The Socialist Equality Party is calling for a public meeting about the potential mass unemployment leading from government cuts to be held 3pm on 4th September at East Oxford Community Association, 44b Princes Street, Oxford OX4 1DD.
According to the SEP, "The Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition has announced the most savage public spending cuts in Europe" with "as much as £100 billion [to] be cut by 2015, including a three-year public sector pay freeze, pay cuts, tax rises, an attack on pensions, and hundreds of thousands of job losses. This will lead to 1.3 million jobs lost, driving official unemployment to between 3 and 4 million."
They go on to say that "the most vulnerable are being targeted by cuts to Housing Benefit and a campaign to drive at least half a million off Incapacity Benefit. Graduate unemployment will soar to as much as 25 percent. These austerity measures are part of a global process that is plunging the UK and the world economy into a second round of recession deeper than 2008. They are a declaration of war against working people on behalf of the corporate elite."
The public meeting is to be held on Saturday 4th September at 3pm.
