A dozen protestors braved the cold in Cardiff to demonstrate their solidarity with the Bin Tax campaign outside the Irish Consulate.

About a dozen protestors picketed the Irish Consulate in Cardiff yesterday to show their support for the Bin Tax campaign and in solidarity with the people imprisoned so far. The picket had been called by the Socialist Party, and activists from Worker's Power, Cardiff Anarchist Network and the Cardiff Social Forum were also there to show support.

Three of the protestors were invited in for an interview with the Irish Consul - one can only hope that he will send the message back to Dublin that there is international recognition of the injustice of the bin tax.

With best wishes for the victory of the campaign!
