Raise the stakes against slasher Osborne - demonstrate on June 20

1 week to go "End Austerity Now" national demonstration London 20th June

Book seats on Oxfordshire transport here or call 07890081211. Book now as seats are running out.

Transport is running from Banbury, Bicester, Didcot, Abingdon, and Oxford.  Seats are free to union members otherwise £12 waged and £6 concessions. 

Slasher Tory chancellor George Osborne unveiled £3 billion more cuts last week - on top of the £13 billion cuts already planned.

The cuts will hit public services including education, transport and local government. They will make it even harder for councils to deliver key services such as social care.

Together with the sell-off of the government's remaining shares in Royal Mail, Osborne hopes to make a total of £4.5 billion in "savings".

The cuts are three times higher than Osborne's Office for Budget Responsibility predicted. 

The Institute for Fiscal Studies said the Tories were "misleading" over the scale of the cuts in their manifesto.

It said the Tories would need to slash £33 billion a year to meet their promise to cut the deficit - not the £13 billion previously claimed.

Osborne's budget on 8 July could unveil even more. The Tories hope to drive through savage cuts fast.

They have raised the stakes. We need to do the same.

Councils facing 9.9% core funding cut

Councils in England are to face cuts of almost 10% next year in their core central government funding. More here

Take to the streets against austerity - June 20

END AUSTERITY NOW - demonstrate June 20

Many will be shocked at the prospect of another 5 years of cuts, attacks on the workers and the poor, and an escalation of racism to divert anger away from the government.  We can't afford to sit back and wait for another general election - Cameron and co have made it clear they intend to go on the rampage in the next 100 days.  July will set a budget with £12 billion of cuts.  We need to build resistance now.

The People's Assembly is organising a major national demonstration to tell the new government:

Assemble: 12pm, Saturday 20 June 
Bank of England (Queen Victoria Street) 
London (Tube: Bank)

With the Tories going it alone in government we know exactly what to expect. More nasty, destructive cuts to the things ordinary people care about- the NHS, the welfare state, education and public services.

We'll be assembling the demonstration in the heart of the City of London right on the doorstep of the very people who created the crisis in the first place, the banks and their friends in Westminster. We demand that the bankers and elite should pay for the crisis and not the vast majority who had nothing to do with it.

Now is the time to get organizing, to mobilize our communities, to prepare transport and spread the word. We need to do all that we can to make this demonstration bigger and bolder than ever we have done before.

Transport from Oxford is being arranged, details to follow.
