Public Meeting 8th November

PUBLIC SPENDING CUTS WON’T HEAL!

 

JOIN US TO PROTECT OUR FUTURE

Bath Anti Cuts Alliance Public Meeting

Tuesday 8^th November, 7.30pm

Friends Meeting House, York St, Bath

We’ve hardly begun to see the full impact of the coalition’s proposed cuts in public spending, but this winter will see many people suffer significantly. As usual it will be the poorest and most vulnerable members of our society who will be hit hardest.

Cuts already in the pipeline include:

• Care home closures as the private providers fail.
• Severe reductions in education provision – the closure of A level courses locally and the tripling of tuition fees for university students
• Withdrawal of funding for a whole range of services for the most vulnerable in society, including children, the elderly and the mentally ill.

All this pain and worry is not only unnecessary, but leading economists are now saying that the proposed cuts will make our situation even worse: if we want to solve our deficit problem we should increase taxes on the more affluent members of our society rather than punish the poorest.

The Prime Minister tells us that we are ‘all in this together’ but this is clearly not true. Women are suffering job losses disproportionately, and latest figures show that 20% of young people between 16 and 24 are not in education, work or training – what a waste of our young talent!

NOW IS THE TIME TO FIGHT BACK

If you are a pensioner, a student, a public or private sector worker, a tenant, a home-owner, unemployed or working – unite to defeat this government’s attack on us all.

Come to the meeting: we want to hear how you have been affected and how you think we can best resist.
