Date:

Venue: 
Downing Street, London

Coalition of Resistance is organising a protest with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union and Stop the War Coalition. This is planned to coincide with when George Osborne leaves Downing Street to present the budget to the Queen.

Our messages will be ‘Not one more cut to public spending’, ‘Welfare not Warfare’ and ‘Scrap Trident’.

If you can, come wearing hospital scrubs, nurses uniforms, academic mortarboard and gown, a firefighter’s helmet or any other outfit that represents what this government wants to cut, privatise or scrap! Others will be dressed as bankers and politicians.

Call for volunteers: If you plan to attend wearing an outfit that represents a service being cut or can help on the day please phone Sam on 07872 481769.

Please invite your friends and spread the word on Facebook. Click here for the event.

Farewell to Justice? The progressive loss of Civil Liberties in the UK
15 Apr 13

Since 2001, the civil liberties of British citizens have been progressively eroded. Among other examples, the Extradition Act (2003) allows individuals to be extradited to another country for actions that are not criminal in the UK, and without prima facie evidence of a case against them being presented in a British court. This Act can result in long periods of detention without charge (British citizens have been detained for up to eight years).
