Soaring water charges

Dear Ms Seabeck

Those who advise Government in Britain today, irrespective of political party, provide false data, which is the cause of an excessive tax burden. In the past and in other places, private institutions have been granted a franchise to raise taxes for profit. Hardly in accord with socialist principles to use capitalist ideals to tax the poorest of the poor. We all must drink water or die.

We die quicker from a lack of water than a lack of food.

Therefore the provision of potable piped water, is a public utility par excellence. To use the necessity of drinking water as a money spinner for the Exchequer, is a diabolical corruption of social Justice.

The felony is worse compounded by using the taxation of drinking water, to finance clean beaches for the benefit of the nation's leisure classes.

Our water bills have become an obscenity and for no purpose whatsoever. If ever a tax was unfit for purpose it is the tax on potable water. One might say that the provision of water is the only truly legitimate function of government.

The truth is that a consensus has been established in Parliament by economic ignoramuses, such as Milton Freidman and Maynard Keynes, to the effect that if Government were allowed to create new money to service economic growth and progress, there would be uncontrollable inflation.

Thus we have given private financiers, such as bankers, a monopoly on the creation of new money and have robbed Government of its prerogative, the right to benefit from the creation of new money as necessity demands. Private financiers are the hard core of capitalism. The anathema of socialism. If we don't like to call those, who are taken to be global authorities on economics, ignoramuses, then let us say that Maynard Keynes was at heart a communist and Milton Freidman was beyond the extremity of right-wing socialism. We all ignore the warning of Amschel Rothschild “Whosoever creates and issues a nation's currency has Supreme power over that nation and is above the law and above Parliament”

We now live in a financial dictatorship and democracy in Britain is dead. This is a total disaster and the protest of the people concerning their soaring water charges, is in fact a demand for the return of democracy to Britain.
