Do you think access to Water Is a Human Right ?

Why are hundreds of thousands of people protesting and 
CAMPAIGNING against the imposition of water charges ?

Because they are tight****s.

Because they have too much time on their hands. If they went working they would be able to afford water.

Access to food and water may well to be a human right. That doesn't mean it should provided without charge, in modern societies people are provided with welfare payments to allow them afford such things.

Nobody seems to campaign for free food. I wonder why? Why does the government not provide gruel to the populace?

Inadequately apparently. Boil water notices and lead pipes all over the place.

That's the thing, we really didn't fund it enough which is one of the reasons it's so fecked now. And it's something that is going to take decades to fix. One way or another the provision of a functioning public water supply has to be funded. It's either increase general taxation to cover it or put the cost on the end user.
