Public meeting
7.30pm Wednesday 29th September
@ Easton Community Centre, Kilburn Street.

Speaker: Martin Upchurch (Professor of International Employment Relations, Middlesex University)
David Cameron has talked much about his desire to introduce a Big Society and to attack Big Government. This open meeting will discuss and analyse the ideology behind Cameron and what he really means by the Big Society.

The attack on public services has been dressed up by both Cameron and Clegg as necessary to reduce deficit spending. Yet hidden behind this blatant attempt at class war on the poor, the newly unemployed, and the
vulnerable is a set of ideas aimed to privatise whole sections of services that are vital for a decent society. In its place the Coalition seeks to isolate working class communities by stripping them of support services and relying solely on privately provided and voluntary services reminiscient.
