the report on the anarchist presence on the march is maybe fine for those who measure the success of events in that way, but for the rest of us, could you tell us the basics: how many on the march in total, how effectively did the unions mobilise people, was there a big turnout beyond the organized left, any areas better represented than others?
It's great to see the anarchists endorsing another CWI led 'We Won't Pay Campaign' without them pointing out what lessons they may have learned from previous linking up
The report is posted by one of our younger Dublin members so he probably wouldn't be familar enough with the Belfast left or unions to make a comment on how good the turnout was from either. I'd say well done for getting a report up - its more than anyone else has done so far and Belfast is chronically under reported on indymedia in comparison with Dublin. I'm also curious as to the answers to those question so perhaps someone familar with the local situation could fill us in?
For those curious about similar campaigns the WSM has been involved in with the CWI see

Water warning for Ian Paisley
Sunday Life, April 01, 2007
By John McGurk
Future First Minister Ian Paisley and his Stormont Excecutive colleagues must immediately scrap the tap tax - or face the wrath of anti-water charge campaigners.
That was the hard-hitting message heard by a crowd of more than 500 people at a Coalition Against Water Charges rally in Belfast city centre yesterday.
Coalition chairman John Corey urged people to make Ulster's new government sit up and take heed of opposition towards "unfair and unjust water charges".
Said the NIPSA general secretary: "I believe if the new devolved Executive wants to win the confidence and trust of the people, let their first act be the scrapping of household water charges.
"And if they do not do so, let the message go loud and clear from this demonstration to the local political parties that this coalition, with the backing of the public, are determined to carry on the campaign against water charges until we achieve our goal.
"And that campaign will include our commitment to mount an unprecedented civil disobedience action of not paying water charge bills, if or when those bills are ever issued", he warned.
Mr Corey told Sunday Life that he was heartened by the degree of public support for the campaign. He warned that the average water bill would be a whopping £600 per year if the charges are implemented.
Rallies were also held in Londonderry and Strabane yesterday afternoon.

Those SY Belfast members look identical to a couple of Dublin SY members - thats quite a remarkable achievement!
They do look very familiar. Cloning?
Cause god forbid anyone dare come from Dublin to show solidarity with the demonstration!
that the Coalition against Water Charges attempted to call off the march because water charges had been posponed by the Brits
If you are a political activist in a City for a weekend break would you not head along to a protest and show solidarity? Get over it losers. That kind of mentality divides up movements. From what I can see from the protest most people there are Belfast residents not connected to any particular political group.
I think the journalist that wrote this article is very skilled, he moulds the words like they are clay in his hands.
