Nobody is allowed to protest against austerity today. If you're well off it's 'champagne socialism'; if you're not it's 'politics of envy.'

He's right.

"communist caroline lucas"

She's a socialist lmao, wouldn't back the greens if they were communists because I don't believe that works.

I entirely back these protests, one of my friends is actually going to this.

Always some nay sayers who make disparaging comments about those who actually want positive change.
Comparing Greece to the UK is like comparing apples to oranges.

I was too Jack_,have company this weekend as to family so couldn't.
I intend to be at others however.

Anything that keeps the unnecessary things like the planned further austerity cuts by this govt in the public eye,is welcomed by me.

Just a pity the efforts of these marchers get virtually 'wrongly' ignored.

We need more than this.We FIRST need to take on the Media and create a TRULY Democratic Media,

One which is not so biased toward the interests of the rich owners and the Tories,one where journalists are not scared to not say what their rich Masters want

and where they are not allowed, hopefully,is made illegal to delete information about the Tories.

Why do so few see this,and why are evens less prepared to stand up to the Media ?

Unless we do that,then we will NEVER have any real success with the other Campaigns,

as we need to NOT always have Tory like Govts in the House and need to change the make up of MP s in the house

to get enough on our side and who are prepared to stand up and show so to get the changes in legislation needed

to acheive what we are looking for from the other Campaigns.

in my little life , the things that have affected my life worst are corrupt labour councils, wasteful spending, endless council and local government cover ups, endless stealth taxes on the workers, major drug taking, the highest drug related crime in the western world and rewarding millions of lazy workless people who breed for benefits. those same people have more spending power and are seen on the streets far more, drinking drug taking and drug pushing....also useless civil servants and toothless social services and of course useless cops who are too cowardly to target these violent drug pushing thugs. Ive run many businesses and all are strangled by endless European laws rules regulations costs etc etc all of which attack and rob the working man at the bottom and all of which embolden the mega rich corporations and also allow local governments to steal our money....in the 1980s the liberal left marched against Maggie thatchers Ł70 A YEAR POLL TAX....NOW ITS CALLED COUNCIL TAX AND NEW LABOUR PUT IT UP TO Ł1500/2000 YET NO ONE MARCHED? CRAZY DOUBLE STANDARDS and an nhs which covers everything up with a massive middle management that wastes money galore and takes crucial money away from life saving treatments. This is the cycle of events.

brand and charlotte church and new labour cover NONE of this, they do NOT represent working class people because they aren't working class and never have been....she was a multi millionaire at 10...he is a rich boy always was , who thinks he understands the working classes because he was a cocaine addict...absurd

both these people and their followers are missing the point of EVERYTHING. AS ANOTHER POSTER SAYS GO TO GREECE TO SEE THE ALTERNATIVE TO AUSTERITY

BRAND and church should go to march on local government offices to expose their waste abuse and corruption....start with Rotherham council covering up 20,000 child abuse cases under the leadership of new labour

Sorry I stopped reading after a while because this post is ridiculous, but the bolded sentence strikes me with a certain irony. Do you seriously believe that people would protest something in such a way like that? Do you seriously think that all lefties are idiots?

Exactly my point.
We are nothing like Greece, thanks to the Tory government getting us back on our feet.
Anti austerity cuts are needed to keep us as a Counrty getting stronger.
More employment, more money in your pay packet(at last) less taxes to pay.
