Bathonians Won't Pay For Bankers' Crisis

On Budget Day, on Wednesday 23rd March, from 5.00pm outside the Abbey in Bath, the Bath Anti-Cuts Alliance will be gathering to show their anger at the Con-Dem government's intended program of cuts and austerity measures across the UK. The campaign will be distributing information against the various attacks on jobs, working conditions and services, but will also be letting people know about ways to oppose them. They will be particularly trying to build for the large national TUC demonstration that will take place in London on Saturday 26th March against the cuts, and provide information on transport to the event.

The Bath Anti-Cuts Alliance was set up in September 2010 to fight the planned Con-Dem cuts to services, jobs and conditions in our working and community lives. Non-sectarian and non-party politics based, the group is comprised of students, workers, the unemployed, pensioners, claimants, socialists, anarchists and community activists. Rallying behind the slogans of "fatcats, bankers, politicians - we won't pay for their crisis!" and "no cuts anywhere", we rail against the insulting Tory millionaires' claims that "we are all in this together". They say 'cut back'? We say 'fight back'

The campaign meets every other Tuesday night, 8pm, in the Bell public house on Walcot Street (though we may be changing meeting venue soon - please check before each meeting). The hour-long meetings are fairly informal, with a rotating chair and minute-taker, and all-comers can add to the agenda, which is composed at the beginning of each meeting.

All are welcome to come along and join us on the day!
