Real cost of water

Though it’s been five years it’s hard to forget the earnest individual manning the protest line at Croke Park when the English rugby team played there in what has become to be recognised as one of the great milestones in our recent history.

“No foreign games in Croke Park” read his poster; an entirely legitimate if jurassic argument which was undone by the unfortunate fact that our True Gael was wearing a Glasgow Celtic top.

There has been a minor outbreak of the same kind of Alice in Wonderland logic in recent weeks at protests about household and water charges.
