Last week we were hit with a triple whammy : first the Budget followed by the decision of leading unions, including the PCS, to call off the national strike set for the 28th 0f March and then the passing of the Health and Social Care bill.






So to carry a coffin through the streets of Bristol, as took place last Saturday on the NHS - RIP demo could be seen as pushing the scales decisively from optimism to pessimism as to the state of workers struggle. So here are a few photographs, from that demo, to counter that feeling by showing dialectically through street theatre the fact that if we fight we might win or we might lose but if we don't fight to start with then we will lose for certain.
