Day Of Action. Nov. 30th.

Yesterdays day of action here in the UK was a resounding success. My partner Jackie and I attended the march and rally here in Glasgow. Jackie is a member of the P.C.S. union and like most of her fellow workers, was on strike yesterday. The marchers gathered in a very small street in the east end of Glasgow at around mid day. The street was totally inadequate for the numbers who turned up, around twenty to twenty five thousand. We set off at about 12.45 and headed into the city centre. Contrary to what the government would have you believe, the vast majority of the general public were very supportive of the action taken. Most were standing applauding as we marched by. Cameron described the strike as a damp squib. He was either misinformed or just chose to lie about what was happening. This was a lot more than a damp squib. The march culminated in a rally in the Barrowland Ballroom, however, only a very few of the marchers could actually gain entry to the venue. unfortunately we were among the unlucky ones. All in all the day was a complete success and was a great start to the fightback against the Tory cuts. I await with interest the followup to this strike. In my opinion the unions should act quickly while the public support remains strong. I expect a government propaganda campaign to begin to discredit the unions and try to weaken their position. No doubt the BBC will be used for such a project.
That will do for now. There are numerous videos of the various marches that took place throughout the UK on youtube.
