''Why should I sleep on the street if the bedroom tax doesn't affect me anyway?'' This isn't my fight, I'm not affected by this as I am a renter to a private landlord/employed/mortgaged etc..,'' you may ask.
Because this is about uniting all regardless of financial standing. If we separate ourselves just because a new tax law does not affect us, then we become divided and weak as the government wage their merciless improvisation upon folk on lower income / housing benefit. Even the people who it doesn't apply to at the moment could find themselves subject to a similar imposition if the government are allowed to carry on regardless of an impending result of homeless-ness.
People have been awarded housing tax on a previous set of circumstances - these circumstances have not changed but the government have moved the goal posts.
By showing our solidarity shoulder to shoulder, setting up blankets and sleeping bags as a group outside Centenary square, we will register our fight just as effectively as a written petition only far more persuasively and across to the public mind of each and every one of our city's.
