The up and coming G20 financial summit to be held in London's Excel Centre, Docklands on April 2nd is costing the taxpayer £6 million to stage.
The one day summit where 20 world leaders, including Barak Obama, will meet to discuss how to resolve the current crisis of capitalism.
As millions of ordinary people begin to feel the recession hit hard, the government, after handing over billions of our money to the banks is now happy to spend another £6 million on what is essentially a glorified photo op. £6,000 alone was spent on the logo!
Imagine how much of that £6 million could be useful to the health service?
Again this shows the contempt our leaders have for those that elected them. Now is the perfect opportunity to show these leaders, plus the bosses and bankers who are profiting from our misery, just what we feel about them.
March 28th - April 2nd a week of actions and activities, demonstartions and protests as the G20 roadshow rumbles into town.
