Best Way to Celebrate Death of Thatcher

We Didn't Pay Poll Tax, Don't Pay Council Tax!

The death of Margaret Thatcher brings back memories of the only significant defeat she suffered at the hands of the people: the Anti-Poll Tax Campaign.  Millions of people refusing to pay helped bring about her removal as Prime Minister.  In old Market Square on Monday leaflets were distributed urging people not to pay Council Tax as a protest against the cuts.  These were well-received by many people who had fond memories of defeating the Poll Tax.

After Thatcher we have her political heir, David Cameron, imposing severe austerity measures attacking ordinary people, especially poor ones.  The best way in which we can celebrate Thatcher's death is to develop a new campaign of mass refusal to pay up, not to pay Council Tax.  You don't have to go to London to do something but can start here in Nottingham by helping at the Don't Pay Council Tax stall in Hyson Green on Saturday

You want to use her death as an excuse to push your own political agenda, by trying to get me to do something illegal (and thus face the consequences of losing MY money through fines) just so that your political wants are one step closer to being met?

Here's my reply: Fuck right off
