Please make the most of it, as this doesn't happen very often!

Re: Outrageous Council Rates!
I live in Shropshire in a small market town where protests and marches just don't happen. So during the time of the hated Poll Tax, we just had to go along to a much publicised protest about the Poll Tax outside the Council Offices.The crowd must have been 5 x deep and I will never forget the councillors and staff coming out of the Council office door, accompanied by the police in order to get to their cars which were parked at the rear of the buildings. They were pelted with eggs and ripe tomatoes as they exited the office, I just couldn't believe what I was witnessing!!! but although I felt terribly sorry for the Councillors, I couldn't blame the people, they were absolutely livid about the Poll Tax.
How come no-one is protesting now ! what happens as our Council tax keeps rising and bin collections (which is a basic right) change to a four weekly bin collection.
It seems we have all lost the will to fight!
