Anti Cuts Resistance in Bristol

Auntie Cuts | 24.09.2010 07:29

Were all in this together
The Anti Cuts Alliance is growing in Bristol and Bath with a massive demonstration planned for the 23rd of October in Bristol, Coaches going to the Tory Party Conference on the 3rd October. Well attended meetings in Bristol and Bath have saw over 100 people representing all groups on the left coming even the anarchists were there. Local groups of opposition are coming together with a meeting in Fishponds happening last Tuesday and further meetings being planned for the future. All to show opposition to the money grabbing, service wrecking, community destroying government that we have headed by David (I'm one of you, honest guv, were all in this together, please help us to help you destroy your community) Cameron.
Well guess what David we are all in this together, all in this together to F**K you off, to stop you destroying our services and communities you Etonian Scumbag. In fact I would just like to send out my heartfelt thanks as it has taken years for the left to actually get off its arse and start working together in collective resistance in Bristol and just by magic you can get this to happen in just a couple of months and even the Unions are starting to act like Unions at a National Level, much to the delight of the membership. Nothing like to Tory government to mobilise the masses, also a big shout out to Nick Clegg for completely discrediting the Liberal Democrats and thus further increasing the new membership or anti cuts resistance, although they can't really claim and real credit as they don't really do anything. And the labour party well... well done for losing.

As my mate said to me the other day about the Lib CONS, you got to give it to them those bastards they bring politics right into the front room and smack you in the face with it.

Well now is the time to get out of the front rooms and join the fight, as you can be sure that the fight will come to find you if you don't. The CON Libs are not about inequality they want all people to suffer equally in a drive to the bottom, until we are all equal in our lack of services, lack of benefits safety nets, lack of affordable housing, healthcare, social services, education of our children and on and on. So don't think this won't affect you, because it will, unless we directly do something about it. Oh the rich aren't included in this plan surprise, surprise!

This attack will not be stopped by Party Politics, Direct Action and organising is what's needed.

This is not just about protecting our services, communities etc. it's about making a better world not just the continuation of the New Labour Project or another Neo Liberal apologist government. I don't want to just stop the cuts I want a fundamental change on the way our society organises and we cant wait another 20 years for this to happen.

This crisis is an opportunity, the time to act is now and the way to act is together.

This is a brilliant analysis of what's going on by David Harvey and why we should all be anti capitalists and is good entertainment check out some of the other animated talks on the right hand side.
