In the United Kingdom, in the face of soaring energy prices, citizens refuse to pay their bills

Faced with this, the movement “Don’t Pay” (do not pay), which appeared last June, asks that the price of gas and electricity bills be reduced to a reasonable level by October 1. Failing this, its 115,000 supporters threaten to go on bill strike from October.

This Friday, these people demonstrated in London, Glasgow and other cities across the country to make prices affordable again. “There comes a time when you need civil disobedience to make your voice heard. Otherwise, by doing nothing, you are endorsing the action of the government“, expressed one of them.

The government has condemned this campaign and considers its message irresponsible.
