That's exactly it. It's all well and good to call for it to be taken from taxes when you don't pay any.

See this is obvious bait.

You're hilarious. Actually your probably be better of ranting on Twitter with this. Youd get more response their. Probably the type you are looking for.

YouTube is a good spot for this nonsense too. Jesus you'd get great reaction on your bait there

I just assumed they saw it on someones twitter or something and bought it off them without checking if it was genuine. But the picture is pretty well backed up by the footage of him.

The photo is attributed to one of the Indo's own photographers.

This is getting out of hand now, we are entering the greatest social divide this country has seen in decades.

Can see a 3 tier society emerging like certain other countries and its not going to be pretty

People have been pushed to the brink. There are very genuine cases with austerity and people and society are just looked down on like for example statements online for example like:
'why don't you give up sky'
'Stop boozing in the pub'
'Give up on holidays'
'Why don't you get a job to cover your new bills'

These are just examples. As if people would have these luxeries (I don't know about others but I don't and I presume many more too had to make changes and cutbacks). There comes a time when there is fcek all else to cut back on. This snobberish and looking down on people is coming from our own government too.

Real or fake I'd would surprise me little if a reporter handed someone a hundred note to make some good photos for joan to deflect about in the morning.

The media and the government are. Unscrupulous in their pursuit to tar all these protests with an 'element'

So now it's real but "set up" this is classic

Water charges will help working tax payers. By taking the expense away from the government's balance sheet they could reduce taxes next year and increase social welfare by an additional €500m.

Without a doubt a good portion of the rent-a-mob in Jobstown don't actually work and thus don't care nor have the brain power to understand the argument in favour. God forbid they might have to pay for something in society.

Stay classy San Diego.

It's true. The people causing trouble and acting like thugs are the scumbag/republican subversive and lost cause side of society. They have nothing to lose and they have nothing to offer.

Compared to most countries around the world, we're fairly tame when it comes to protesting. Someone throws a brick and we have people fainting at their keyboards.

It was disgraceful behaviour from little thugs who probably aren't even protesting against the chargest, it's just to cause trouble.

Why should the gardaí have to put up with stuff thrown at them?

Little pups with nothing better to do.

Why on earth wasn't it incorporated into the LPT though?

I mean if it's going to be a flat charge they could have saved themselves a huge headache.

So the 100,000 people(number from rte) out protesting a few weeks ago don't pay tax? It's very easy to say the only people who don't want to pay water tax are "dole scrounging rent a mobs" but clearly the demographic from the many many protests up and down the country discredit that. I'm sure the crowd on the 10th of December will just be dole scum as well :rolleyes:

Social media might be have many negatives, however it's an excellent resource for news that you will not see in the mainstream media, this for example i don't believe would ever be shown on RTE , IW contractors pushing and shoving an old man and trying to force his gate open while they install a meter, whereabouts were the garda here,selected policing or none at all has become a major issue.

absolutely shocking

This man isnt old and certainly not the innocent man you are portraying. He came onto the pitch in Croke Park three years ago and attacked a few on live TV.

My water meter was installed as were 1000s more without incident, somethings tells me here the workers are not at fault.

First world problems and all valid questions incidentally. Why are people pissing welfare money down pub toilets? Why do they have satellite tv when so many workers struggle to have or maintain that? Why are they going on holidays when so many workers can not afford it? Why shouldn't they cover their own bills like the rest of us?

Their post was neither accepting nor defending those actions.

Have to say though, kudos to Paul Murphy. He's done an excellent job of turning this into an anti-Labour issue for an army of unwitting pawns.

These people protesting should be asking why Labour is at the sharp end of their focus? Fine Gael is the senior government party. Or is it because 'Paul Murphy says so', because he knows Labour disintegration will benefit him more than FG?

Cunning and all that, but I feel sorry for the folk whose passions have become employed by his politicking.

Why so many questions when the only one that really needs to be asked is,

Why are you generalising when you have zero factual basis to do so? Saying none of them pay tax is total crap and you know it.

Remember the woman in the tent with her kids? Her very words when asked about going on holidays to Spain while claiming poverty "I'm entitled to my holiday". Summed it all up for me.

Middle class throwing all the blame on the lower class while the rich keep laughing all the way to the bank. Then people wonder why it's always the rich who keep getting richer.
