The almost anti-mainstream General Election parties campaign gets underway on Saturday 28th February with a People's Question Time event at 3pm in Central Hall and a Music Beats Austerity gig in the evening at Academy 2.
While the mainstream parties hum and haah over how to cut which services, those with a hopefully humanistic alternative will be hosting a People's Question Time giving their answers to austerity.
On the panel will be comedienne Shappi Khorsandi, Billy Bragg, Mark Serwotka of PCS Union, Sheila Coleman from Justice for Hillsborough, Lindsey German of The People's Assembly and Shahrar Ali, Deputy Leader of the Green Party.
They will be answering questions like `Can we save our NHS from privatisation? Do strikes work? What's the alternative to austerity? Why is there always money for war? What happened to social housing? Can we stop cuts?', although attendees are invited to submit other questions*.
After the People's Question Time event, from 7:30pm there's a Music Beats Austerity gig at Academy 2, starring Billy Bragg, The Farm, Grace Petrie and others still to be confirmed.
