Each economic crisis is used to ratchet down living standards and workers' rights. However, nothing like the current assault since the continuing financial crisis of 2008 has been seen since the 1930s. At stake now is all that has been fought for since then. This is no ordinary crisis.Cambridge Vigil Marks 400th UK Afghan War Casualty

Anna Soubry MP Avoids Demonstration Against NHS
11-03-2012 22:55
On Saturday March 10th, constituents of Anna Soubry's Broxtowe constituency displayed postcards signed by over 500 people asking her to reconsider plans to privatise the NHS.
They gathered outside Beeston Library where Anna Soubry was meant to be holding a surgery. Unfortunately when Ms Soubry heard of this she changed the location of her surgery.
On a previous Saturday in Beeston local people had queued to sign the postcards. Public feeling against the governments Health Bill was strong.
It is a pity that Ms Soubry avoided this visual display of her constituents views.

Another Attempt To Sabotage John Bowden’s Parole By Prison Hired Social Worker
11-03-2012 20:44
It seems that the state and its loyal agents in HMP Shotts, Scotland, are currently manufacturing reasons to present to the parole board as to why John Bowden should be kept in jail.One of the entries in the ‘Parole Intelligence Summary’ says: “Intelligence provides that Bowden either posts blogs or has them posted on his behalf on the following website:
http://breakallchains.blogspot.com/. Further intelligence provides that this website is pro-prisoner and anti-establishment. So it seems that even writing anything supporting prisoners’ rights is sufficient reason to keep John in jail – he’s not being kept in because they consider him a risk to the public.
Here is the latest article from John and contact address for complaints and also to write to him.

Help needed
Were you a protestor or filming at the Student demonstration on 9th December 2010. Or, do you recognise any of the protestors or camera people in this film. We are looking for witnesses to the arrest of two brothers who were wearing "V for Vendetta" masks - they can be seen to the left in the photo named "masked students". This all happened around 3.30pm to 4pm at the corner of Victoria Street and Broad Sanctuary.

Public meeting over future of NHS
10-03-2012 20:55
A public meeting to celebrate Mr Lloyd's success in the High Court and to discuss the next steps in ensuring Gloucestershire retains a publicly-owned and accountable community NHS serviceFollowing a high court challenge by Stroud resident Michael Lloyd, NHS Gloucestershire has
withdrawn plans plans to transfer our local hospitals and 3000 NHS nurses and health
workers out of the NHS.
They agreed to go back to the drawing board, to consult the local community and health
workers about what they want, and to seek NHS options, which do not require a
competitive tendering process.
This is great news, but this is just the first step in keeping our health services in the NHS.
The campaign to Keep Gloucestershire’s NHS Public needs your support now more than ever
