In the run-up to the anti-water charges convention on March 8th, Gregor Kerr (FDAWCC secretary and a member of the WSM) contacted all political parties to ask them their views on the dragging of compliant PAYE taxpayers before the courts over water charges.
When he contacted the Progressive Democrats on February 26th, he was put on to Sarah Morris in their press office. Her initial response (speaking on behalf of the PDs!!) was that "..we (yes, the PDs) always did feel that water charges were double taxation....we voted for them because there was no other way of funding local authorities".
It seems that even in the PDs there is honesty, and there is politics!!
