Fourty plus people today demonstrated outdise the local DTI office in Nottingham against Gatt (General Agreement on Trade in Services).

At around 11.30 am today, fourty plus people from people and planet, world development movement and local anti-capitalists protested outside the Nottingham offices of the DTI at the proposed new trade agreement GATT.
There was a tug of war between fat cats and government on one side and poor people, teachers, hospital workers on the other.
The lobby was entered and some protesters were granted a meeting with the local government representatives.
GATT will mean that Water, healthcare, education and energy production worldwide will end up under the control of big buisiness, which will mean if you can't afford it then you can't get it.
