use taxes for water services and sewage not WAR and BOMBS

Paul what'isname, secretary of state for Northern ireland, is hoping to introduce water charges in Northern Ireland. Water charges are to be introduced into Northern ireland to pay for BRITS WAR IN IRAQ. we in northern ireland have not had to pay water charges, why should we now, why should we have to finance the brit military machine.

I suggest Paul what'isface takes money out of the security budget to pay for the running of our water services, instead of making us pay water rates. we have never had to pay water charges, why should we start now, JUST BECOS THE BRIT GOVERNMENT IS WASTING OUR TAXES ON pointless WARS and MILITARY and security forces. YOU KNOW WHERE YOU CAN SHOVE YUR WATER RATES, TONY blur/Alan B'stard.

We who live in Northern Ireland, already have to pay 26% more for our electricity than the rest of the UK and ireland. Our groceries and food also cost alot more in Northern Ireland. Bread costs just 39p in england, yet we still have to pay 65p for the same loaf here in Belfast. The citizens of Northern ireland are already paying over the odds for our basic food staples and electricity. Charges for these basic amenities are already hiked up over 20% more than the average price they pay in the mainland and in the South of Ireland. why should we now be robbed of more money.
