While Labour began its Party conference, Brighton seafront hosted thousands of people calling for ‘Jobs, Education and Peace’.
Tax the rich and give welfare to all, protesters demanded.
The national protest, supported by major trade unions and left-wing groups, also ran under the banner ‘Rage Against Labour’. The protest passed without interference from police, and caused minimal disruption to the city.
Speakers from the national trade unions NUJ, NUT, UCU, and PCS, supported by Unite Against Fascism, the Green Party, Stop the War and many others, called for:
- An end to government cuts in public services
- New green jobs
- Welfare for all
- An end to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
