This Wednesday, 28th May, sees the anti-cuts protest notch up a gear with the Manchester People's Assembly street protest on Market Street, followed by an unusual spin on a public meeting.
Between 5:30pm and 7:30pm, campaign groups, performance artists and trade unions will be gathering on Market Street in Manchester to demonstrate against the relentless programme of cuts, and to encourage people to join the People's Assembly National London Demonstration and Festival featuring Russell Brand on June 21st.
At the Street Protest will be political journalist and commentator Owen Jones, who's never off the telly these days being the lone voice of reason and common sense. Lots of Salford people will also be there, including reps from the Save Lower Broughton Children's Centre campaign.
The Street Protest is followed by the Wheel of Misfortune at the Methodist Hall on Oldham Street, from 7pm until 9pm, with an unusual spin on a public meeting. The blurb states…
"Owen Jones will go head to head with the audience, with a short speech on the subjects decided by the wheel of misfortune…Could be serious (austerity, the unions, climate change), scary (who would you rather be stuck in a lift with Cameron, Clegg, Miliband or Farage - and why?), or just plain silly. Owen Jones will open the evening with his take on the importance of building a national movement to bring down any government with an austerity programme."
Also speaking at the event will be Maria Brabiner from Salford Against The Bedroom Tax.
