EAST BRISTOL (FISHPONDS) AGAINST THE CUTS 
Public Meeting: MONDAY 7th FEBRUARY 2011
Speakers:

·         Chris Cuthbert: PCS Union, Lodge House, JobCentre Plus,
·         Matt Holinshead: UWE Student Occupation against  cuts and fees,
·         Roger Davey: Unison Health Group Executive (personal capacity).

7.30pm Crosskeys Pub, 627 Fishponds Road, BS16 3BA
Communities in East Bristol and across the country face a devastating attack on our public services, Bristol City Council are planning £30 million in cuts to services  -- Unison estimate this means 1,000 jobs being lost. These are not the jobs of highly paid unaccountable bureaucrats but of home care assistants, teachers, refuse collectors and caretakers – people who make our communities tick and care for the most vulnerable in society. The fight back has started. 100,000’s of students marched and occupied against fees and cuts before Christmas. Civil servants in the benefits call centres at Lodge House and elsewhere were on strike on 20th and 21st January and their union voted overwhelmingly (96%) to back a campaign against all cuts. There are important demonstrations in Bristol and London in the next few weeks. If you are one of the millions who depend on public services, not a millionaire who benefits from cuts you should be there too. JOIN THE FIGHT BACK!

    The sovereign-deficit is not the result of public services, Brown continued to cut and privatise at the same rate as Blair - it is a result of bailing out the banks, not in the interests of the people of the country but in the interests of bankers' profits and bonuses. Why not collect that £120 billion of tax that is avoided or evaded by the rich every year!
