The Independent: "Demonstration over Government cuts planned"
Unions are gearing up for a demonstration in the spring against the Government's massive cuts in public spending, predicting it will be a "huge" national event.

The TUC is organising the protest in London on March 26 and said that by then, the impact of the austerity measures will have started to take hold, with an expected loss of tens of thousands of jobs.

Union members from across the UK are set to join the demonstration in London's Hyde Park, which will follow a series of protests in recent weeks against increases in student tuition fees and cuts in public services.

"As it becomes more and more obvious that the cuts bear down on those who did least to cause the crash, while those who were responsible continue to live in their bonus-driven super-rich bubble, people will get even angrier."

1. That'll never happen here in the USA.
Although it is long overdue.
