As anger around the country continues to grow at Cameron & Clegg’s assault on the services, jobs and the standard of living of ordinary people, all to pay for the crimes of the bankers and their enormous bailouts. Following the huge TUC lead demonstration in London on 26th March last year, another national mass demo has been called for Saturday 20th October.
