and make us pay for it. The groundwork on this started many years ago. In fact the Lisbon Treaty was part of a big push to enable the privatisation of not just our water, but all other public services. The TTIP treaty now being pushed is Lisbon on steroids and far far worse.
As an indication of how things have been going on in the background, at the last Davos meeting which Enda Kenny was at, he was seated beside the head of the giant multi-national firm Nestlé who just happen to be one of the biggest owners of water supply firms in the world. And why does Enda or any other politican go to meetings like that, because they are essentially summoned there to have a chat with big capital and if they do what they are told and they do it gladly, then they will find that the path to power and the chance of staying in power is a lot easier. Should they fail to toe the line, it is political suicide and all sorts of bad press will follow and if necessary scandals, resignations and all sorts of disruption.
Really people need to look at the bigger picture and the longer term time period in which all these events occur. As an example, take the privatisation of waste. In Dublin alone there are about 650,000 households and while the charges may vary alot for people depending on the number of people per household, it has to be averaging around €500 per year. Well if you work out 500x650,000 that gives a turnover of €325 million a year and the figure could easily be higher. With that sort of money available, every dirty trick was going to be used and probably was used to make sure the entire service was privatised and whilst at the time all we heard was the "environmental angle" -i.e it was necessary to reduce waste -just like now although they have eased off abit because it is not working, where for absolutely months we heard this relentless nonesense that we had to charge for water because it was so precious and we had to conserve it and so on, this of course is just there to draw in the middle class and that block of people who are slightly environmentally conscious and use their guilt to win them over. But as with waste, you don't grow your business by encouraging less waste, you grow it by ensuring there is more waste and working closely with the packaging companies to ensure a steady supply of waste.
As to the political parties, I would imagine it will be a FF and Sinn Fein coalition next time around with SF as the majority party but given in the North they implement austerity, then it follows they will do the same here although if they are really clever they will manage to shift the blame on FF in the same way FG shifted the blame on Labour. In some way the political situation is sort of following what economist Morgan Kelly said about the outcome of the crisis which is that the main political parties in Ireland will come out totally discredited.
