The march and rally that took place in Brixton to protest about the imminient cuts in social spending attracted around 200 local people. At midday the rally strated at the Brixton Oval, where representatives from Lambeth Save Our Services, Lambeth Pensioners Group, the local branches of UNISON, GMB, NUT and UCU unions, and workers from the Lambeth One O'clock Clubs gave speeches about how the imposed cuts will be afecting the local sercvices. Then, a rather ritualistic march started around central Brixton and into the market area, to end back at the Oval. It wasn't exactly an expression of anger as seen in onther parts of Europe, but it may, at least, represent the start of a local mobilisation.

Once the march ended, and as part of a UK-wide campaign,  a group of people made its way to the Vodafone store right next to Brixton tube station to protest against the company's avoidance of a £6bn tax bill, effectively shutting it down for most of the afternoon. See pics below ...
