Report - Swindon Anti-Cuts demo
Swindon Anarchist | 08.03.2011 12:42 | Public sector cuts | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements
Breakaway group moving off
Overall, the day was a success for the local movement against the cuts, with a large, well attended rally, thousands of leaflets given out, and a large, noisy and determined breakaway group showing that when they say 'cut back', we really do mean 'fight back'!
The day ended with the movement gaining much vocal support from a diverse cross section of the community, a few tax dodgers losing a bit of revenue, and the cops (who have tried their hardest to intimidate and stifle the campaign from the outset) bleating about a 'breakdown in trust'! All in all a good day, and a launch pad for more actions in the future.
At least 5 coaches are being organised from swindon to the big TUC demo in London on March 26th. For more info, drop the local campaign an email at swindonagainstcuts@yahoo.co.uk
