Cuts Protest
18 October 2010 by Paul Rhoades
A protest against the announcement of the Government's spending cuts is planned for this Wednesday 20th October at 5pm.
The protest has been called by a newly formed group going by the name of "North Lincolnshire Coalition Of Resistance". The group consists of at least one local councillors and several union activists who together have vowed to fight the cuts locally where ever possible.
In an open letter on their web site the protesters echo our sentiments by questioning why it should be the working classes who have to pay the price for the bankers bail out.
Any one who would like to attend the protest rally should meet at 5pm on Wednesday 20th October at Britannia Corner, Scunthorpe.
Update
We've just been made aware that the demonstration planned for Scunthorpe by the North Lincs Coalition of Resistance is tied up with planned action around the country and also coincides with rally at downing street organised by the Coalition of Resistance.
