Protest against New Labour's schools sell-off!
Tomorrow, Thursday 7 September, Tony Blair and Secretary of State for Education Alan Johnson will be speaking from 2.30pm at Quintin Kynaston, a technology college in St John's Wood with a largely working-class, ethnically diverse student body and a large proportion of refugees, especially from Iran and Iraq. They are speaking there because it will be one of the first wave of "trust schools" handed over to big business by New Labour.

A short-notice protest is being organised. If you are free please come along to protest against Blair and Johnson's anti-working-class policies - against their sell off schools to the highest bidder, their trashing of our education system, their attacks on our unions and their spending of billions of pounds to kill tens of thousands in Iraq.
