As well as the main pickets and march yesterday, a critical mass was organised to shut down the city. A group of 25 cyclists cycled (at extremely slow pace) around the city centre for a few hours after the march had finished, spreading the word about the strike and the fight against government cuts everywhere we went. There was a huge amount of public support for our message.

The ride ended at the Sumac Centre in Forest Fields where the Autonomous Nottingham free space had relocated. We all sat down to eat soup and talk about how the day had gone. There was a formal discussion about workers' struggle and ways we can make it more effective and extend it followed by a screening of The Take, an inspiring film about Argentina's expropriated factories, under worker control and run cooperatively.

The struggle continues...
