DUNDEE ANTI POLL TAX #3 - THE DEMO

Things are literally starting to heat up now with this demo against the Poll Tax that took place in the City Square in 1989.

Here we have a bunch of activists doing what they said they were gonna do, and that was to burn their Poll Tax books.

"Don't Pay - Don't Collect - We Will Win" was the slogan, with one of the biggest banners in the crowd belonging to the Ardler/St Mary posse.

DUNDEE ANTI POLL TAX #2 - THE ADVERT

If militant activist combat wasn't your thing, then an alternative way to express your outrage at the introduction of the Poll Tax was to follow the advice of local camp rockers, The Beaver Sisters, and that was - to "Eat Your Poll Tax Form!".

This ad is from June 1988.

DUNDEE ANTI POLL TAX #1 - THE MEETING

This was the moment in the late 80's when the Caird Hall was used to announce the setting up of the Tayside Anti Poll Tax Federation.

On stage, L to R - Unknown lass, Philip Stott, Alan Manley, unknown chap, Tommy Sheridan.

The group went on to organise protests and use urban guerrilla type tactics throughout the campaign.
